What a gem! A beautiful setting to feel nature and view the surrounding mountains while you walk or hang out. There is a rock area and stream that runs through the park. It's beautiful. As well as sculptures, as you walk around. The walking is paved and flat. I can't say enough good things about Founders!

Love this park! Its our go to spot for meet n' greets with our foster dogs and potential adopters. 💕 🐾 Very thankful our city has such a beautiful park in the heart of downtown.

I really like this park, it is very serene, it's a full circle path, in the summer it has art sculptures you can admire and christmas it's decorated very nicely with tons of different christmas trees from local businesse owners. What I love the best is the small creek that runs around it. It's just so calming and soothing. Listening to the sound of the water is just perfect. You walk around or bring a book sit in one of the benches, grass, or one of the stones edge by the creek. It's perfect to go have a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants and then take a stroll. It's great for a date night walk or a picnic. It's just lovely.

Johnson City’s Founders Park is a fantastic way to get out and enjoy the amazing Christmas trees. The park is beautiful in itself so this is an added holiday bonus. So if the weather is right and the kids and/or fur kids need to run around, this is the place to go!
