Jamison Park

The park was developed with the main goal to serve the dual functions of a neighborhood & community park (with community-level facilitates) serving the western edge of the City. Adding a Maintenance Facility on the western side of the City was also crucial to the Recreation & Parks Department ability to service Muddy Creek Greenway & nearby parks in this area.

In November 2014, Jamison Park was allocated $3 million to transform from 38 acres of farmland in west Winston-Salem into a new Community Park. As the main entry point to the Muddy Creek Greenway, which is heavily used by the local community, Jamison Park is easily accessible by car, bike or foot. The park serves as a hub for a number of different functions: recreation, education, office, events & gathering space, & more. Recreationally, the park features a Nature Based Playground for multiple ages, extensive walkways & greenway connections, a 1.15-acre dog park with both small & large dog areas. In addition, a large Comfort Station & Picnic Pavilion with outdoor classroom facility provides a wonderful learning space for the public & the adjacent Meadowlark Elementary & Middle Schools. The architecture was designed to be “rural” in character for both the maintenance facility & comfort station & allows the park to “fit in” with its history & new uses.
