Parks & Recreation

Mt. Blanchard is home to Veterans Memorial Park, Island Park along the Blanchard River, and Hurricane Park on S. Main St. — offering green space, recreation, and community gathering spots for all residents.

Veterans Memorial Park

Veterans Memorial Park honors yesterday's and today's veterans who served our country. Located in the center of downtown where West Clay meets Main Street, it is dedicated to remembering the service of those in the greater Mt. Blanchard community who served in the Armed Forces. Any eligible veteran or family member may request to have the veteran's name placed on the memorial.
