Hundreds of eager community members gathered early on Saturday, September 14, for the much-anticipated ribbon-cutting ceremony of Wolf Pack Park, the newest addition to Reeds Spring Schools.
The park, which promises to be a hub for recreation and outdoor activities, currently boasts pickleball courts, tennis courts, walking trails, biking trails, and a youth sports field. Soon, the park will also feature a disc golf course and a playground, further enhancing its appeal.
"This is about kids. The majority of kids spend way too much time on devices, so we wanted to create a space for families to be together and enjoy each other," said Superintendent Dr. Cody Hirschi. "This is a generational project. There will always be a park in Stone County!"
The grand opening was marked by a playful nod to one of its key attractions—a pickleball tournament—alongside a 5K race hosted by the Rotary Club of Table Rock. The pun-filled event was truly a "big dill" for the community, drawing in participants and spectators alike.
Saturday's celebration offered a sneak peek of what's to come. While the park is not yet fully operational, Reeds Spring Schools is putting the final touches on the project, with plans to open it full-time in the coming weeks.
Wolf Pack Park is set to become a cherished space for families, athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts, reflecting the district’s commitment to fostering community and healthy lifestyles. Stay tuned for the official full-time opening, when the park will be ready to welcome everyone in the Reeds Spring area.
