Should Mueller Park in Minneapolis be "renamed" after Robert Mueller?

Yes. I don't know who it's named after now but this should be done.

So you want to rename a park in honor of a guy who, as the FBI director appointed by Dubya,  participated in lying to the American public in preparation for the Iraqi War and defended NSA surveillance programs?

I appreciate what Mueller did for the country, but he hasn't come close to deserving to have something named after him. had he defied the archaic Department of Justice guideline not to indict a sitting President, maybe then he would have earned more of a hero status for defying the status quo to seek justice.

from the "History" tab on that page:

Name: The park was named for brothers Robert C.Mueller and Herbert L. Mueller on October 26, 1977. The park was named in the Mueller’s honor at the request of neighborhood groups, including The Wedge neighborhood organization. Herbert Mueller had lived in the same house on Bryant Avenue South near the park since 1921. He and his brother Robert, who had been an editor at Field and Stream magazine, were the resident authorities on the natural history of the neighborhood. Robert helped to organize an elm watch, one of the first in the state, in 1970s, as the city prepared for the onslaught of Dutch Elm disease. The Muellers were among the few people who have had a Minneapolis park named for them while still living. The brothers later donated money to assist in the construction of the shelter at the entrance to the Thomas Sadler Roberts Bird Sanctuary at Lyndale Park. Until the park was officially named, it was referred to as Lowry Hill East Park after the neighborhood in which it is located.

but sure, name it after some famous person who's probably never even been there

You were saying Mueller was a GOP plant just a few weeks ago, which is it now?

Barr HEAVILY misrepresented his report.

Robert Mueller is beloved by liberals and detested by far-leftists and conservatives. That's the blunt of his approval ratings, not what heeded during the Bush administration.

Interestingly enough, Trump and Mueller both have German backgrounds. Trump's family was originally Drumpf, but they anglofied the name to Trump, while Mueller's ancestors kept the German last name. Mueller could have been Miller instead. We could have all been waiting for the Miller report.

If you want to remember Mueller's failure...go right ahead.

The history of the Trump surname here isn't quite right. It was changed from Drumpf to Trump in Germany, attested in Kallstadt in the 1600s. The family surname was Trump long before they immigrated.
