Miamisburg officials are talking about renaming two popular gather spots in the city.

Those discussions involve Library Park and the Senior Adult Center, both near downtown on East Central Avenue.

Talks involve renaming Library Park to Veterans Memorial Park while incorporating “community” into the senior center site, said Miamisburg City Manager Keith Johnson.

The proposed changes are being considered to better reflect those locations, he said. Johnson said the library is building a new location and the park has a veterans memorial.

The senior center, he said, has several activities geared toward younger people. Miamisburg City Council is expected to talk about those issues Tuesday night, Johnson said.
