About us

In 1996, Signal Mountain resident and pediatrician, Dr. Jane Jones and a collection of dedicated parents realized the need for a shaded, natural and centrally located playground on top of Signal Mountain. The group rallied and inspired the entire community to take action through fundraising efforts which raised nearly $200,000 and utilizing volunteer labor to hand build the playground in just a five short days! There perseverance and commitment to this play space has provided endless benefit for multiple generations in and around our community.

The dream of building something that would encourage kids to climb high, run far and slide big while exploring the natural mountain landscape and fresh air of the great outdoors is and remains the vision of the Pumpkin Patch Playground.

Now, more than twenty five years later, The Pumpkin Patch attracts visitors from all over the region for its reputation for enriching family fun! 

We hope you enjoy our play space as much as we do!

Imagine, Create, Play and Have Fun!
