Gene Kleiner Day

Gene Kleiner Day honors the generosity of the day’s namesake who donated the 60-acres, and the $25 million to develop Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park. Gene made the donation in honor of his late father, Julius, who once farmed the land on which the park now sits and operated until Julius’s passing in 1972. The City of Meridian celebrates Gene Kleiner Day annually on the second Saturday of June.

Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park

Located at 1900 N. Records Avenue in Meridian. The 60-acre park is situated behind The Village at Meridian at the corner of Eagle Road and Fairview. The park boasts 3.3 miles of walking paths, a growing tree arboretum, two fishing ponds, a labyrinth, the Rock of Honor Veterans Memorial, a bandshell, 5 picnic shelters, a community garden, a full spectrum of youth play equipment, basketball and pickleball courts, an outdoor gym, and a splash pad.

Meridian Symphony Orchestra

We are pleased to welcome the Meridian Symphony Orchestra for a free concert at 4:00 pm in the Kleiner Park Bandshell. The MSO will perform a variety of toe-tapping songs that are sure to bring a smile to your face. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating in the outdoor amphitheater. Outside food and beverages are welcome, so break out that picnic basket but note, glass containers are not allowed in the park.
