The article should change its name to "Georges-Saint-Pierre Park"

Latest comment: 8 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There is no reason why this article is called "Oxford Park" and not "Georges-Saint-Pierre Park" :

-It has been its official name since 1996.

-Most of the information online refers to it as the Georges-Saint-Pierre Park, especially the borough and the city, which are the fundamental for the organization and identity of the place.

-Oxford Park may has been its informal name in the 19th century, but it is not a common practice now.

-It creates confusion for people who are searching information about the place.

Therefore, it should be named "Georges-Saint-Pierre Park" with an automatic redirection page for people searching for "Oxford Park".
