We rebuilt Jones Park!
Say hello to Candace Pickens Memorial Park!
After five days of herculean work involving over 1000 volunteers, five semi-trucks of mulch, miles of boards, thousands of screws, and hours of smiles, the Asheville community built a new park that generations of kids will enjoy. We thank everyone who helped out with these efforts over the course of the build and we look forward to seeing you at the park!
The park is now open for play! Come on by!
Opening Ceremony
We will soon host an official opening for the park and are working to complete a beautiful park sign, designed by Candace's aunt Jenny Pickens. Stay tuned for an official date. The park is currently open and can be played in by the community.
