World's Fair Park Playground Closed Saturday Afternoon for Bonnyman Ceremony

Posted: 09/25/2015
The playground at World's Fair Park will be closed from 2-6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26, during the memorial ceremony for Lt. Alexander Bonnyman Jr. at the East Tennessee Veterans Memorial.

The fountains in the park will also be reduced to a low level during the observance.

Lt. Bonnyman was killed in the Pacific during World War II. His remains were finally recovered this spring from the Pacific island of Tarawa.

For more information about Lt. Bonnyman and the planned services, see this WBIR report.
