A longtime public servant in Sedgwick will have his legacy immortalized. The park on the east side of town has a new official name as the Mayor Donald K. DeHaven Memorial Park. DeHaven served as Sedgwick’s mayor for 44 years, as well as six years as a member of the city council. He died on May 17, 2013. Sedgwick City Council approved a resolution designating the new park name during last week’s meeting following a discussion in executive session. The resolution notes that naming the park after DeHaven will be a lasting reminder of his faithfulness and dedication in public service to Sedgwick.
