New All-Inclusive Playground open at Kefauver Park

 In November of 2023, the Tennessee Department of Intellectual and Development Disabilities awarded over 400K in grant money to the City of Madisonville to make Kefauver Park a place where people of all abilities can play side by side! July 8, 2024 a ribbon cutting was held to mark the official opening of the playground.  

A special thank you to Madisonville Library Director Kim Hicks for writing the grant in conjunction with the City of Madisonville, along with Tracey Green and Stacy Chambers as project managers. Also thank you to Commissioner Brad Turner for selecting Madisonville as a location to make a difference!

New Splashpad & Playground addition to Houston Park

Splashpad located at Houston Park in downtown Madisonville, TN

The City of Madisonville recently completed installation on a brand-new playground and splashpad at Houston Park, in downtown, made possible through the generous support of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant funds.  The splashpad officially opened on May 18th with a ribbon-cutting and celebration and was dedicated in memory of the late Madisonville Mayor, Alfred McClendon.   

The addition of this much needed, modern playground and splashpad enhances the recreational offerings of Houston Park, which also includes a basketball court, a lighted walking trail and two pavilions. We look forward to seeing the joy and laughter that will fill this revitalized space, fostering a sense of community and creating a lasting legacy for generations to come. A special thank you to Monroe County Government, for the awarded grant funds, helping the City’s efforts to revitalize downtown Madisonville!
