This 28-acre community park is popular with all ages. Its walking path has good visibility and level terrain, and it is the site for youth baseball and
soccer, tennis lessons and play. In the wooded area, the picnic shelter, with an adjacent playground, offers an
excellent location for group picnics.

History
A cooperative effort among several organizations once again resulted in an excellent addition to the Forsyth Park System. The
citizens of Walkertown had been searching for adequate recreation facilities to serve their area since the abandonment of their
Community Center property in the mid-seventies. Their search brought them to a responsive Forsyth County.
The park site was purchased by the County in late 1983. Soon afterward, a grant from the Federal Government was
obtained to assist with the park's development. The Walkertown Community Center, Inc. also made a generous donation
toward the park's construction that not only matched, but exceeded the Federal grant monies. Coupled with continuing
support from the County, Forsyth County Parks and Recreation was in high gear to commence construction.
Early 1985 saw the ground breaking for the Walkertown Community Park and development continued at a fast and furious
pace. When the dust settled in November of that same year, the park was officially opened to the public.
