Thurman-Hutchins Park
Expanding Green Space
On June 8, 2000, an 80-acre piece of land donated by Mr. Jones was dedicated as Thurman-Hutchins Park. The park is named for Mr. Jones’ late mother, Elsie Thurman Jones, and for Lillias Hutchins Ashbury, the late mother of his wife, Betty Ashbury Jones. Mr. Jones paid for the development of the park, which with the value of the donated land, totaled $6 million.
We served as the real estate developer and general contractor for the park.
Located on River Road across from Cox Park, Thurman-Hutchins Park’s facilities include:
- Mile long lighted walking path
- Playground
- Fishing lake with a pier accessible to those with disabilities
- Wetlands
- Nature trails with boardwalks
- Four soccer fields (two are lighted)
- Two lighted baseball fields
- Picnic area
