Town of Jonesborough to Celebrate Grand Opening of Tiger Park with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Tiger Park Ribbon Cutting Graphic

The Town of Jonesborough is proud to announce the grand opening of Tiger Park, a major new community recreation area, with a ribbon cutting ceremony scheduled for Friday, October 17 at 9:30 a.m. The event will take place at the park, located at 720 N. Cherokee Street, adjacent to Jonesborough Elementary School.

Tiger Park spans 30+ acres and offers a wide range of recreational amenities designed to serve residents and visitors of all ages. The park features include:

  • Four age-specific playgrounds for children ages 2–12 years
  • Multi-use athletic fields • Football/soccer field
  • Baseball and softball fields • Rubberized walking/running track
  • Eight pickleball courts
  • Recreation trails
  • Concession stand and public restrooms
  • Athletic field lighting for evening play in addition to scoreboards

“This new park is a significant investment in the health, well-being, and vibrancy of our community,” said Town Administrator Glenn Rosenoff. “Tiger Park will improve the quality of life not only for our residents and school system, but for the entire region. It’s a shared space—a recreational magnet—that will be enjoyed by generations to come.”

The development of Tiger Park was made possible in part through a $2.57 million Local Park and Recreation Fund Grant, awarded in 2023 by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and administered through the Office of Outdoor Recreation.

The project is the result of a collaborative partnership between the Town of Jonesborough, Washington County Commission, and Washington County Department of Education/Board of Education. By locating the park next to Jonesborough Elementary School, the Town ensured it would benefit students during school hours and the broader community during afternoons, evenings, and weekends—maximizing the park’s use and impact.

Tiger Park expands the Town’s capacity to offer additional programming through its Parks and Recreation Department, including youth flag football, pickleball tournaments, spring soccer, and more. The park’s trail system will also provide a connector between downtown Jonesborough and future pedestrian recreation trails to Boones Creek Road. To celebrate the opening, attendees of the ribbon cutting will enjoy live entertainment, the opportunity to tour the park, and complimentary ice cream provided by Grace Meadows Farm Creamery.

Speed Limit Update – Boones Creek Road

The Jonesborough Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved raising the speed limit on Boones Creek Road. New speed limit signs have been installed.
