River Park or Riverfront Park?

I always thought that our park down by the river was called "Columbia River Park" (or simply "River Park"), but the latest Columbia newsletter included with this week's Merchandiser names it as "Riverfront Park," as shown below:


On the signs at the park, shown in the two photos below, the area is called "Columbia River Park."


Which is it? 
Let's pick a name and stick with it.

  1. Cole, the Borough Website says "River Park" two places
    http://www.columbiapa.net/trail-services-buildingriver-park/
    and
    http://www.columbiapa.net/river-park/

    And this is on the home page:
    Columbia Borough has revitalized its River Park and is in the process of expanding the park with a Park and Trail Services Building, increased recreational opportunities and linking to the Northwest Susquehanna River Trail, a trail beginning in Columbia River Park and traveling north to Conoy Township.

    And the sign at the Park says River Park.

    Columbia news, views & reviews has mistakenly referred to it as River Front Park on a few occasions.

    The brass marker at the park entrance says COLUMBIA RIVER PARK.

    1. Thanks Brian. I just added two pics I took today of the park signs. I forgot to put them on the post earlier.
      You're right - the one at the entrance says "Columbia River Park."
      I've heard others refer to it as "Riverfront Park." I think that's what Marietta calls their park.

  2. Let's keep "Columbia" in Columbia River Park please. Calling it Riverfront Park takes Columbia's name out of a project that many of the borough's residents have supported in one way or another.

    1. How about calling it what it is. The Columbia boat launch.

  3. Columbia Park, Longs Park, Stauffers Park, all the good ones are just called Park
