Court Square Park (formerly Jackson Park and Justice Park) is a public park in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Court Square Park is 0.4 acres bounded by Jefferson Street, Fourth Street N.E., High Street and the Albemarle County Court Building.[1] Paul Goodloe McIntire established the park in 1919 by donating the land to the city of Charlottesville.[1]

The park was originally named Jackson Park after Confederate general Stonewall Jackson.[2] A statue of Jackson on horseback, Thomas Jonathan Jackson, was placed there in 1921.[2]

In November 2016 the Blue Ribbon Commission on Race, Memorials and Public Spaces published a report recommending transforming the statue into a monument for remembering racial oppression and to change the name from Jackson Park.[3][4] In June 2017, the city council voted to change the name to Justice Park,[5] and in July 2018, the name was changed again to Court Square Park.[6]

The statue was removed on July 10, 2021.[7]
