A reflective memorial features a bronze statue of a young soldier entitled “Going Home” sculpted by Jonestown resident Jim Thomas. This soldier, who has served his country, waits in anticipation of his ride to return home to his loved ones.

Veteran’s Memorial Park. Shelby Thomas was the model for the statue, “Coming Home” and he and his father, Jim Thomas worked together to craft the beautiful work of art. Sadly, Shelby recently passed. When the local VFW closed its doors they used their remaining money to hire Jim Thomas, renowned sculptor who lives in Jonestown to do the sculpture.
Fireman’s Park

Originally the park was created and built by the Jonestown Volunteer Fire Department and was the scene for their annual Labor Day Bar-B-Q fund raiser.
After acquiring the park, Jonestown has improved it and added a connection to Jones Brothers Park through the Canyonlands Trail.
There is a pet waste station at the entrance of the Canyonlands Trail in Fireman’s Park.
