About

This small park on the Flint River is home to a musical dedication to the “King of Soul” Ray Charles.

A fountain sits in the middle with a statue of Charles and his piano. Visitors can hear his music play along with the sound of the water from the fountain. The entire park has a musical theme, the walkway is a piano keyboard, and musical notes along with piano keys are places to sit.
