I get the opposition to corporate branding in public spaces. But there’s also the complaint that corporations don’t contribute to the public good. I’m guessing David Teare didn’t want it named after him. You could have it named after a significant historical local figure but that still doesn’t address the issue of how to foster goodwill by demonstrating your company acts in ways that benefits the public good.

I don't have an opinion about this particular park but usually what people ask for is to tax corporations and use the funds for public good. This means that the public gets to decide how the funds are used rather than the corporation.

Though my preferred economic arrangement is an economy comprised primarily of cooperatives, and perhaps some federation of cooperatives to decide on allocation of funds for public good.
