BlueCross Healthy Place at David Carnes Park Memphis, TN 38116

"My kids LOVED this playground, but I found broken glass scattered everywhere, blunt wrappers, trash, and obscenities spray painted by the slides. I really hope that it gets cleaned up because it was a really nice built park."

"The park has nice equipment. The people in the community have damaged some of the equipment and the park is still somewhat fairly new. I took my grandson here because he wanted to swing. The element in the park is not conducive to a positive atmosphere for children. There were teenagers and parents smoking Marijuana. This was my first and last time visiting this park. I will continue to visit the parks in Mississippi even though I am a Memphis resident. We can not have or keep anything decent in our community because of the mindset of our community. I pray for a healing in Memphis and our entire nation. In Jesus Christ name. Amen."

"I was in the area for breakfast and decided to take a short stroll. It's a family friendly park with lots of options for children's play. I like walking through many parks and trails in the county. Though it's not one of the better paths I've taken; it's granted a high ranking for the availability of a clean restroom versus a port a potty. It's a new park and I hope the city and visitors maintain its integrity."

"Today, Aug 10, 2019 marked the Grand opening of the Blue Cross Healthy Place at David Carnes Park in the heart of Whitehaven on Whitehaven Lane. What a magnificent addition to the Whitehaven community. The park is simply phenomenal! It's filled with everything from exercise and gym equipment for all ages, to an outdoor splash park, to a mini football and soccer training ground, to a walking trail, track and field area, community pavilion, and on-site restroom facilities. Every aspect of the park is breathtaking. As a Whitehaven resident, we are so very thankful to Blue Cross for sponsoring the park. Kudos to our Whitehaven District 3 Council woman Patrice Robinson for her tireless work in the Whitehaven community and thanks to Mayor Strickland and the entire city council for approving the Blue Cross Healthy Place project in Whitehaven. We value the work and efforts of all the people who worked to bring this project to completion. I pledge to do my part to keep our park as beautiful tomorrow as it is today! 5 STARS *****"
