It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that we came together as a community and held a celebration to commemorate Kingsport’s latest community park. Dubbed Centennial Park in 2017, this park marked our City’s origin in 1917. It was an outcrop of the One Kingsport movement with Mayor John Clark.
The park is next to the train station where Santa arrives every year, and there are several year-round selfie spots around the marker. In the warm months, the centerpiece is a timed water fountain where young and older kids mingle in the heat of summer.
This year, thanks to sponsor Mycroft Signs, there is a kaleidoscope of Christmas cheer in the center of the park. This feature radiates into the circle and more Christmas trees than ever before.
Assistant City Manager Michael Borders was on-hand tonight with BMA member James Phillips. They were working the snow blowers tonight and again – another night to remember in Downtown Kingsport.
