James A. Ayers, Sr. Amphitheatre
The beautiful new amphitheatre donated by the
Ayers family in honor of James Ayers, Sr., a
businessman and community volunteer, sits on the
top of the hill near the large rotary shelter in
the park. Mr. Ayers was a highly regarded
businessman. “I hear the same things over and
over when people speak of him, ‘he was quiet,
kind and thoughtful, and generous with his
time’” says Mary Hess, Community Park Board “If
I mention his name, I get the same reaction from
everyone. The Ayers family have given a
beautiful legacy to honor a great father,
wonderful husband and well regarded community
leader”. Tiered lawn seating allows guests
to relax and enjoy a concert or play, with
natural acoustics and a wonderful view of the
park. Sidewalks, handicapped parking, lighting
and electricity make the amphitheatre a great
venue for local events.
