Join the Walton County Board of County Commissioners, along with Beach Operations and the Tourism Department, at they celebrate the completion of exciting improvements to Henry Park, a treasured historic landmark in the heart of DeFuniak Springs. The Ribbon Cutting honoring the past, present, and future of Henry Park begins at 11AM on Thursday, January 15.
The ceremony will include a brief presentation highlighting the park’s rich history and the recent enhancements that make this space even more welcoming for residents and visitors alike.
Named for Dr. George P. Henry, the first mayor of DeFuniak Springs, Henry Park once served as a vibrant gateway for visitors arriving by train during the Chautauqua era. The park was a lively gathering place filled with music, including performances by bands welcoming travelers to town.
The ceremony will also recognize the legacy of Robert Nelson, whose passion, leadership, and “Let’s just get some things done!” attitude were instrumental in bringing this project to fruition.
