(KNZA)-The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening heard several requests in regards to the city's Starr Park.
Local resident Brenda Bolden appeared before the Commission to make the requests.
Bolden requested that the basketball court at the park, located in the 900 block of Pottawatomie Street, be named in honor Hiawatha native and basketball legend John McClendon, Jr.
She also requested that a flag pole be erected in honor of black Civil War soldier York Alexander, who was one of the pioneer citizens of Hiawatha. Bolden said Alexander's home stood where the park is currently located.
In addition, she requested that a trash can be installed on the east side of the basketball court.
The Commission took the requests under advisement and will consider them at their November 28 meeting.
