Darrell Overstreet Nature Boardwalk
The Darrell Overstreet Nature Boardwalk is a newly dedicated natural space located in Jackson, Alabama.
The boardwalk was recently named in memory of Darrell Duane Overstreet, a long-time Jackson resident and dedicated city employee who passed away in 2024. Before his retirement, Overstreet worked for many years in the local timber and pulp industry, then returned to serve the City of Jackson in its maintenance department.
Dedication Ceremony
Date: February 21, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM
Significance: The Jackson City Council officially announced the naming on February 10, 2026, to honor Overstreet’s service to the community.
