Harmon Park is Kernersvilleā€™s oldest, and most storied park. Nearly all Kernersville natives have a childhood story about Harmon Park. Each memory paints a picture of this parkā€™s significance to Kernersville history. It is named after D.W. Harmon. Harmon Served as the Town Clerk in the 1920ā€™s. Upon his death he bequeathed part of his land to the Town of Kernersville to become its very first town park.

In the spirit of Harmonā€™s original donation to the public, many other town citizens have donated additions to this park over the years. This includes a wedding gazebo donated by Margaret Burks in honor of her husband Leo, the Harmon Linville fountain which honors former town mayor Harmon Linville, and the first Declanā€™s Playground built in honor of Declan Donoghue and his spirit of play.
