Thompson Park - Hardy, Ar. - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

This small pocket park is located at Main and Johnston Streets. The park contains public restrooms, a gazebo, benches, and landscaping. It's a really nice place to stop and rest while shopping along Main Street. The park is named for Audrey Thompson, who was instrumental in getting buildings in Hardy named to the National Register. The text on the Marker reads:
