The Ralph R. and Grace B. Jones Arts Park opened to the public on June 27, 2026. It is a welcoming outdoor space where creativity, community, and play come together. Designed as a place for people of all ages to gather, the park features an accessible playground, amphitheater, Harmony Garden, basketball court, and places to relax, explore, and connect.

Whether you’re a bringing the family to play, enjoying lunch outdoors, or simply taking a walk through the Harmony Garden, the Arts Park is designed to inspire creativity and strengthen community. Accessibility was a guiding principle in the design of the Arts Park. The Harmony Garden features fully accessible musical instruments that invite visitors of all ages and abilities to create music together. Wide, paved pathways provide easy access for wheelchairs, strollers, and mobility devices throughout the park. The playground includes several inclusive play elements designed to encourage children of varying abilities to play side by side, while its poured-in-place rubber safety surface offers a stable, accessible foundation that enhances both safety and ease of movement.

Within the park is WCA’s new FabLab, a hands-on creative space offering classes in woodworking, metalworking, glass, enameling, fabrication arts, and more. Be sure to explore our FabLab page to learn about upcoming classes and workshops.
