The City of Meridian hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, October 27 to officially open the second phase of Discovery Park, Meridian’s newest regional park located in south Meridian.
Discovery Park is located at 2121 E. Lake Hazel Road, between Eagle and Locust Grove Roads.
This expansion of Discovery Park, which broke ground in 2022, more than doubles the size of the existing park, bringing its total size to approximately 64 acres.
The park’s new amenities include an Active Area featuring six pickleball courts and two tennis courts dual-striped for pickleball; bocce ball courts; a 40-yard dash challenge; and basketball courts. The park’s Teen Area has a skatepark, a sand volleyball court, hammock poles, and a shelter with WiFi. Additional new attractions include a bike park and pump track; three additional softball fields (two of which will be illuminated); public art pieces and artisan-made benches; picnic shelters; a restroom/concession building; paved walking paths; more than 500 additional parking spaces; and room for a future community garden.
