Agreed.
Nice idea, seeing as for years he lived facing the park, but no one's ever going to use the name.
When there used to be two, everyone referred to them as the 'top' or 'bottom bowling green'. Now it's just the 'bowling green', and no one will ever actually use it's new 'Ken Hargreaves memorial bowling green' name. Although they will, when talking about the trophy which apparently is going to be presented in his honour, which is a better idea.
I think the idea of naming something after him in the constituency, which actually has a postal address, would be a much more fitting memorial.
