(City of Huntsville/Contributed, 256 Today)

HUNTSVILLE – Legacy Park will officially open to the public today with a community celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony.

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 (NFC) 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 and Blue Shield of Alabama.

The ribbon cutting is at 3 p.m., followed by a community celebration with free ice cream, hot dogs, music, games, and a performance by the Jemison High School Pep Band.
