(Beaver Falls, PA) Beaver Falls residents have voiced their opinions in regards to the name of a revamped park in Beaver Falls.  A recent post made on the Beaver Falls Community page on Facebook calls on residents to vote on a new name for the park next to the Carnegie Library of Beaver Falls.  The city has been working on the park making major improvements including a waterfall feature and new lighting, and it is set to be complete in the near future.  Names up for voting are “The Falls”, “City Park”, “Beaver Falls Central Park”, and “13th Street Park”. There is one name that wasn’t included on the list, “March Park”.  The park has historically been named “March Parklet”, dedicated to James H. March Sr., for his efforts and community service for Beaver Falls, according to a plaque that remains in place on the wall of the library. Some say that the March family donated the land for the park, although Beaver County Radio has not yet confirmed this. Hundreds of residents have taken to the post comment section to cast their write-in vote for “March Park”, with many saying they believe naming the park anything else would be rewriting history.
