Walker County Government is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony this Tuesday at the county’s first signature park, “Adventure Acres”.  The eight-acre park, located off Salem Road, received $2.2 million in funding from an American Rescue Plan Act grant.

The county has spent the past 16 months collaborating with a team from Barge Design Solutions to shape the park plans. According to Walker County Public Relations Director Joe Legge, the park has been designed so that guests will be invited to “choose their own adventure”.  The park will feature a “Treehouse Adventure”, a “Water Odyssey Adventure” and a “Trail Adventure”.

This week’s ceremony will feature a brief program that includes Walker County Commission Chairman Shannon Whitfield and State Representative Mike Cameron. Access to the groundbreaking will be off Salem Road. The park’s address is 370 Salem Road, off McFarland Avenue in Rossville, across from the old rock quarry.

The park is scheduled to open around Memorial Day 2025.
