My first visit on Saturday, October 8, 2022 for an outdoor concert was very lack luster. The line to enter was extremely long and no one know which was for VIP. I was charged for VIP parking that did not exist. There was construction of the new city hall and that parking lot was off limits. They were threatening to tow vehicles from that parking lot. Luckily, we were warned by the officer patrolling the area. We had VIP seats, but guest with VIP were allowed to enter before the VIP attendees. Guests that did not pay for VIP were asked to move from the VIP area. Unfortunately, it was unorganized and they lacked the staff to accommodate the crowd. The food trucks ran out of food.

Read moreI love coming to Lee Street Park for the live outdoor music concerts that are held. The only negative that I have is the maintenance & upkeep of the amphitheater area.

Overall, I love the park & city of Jonesboro for providing a place to come out for...
Read moreOne of the nicest parks to visit. Live music and concerts with food trucks and other events on the weekends. Not every weekend. Check scheduling. Oh, I guess I should've lead with free concert!!! BYO lawn chair/seating. Lovely small market with some really great vendors on Saturday morning. Only downside is construction at one end of the park, the red clay from the site is fading into the park causing mudd pile ups. Easily one one of nicest parks I've seen. Really nice size. Large playground area for the kiddos. Full sized bball courts just across the street from the park. Nice gazebo with canopy, although I'm surprised more people don't use it to grill, there's a grill there...
