Jackson Park Jackson Park consists of 0.4 acres and
includes all of the property bordered
by Jefferson Street, Fourth Street
N.E., High Street and the Albemarle
County Court Building. This property,
once known as "McKee's Row", was deeded
to the City by Paul Goodloe McIntire in
1919 to be used as a park. A narrow
lane which once ran between the County
Court Building and the park property
was called McKee's Lane. A large
equestrian monument of Thomas
Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, by
Charles Keck, is the focal point of the
park. The monument was presented by Mr.
McIntire as a gift to the city in 1921
and is ranked as one of the three best
equestrian statues in the world. The
park also contains well-maintained
flowerbeds and a number of benches.
Jackson Park, as well as Lee Park, is
part of the Virginia Civil War Trails.
Both parks also host the annual
Governor Jefferson's Thanksgiving
Festival with Revolutionary era re-
enactments and displays. Dogs must be
kept on-leash. Park hours are 6AM to
9PM.
