Elmo Funk Memorial Park

Built: 1973

Funk Park was developed in 1973 after Thomas C. Funk donated the land to the City of Anderson in memory of his father, Elmo Funk. The elder Funk was a city engineer and a long-time civic leader. The passive park, featuring a large gazebo, brick path, and water fountain, serves as a focal point in the neighborhood, providing enjoyment to area residents and visitors. A variety of trees and flowers enhance the beautiful setting, which is often used as a backdrop for weddings and small engagements.
