....ROCK FALLS PARK HISTORY.. ....STOUGHTON'S BEACH.. ..From Butler County: The Second Hundred Years by Ralph Goldinger and Audrey Fetters ..Rock Falls Park was originally known as Stoughton's Beach, developed by Saul Stoughton, a local farmer.

ROCK FALLS PARK HISTORY

STOUGHTON'S BEACH

From Butler County: The Second Hundred Years by Ralph Goldinger and Audrey Fetters

Rock Falls Park was originally known as Stoughton's Beach, developed by Saul Stoughton, a local farmer. The park opened in 1932 and was a true family business, with Stoughton's wife and children operating the merry-go-round, custard stand, roller skating rink, and performing park chores. The swimming pool was a major attraction--claimed to be the largest in Pennsylvania in the 30's and boasting 10 and 20-foot diving boards that were used for Sunday afternoon diving exhibitions.

The park closed from 1941-1945 due to World War II gasoline rationing. Albert McDonald purchased the park after the war and changed its name to Rock Falls Park. Many groups had annual picnics at the park and the resort flourished, with summer residents filling the park's cottages. Mr. McDonald sold the park in 1967, after selling the carousel for a reported $400. Ed Frank, a retired photographer, owned the park from 1972 until its 2003 purchase by Ron Lightner and Todd Heinsberg.
