Hello...

Could there be any Trademark issues with launching the domain of a public park?

such as www.centralpark.com - which is a famous park in new york city. There would probably be advertisers promotiing new york city travel and hotels on the domain...

another example could be www.visitgrantpark.net - which is a popular park in chicago....this site would probably have links to chicago travel and hotels

so, is there any trademark issue with launching a PPC page on these types of domains

thanks

I own a public park .com and have had no issues. Don't really see who'd want to take it away other than the city maybe.

I doubt it, but I guess it depends on who owns the park and whether they hold any claim to TM on it. One of the legals may pick this up for you.
