Jessie Davis Park stands as a welcoming corridor to the City of Douglasville and will serve as a community hub for generations to come. Recent design upgrades include an updated synthetic turf football field, a new gym with two indoor basketball courts, a zero-entry pool with a splash pad area, expanded parking, new playground areas, a multi-use trail system, pavilion areas and a dedicated senior center.
A major focus of the project, the full turf field are designed for football, soccer, and other outdoor sports. The field allows for expanded team and community usage. Providing a durable and versatile playing surface, the turf ensures year-round use for practices, games, and community events.
The project's goal was to bring the community together. The park includes a state-of-the-art community center, a new gym and a welcoming Senior Center, offering spaces for fitness, socializing, and programming. Additional park upgrades include a multi-use trail system, new pavilions and playgrounds, a zero-entry pool with a splash pad and enhanced landscaping.
The namesake of the park, Mr. Jessie Davis Sr. was a Douglasville native and unselfishly dedicated much of his time, spirit, and resources to the improvement of recreation opportunities for the youth of the City of Douglasville. He began the city’s first organized recreation program for African Americans in 1969 by bringing a baseball team to the city. Mr. Davis' legacy lives on through the this park.
