Huntsville’s Legacy Park is now officially open to the public.

The city held a ribbon cutting and community celebration on Wednesday.

The $4.6 million park completes the reimagining of the former J.O. Johnson High School campus. Located adjacent to Johnson Legacy Center, it offers the community a large green space, modern playground, plaza, and two pavilions, including an entertainment pavilion with terraced seating.

Legacy Park is also home to the City’s second National Fitness Campaign Fitness Court public art installation. The first opened at John Hunt Park last year. The Legacy Park fitness court was developed in partnership with the City of Huntsville, Arts Huntsville, NFC and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama.

In a previous interview with the Lede, District 1 City Councilman Devyn Keith described Legacy Park as a centerpiece for the area being developed around the former high school.
