Donald Lee & Virginia Joanne Rockwood Park

SUMMARY

Size: 1 acre
Year conserved: 2015

Generously donated by Donald Lee and Virginia Joanne Rockwood.

ABOUT THE PARK

Thanks to the generous donation by Don and Joanne Rockwood, this 1-acre urban park opened in the summer of 2015. This mostly open green space serves as a valuable asset to area residents both as a community resource and a tree-shaded spot to take a stroll. The park has signs identifying various tree species and benches to enjoy the flora and fauna.

Additionally, the park hosts a “Little Free Library” where community members can take a book or share a book.

In 2019, an outdoor fitness equipment station, sponsored by Gainesville Health & Fitness, was installed at the park.
