Located on Lake Cherokee in the Heart of the Piney Woods of East Texas

Lake Cherokee Freedom Park

Our Story

Most Lake Cherokee residents and shareholders would agree that fortune has smiled on us, and that we live in a magical place.  We also know that the bigger picture is that the freedoms and privileges of Lake Cherokee, and East Texas, and the United States, was fought for by men and women who are mostly nameless to us.

How can we express our gratitude?

Lake Cherokee’s Freedom Park will attempt to honor these individuals.

Your support is needed to create a lasting monument to military service men and women, and their families, who have endured separation from loved ones; disruptions in education and career; wounds in physical and mental health; and the ultimate sacrifice.

Freedom Park has 3 main purposes:

First, to honor all veterans who are important to the residents of Lake Cherokee.

Second, to acknowledge the families and friends of veterans who have sacrificed in their own ways.

Third, to represent our dedication and support to our current fighting force. It is our way of thanking them as they leave their loved ones and friends. And, letting them know that when they return, they have a home in a place like Lake Cherokee.

At that time, Friends of FFP will subsume management of funds, activities, and projects related to Freedom Park.
