Before there are any blueprints and construction, people in the community are asked to submit suggestions or recommendations for what they would like to see in the park.
The city’s oldest park was renamed James Weldon Johnson park in 2020 and it will be the first time being redesigned since 1977, according to Liz McCoy, who is the executive director of Friends of James Weldon Johnson Park.
“We also want to make sure that the park’s design represents who we want to be for the Jacksonville Community,” McCoy said. “We want to be more welcoming. We want to be a park that celebrates our history and where history is made.”Some people have already started doing this as at least one person wrote their suggestions on paper and put them in a designated drop box that will be in the park at certain times.McCoy says there is a lot of history in the park as it’s had four different names.
The park now bears the name of Jacksonville native, James Weldon Johnson, who wrote the words to the renowned song: “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing.”
