A meadow in San Francisco's Park has been named after veteran comedian and actor

The name of Park's was officially changed to Meadow by the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Commission.


The announcement was made by the Recreation and Parks Commission on their official website.

"After death, the Department was approached by and Maggie Lynch, who represent a range community members, elected officials and people working in comedy, to name the area known as in Golden Gate Park in honour of Robin Williams," the release said.

The grassy stretch in Park was the site of an annual Comedy Day that counted Williams among its regular supporters.

Williams was found dead at his home in 2014.
