When the 1870s mansion of Victorian property magnate James Maynard was demolished n the 1950s, the city took over the extensive grounds surrounding it and created this park. The estate's former swimming pool is now a pond, while the archery lawn has been replaced by the Maynardville Open-Air Theatre.
