Development Spotlight:
City of Union City Parks
The City of Union City has implemented a 5-year park improvement program which includes more parking, storm drainage improvements, new pavilions, new play areas, and more. As part of this plan, Union City used a site where the city pool was located previously to construct a new state-of-the-art splash pad (pictured to right) and skate park. The facilities are now open and being enjoyed by the community.

I-69 Updates:
According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the section of I-69 that runs
alongside Discovery Park of America from a little northwest of the former Wingfoot Golf Course to Reelfoot Avenue was the first of three projects that encompass the I-69 loop around Union City. The section to the southwest down to US 51 was the second section. Both segments have been completed up to final grading which means they are ready for paving. Currently in the construction phase is the section a little northwest of the former Wingfoot Golf Course to US 45 and US 51 about halfway to Fulton, Ky. TDOT anticipates that all three segments will be completed and paved by fall of 2023. This will open the entire Union City loop. The remainder of the project, including the exchange in Fulton and the section south of Union City all the way to Dyersburg, are currently in various phases of development.
