Jerry Ivey Park

Acquiring the land from U.S.D. #305 in 1974, construction on the 23.8  acre park didn’t start until 1978. The park was dedicated to the  memory of Jerry Ivey, a Salina police officer slain in the line of duty in  1975. Adjacent to Salina High School South at Magnolia Road and  Ohio Street, the open space park area provides four lighted tennis  courts, picnic shelters, playground equipment, sand volleyball,  basketball court, and an excellent walking or jogging area. This park  also features an accessible playground designed for the enjoyment of all  children regardless of physical ability. In 1995 the large gazebo  originally located in Oakdale Park was moved to Ivey and development  of the center section of the park with a water feature, stream and spray  fountain provides an excellent backdrop for weddings, receptions, concerts, etc.
