Coehadjoe Park was named after King Coe Hadjo who was a Seminole Chief in this area around 1820. Coe Hadjo’s village was on the west side of Indian Prairie, north of Anthony-Burbank Road. There were approximately 450 white Seminole Indians who lived in this village. In the Muscogee language, the letter “e” is pronounced “a,” so the name sounds like Co-a Had-jo. The translation is “wild-cat.” Coe Hadjo was about 35 years old when he lived here. On the north side of Indian Lake Prairie, there is an Indian burial ground. There is also a larger midden that dates farther back than the 1820s. This area is rich with Native American history, as numerous villages and forts were constructed. 

 

Today, Coehadjoe Park is home to a Born Learning Trail (courtesy of Success by 6), a nature themed play area, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, racquetball courts, volleyball courts, picnic pavilions, & walking trails.

 

Pavilions are available for private group functions including birthday parties & corporate outings.
