Walker County said Adventure Acres, the county's first signature park, will open this month with a grand opening event set for May 20.
According to the county bulletin, the park occupies roughly 8 acres off Salem Road in Rossville and includes a nature-themed playground, splash pad, a quarter-mile walking trail, open green space and a pavilion with restrooms. The playground reportedly includes more than 60 components, including a multi-lane zip track, swings and freestanding climbing boulders.
Funding for Adventure Acres comes primarily from a $2.2 million American Rescue Plan Act grant, the bulletin said.
Joe Lee, presenter of Walker 180, described the park as the county's first signature park and announced the grand opening date; the bulletin did not provide event start times beyond the May 20 date. For details about programming, reservations or accessibility features, the county directed residents to official county channels.
