Jean Cole Park
-
Jean Cole Park, a ¼ acre triangular “pocket park” is located at the intersections of Broadway, Eel River Avenue, and 2nd Street. It is a very simple park with an Italian marble water fountain, landscaped with hydrangea bushes, cotoneaster bushes, and landscaped evergreens. There is no turf within the park, but pink & black rock covering the ground surface. Annual flowers that are also “downtown flowers” are annually placed in barrels within and on the sidewalk surrounding the raised area. A hose bib is available on site for watering vegetation and adding water to the fountain. Only a paver walkway and step allow for public access to the water fountain.

Jean Cole Park was named for Jean Cole, who still makes her mark on our community today. Jean Cole has made her life’s personal mission to beautify the City of Logansport through flowers and art. She has done this work for many years, starting back into the 1980’s. Jean is a well-loved fixture of the City of Logansport, and this tribute is small compared to her passion for beauty. The City of Logansport’s Christmas Tree was in this spot until it was ravaged by disease and insects. When that tree was removed, 'Logan's Landing, the local Main Street organization, raised the funds, and installed the Italian marble fountain and its landscaping. It has been in this location since 2008.
