Downtown Madison’s revamped mini-park features a boulder engraved with the words “Lawrence Beasley Park” and “Be the task large or small, do it well or not at all,” a phrase often heard from Beasley during his time working as a county employee tending the area.
When local officials first started discussing rejuvenating a little noticed piece of property on the corner of Main and Church streets in downtown Madison, they weren’t sure who they would name it after. But as soon as Madison resident Mayo Yowell suggested the recently redone park be named in Lawrence Beasley’s honor – it made perfect sense.
