You're just assuming that the reason it is formerly known as Central 
Park is because it was obliterated. It could be that in the aftermath, 
the park was closed down and shut off permanently due to the massive 
forensic investigation that would naturally ensue and therefore is no 
longer a park. Hence the "formerly known as" bit.
