Iola’s two newest parks, on opposite sides of Elm Creek on the south part of town, are now known as Elm Creek Park North and Elm Creek Park South.
Iola City Council members approved the name change Monday, as requested by members of the Iola Community Involvement Task Force/PRIDE Committee.
Council members also approved a request to have CITF/PRIDE member Jim Smith place a sign at Elm Creek Park South noting its historical significance to the community.
