Kenneth & Mary King Pocket Park

The plaque at this Hardy City Park reads:

This park is dedicated to the memory of Kenneth and Mary King and their son, Circuit Judge Kevin King, in honor of their numerous contributions to the community and in recognition of the King family’s donation of this land for the enjoyment of the people of Hardy.

The King Family were instrumental in the development of Sharp County in the second half of the Twentieth Century, both as principals of the King Agency and, later, King Rhodes Real Estate and for their deep engagement in the community, particularly in youth programs.
