A ribbon-cutting ceremony as held, Friday, Oct. 11, for the completion of Maxfield Park.

The vision of Maxfield Park came from a local musician, Danny Dozier (pictured above, holding scissors), who has worked tirelessly in creating Maxfield Park along with others that have lended their hand to help with masonry, electrical, plumbing, and anything else needed, the Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce said in a release.

Each section of Maxfield Park recycled artifacts from all over Batesville, from the circle stones from the old Mickey Mouse pool to old playground equipment from Riverside Park and rocks from the bayou.

Maxfield Park is open for everyone to enjoy the meditation garden, waterfall, and native stone landscaping. To learn more about Maxfield Park, please contact Batesville Parks and Recreation at (870) 612-2400.
