The Westfield Town Council voted to rename Triangle Park to Washington Rochambeau Trail Park, formalizing the town's connection to the Washington'Rochambeau Revolutionary Route and advancing plans to mark the trail locally. The final vote to carry the motion passed unanimously.

The action followed a proclamation read by the mayor recognizing the town's role in the march taken by American and French forces in 1781 and thanking Trail Administrator Johnny F. Carawan for his work preserving the route. Peter Wong of the National Park Service, speaking for NPS and the W3R New Jersey board, said it was "an honor to join you as Westfield recognizes the Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail." He urged the town to preserve and interpret the route for residents and visitors.

Council discussion and public remarks placed the change in local historical context. Several speakers recounted Revolutionary War activity in Union County and described portions of the march that ran past what is now Triangle Park; a council member noted the Historic Preservation Commission's endorsement of the renaming. The council indicated signage and interpretive materials will follow as part of the town's commemoration plans.

The council voted after the discussion; the motion to rename the park carried. Officials said they will pursue appropriate signage and maps to identify the section of route that runs through Westfield. No timetable for installation was specified in the meeting record.
