Seaborn Jones Memorial Park, Public park in Downtown Rockmart, Georgia.
Seaborn Jones Memorial Park stretches along Euharlee Creek in downtown Rockmart, offering multiple pavilions, a gazebo, and shaded walking trails beneath old oak trees. The grounds include BBQ facilities and restrooms, making it functional for gatherings of all sizes.
Originally known as Wayside Park, the grounds were renamed in 2002 to honor Seaborn Jones for donating land to the community. This change reflected the community's appreciation for his contribution to creating public gathering space.
The park hosts the Homespun Festival each July, where visitors can explore local crafts, listen to Southern Gospel Music, and join community celebrations. This event brings neighbors together to share traditions and handmade goods in a relaxed outdoor setting.
The park is open daily and features four pavilions with BBQ facilities for visitors planning outdoor activities or picnics. The walking paths are easy to navigate on foot, making them suitable for families or anyone seeking a relaxed walk by the creek.
The park served as a filming location for the movie Irresistible, with scenes shot along the natural landscape of Euharlee Creek. The creek and surrounding shade became part of the film's visual backdrop for key moments.
