Nani Falcone Community Park is dedicated to Ernani Falcone. He was Born in Philadelphia in 1928, attended Princeton University and served with the U.S. Army in Europe during the Korean War. For over 30 years he taught high school social studies in his home state of Pennsylvania .   After moving to his wife's home state of Texas in the late 1980s, he founded and chaired the Northwest Neighborhood Alliance and served as president of the Braun Station West Community Improvement Association. Falcone served as a recruiter for his alma mater and helped more than 700 students gain acceptance to Princeton, including many young Hispanics.       Nani was a tireless advocate for the preservation of greenbelts and historic trees and funding for  city parks, and it is particularly fitting that a community park be named in his honor.
