After many months
of planning and development, in 1973 the Club purchased property
for $4.500.00 to develop a mini-park in an underdeveloped seciton
of the city. The land was then deeded in trust to the City of
Jacksonville. In cooperation with churches, the City Council
and the Jacksonville Childrens Foundation, funds and manpower
were provided to clear the land, erect fences and to purchase
and install recreational equipment.
In the years that followed,
Kiwanis Park has continued to develop with the addition of basketball
courts and a baseball field. In 1978 a selection of trees was
added to the Park. |
