I think people are missing the point a ton. This isn't Bank of America buying the naming rights to an NFL stadium.

Not a single person will sign up for 1Password because of this park, and they know that. It's not marketing.

Someone with decision making power at 1Password loves this park (or this area) and is using the money they've collected via 1Password to keep it alive and going.

This is wonderful and I love it. It reminds me of how my (venture backed tech) company sponsors the Barnesville Potato Days every year in Minnesota. Not because we think we'll get a sign up, but because one of our employees loved it and talked about it all the time and when they needed money one year we were happy to part with it.

EDIT: Yup, they have an office near there and the founder is from the area: https://dteare.medium.com/14-years-of-growth-the-1password-s...

If someone at 1password loves this park and wants to keep it going, that is indeed great and it deserves respect and should be emulated. But it could have been done without renaming the park. Renaming the park is undoubtedly marketing.

They didn't rename it. The funded the building of a new park entirely.
