Year-round recreational activity can be found at the City Park. The 90-acre park, within the city limits, was donated by the Nutter family in 1945. The Christmas Light Display, Halloween Haunted Trail, and Fourth of July celebration are examples of the pride and community spirit of Martinsville citizens. The park was named for Jimmy Nash, (1914-1988) a civic-minded community leader who was the director of fireworks for many years.       Some of the other recreational facilities in the vicinity are the Barbara B. Jordan YMCA, the Martinsville Country Club, Morgan-Monroe State Forest, and the Monroe Reservoir.
