Children in Sydney are anxiously waiting if their suggestions will be picked to rebrand the area that was once home to the Sydney Tar Ponds.


The federal and provincial governments are spending $17 million on a park, sports field and outdoor stage.


This follows hundreds of millions of dollars that were spent to clean-up the area that was once considered one of Canada’s worst toxic waste sites.


The Sydney Tar Ponds Agency has asked kids in the area for suggestions to name the park. The final list has been trimmed down to five names.


They include New Beginning – Piley Poqtamkiaq, History Heroes Park, Phoenix Park, S.P.A.R.C.K. Park, and the Open Hearth Park.


The winner will be announced in June.
