EASTON — Parks and Recreation commissioners unanimously agreed to change the name of Toth Park on Thursday night.

“I think it’s wonderful,” said James DiCuffa, a longtime Easton resident.

Toth Park has been named after Stephen Toth since his death in 1985. Toth was Parks and Recreation commissioner known for helping children and volunteering his time to the Boy Scouts, Little League and other recreational programs in the town.

Residents have been urging officials to change the name of the park since 2004 because several people said Toth molested them when they were children.
