Taylorsville City Park
Taylorsville owns and maintains an excellent city park on Moore Street behind City Hall.
The park features a 1/8 mile long paved walking track that winds through a pecan grove. LED security lighting was added several years ago which provides great light for those who like to get their jog in early in the morning or late at night. The centerpiece of the park is a brick stage complete with electricity and water hookups nearby. The stage is available for concert performances by request only. |
