The San Clemente City Council changed the name of one of the new parks to be put in place at the Marblehead residential property, Sea Summit.

The park, which had been dubbed Sunset Park, was renamed Vista del Sol at the suggestion of new Mayor Chris Hamm.

The name change was due to having a preexisting park in Capistrano Beach bearing the same name. There were concerns that residents or visitors might be confused because of the close proximity of the two parks. The Beaches, Parks and Recreation Commission had initially suggested the name “Ocean View Park,” however, this would have forced developer Taylor Morrison to change the name of a park to be maintained by a homeowner’s association at the site, as well as the name of a street.

There are five parks being planned for the site, four of which will be maintained by the city. The HOA-maintained park will also be open to the public. Other infrastructure improvements planned for the site include the completion of West Avenida Vista Hermosa to connect with Avenida Pico.
