Thatcher Park was named after A.J. Thatcher in 1966. Thatcher served as superintendent of the recreation division and was appointed director of the parks department by the mayor from 1956-1963. In the early 1970s, the existing Thatcher Community Center, located at Grande Avenue and Cossell Road, was in the way of the expanding needs of Allison Transmission. As a result, efforts were made to relocate Thatcher Park nearby. In 1974, the award-winning A.J. Thatcher building (Thatcher Family Center) and park were opened on 21.9 acres at 4649 West Vermont Street. The center offers sports fields, parking, a full gym, activity room, office space, and a unique indoor deep diving and instructional pool.
A new playground at Thatcher Park was completed in the summer of 2026.
