In 2021, the City accepted donation of this waterfront property from the descendants of Charlie Thebaut and Allweather Tire Company and named the park "Thebaut Sisters Landing."
Charles Reginald Thebaut, Jr. was born on January 22, 1895, in Jacksonville, Florida, to Charles and Rose Thebaut. Charles left his job as a clerk for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in 1917 and served in the United States Army until the end of World War I. Upon his return to Jacksonville, he became a travelling salesperson for Goodyear and eventually opened multiple tire dealerships throughout Northeast Florida. In 1924, he married Josephine Isabelle Neal, and they had three daughters, Barbara Jo “Ty” Thebaut, Sharlie “Sister” Thebaut Dutton, and Mary Ellen Thebaut Lanahan, all of whom joined the family tire business, Allweather Tire Company. Charles Reginald Thebaut, Jr. died in 1980; Allweather Tire Company closed in 1990.
As a native of Jacksonville, Charles Reginald Thebaut, Jr. was a lifelong promoter of his hometown. He served as chair of St. Vincent’s Medical Center lay advisory board, president of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association, president of the National Tire Dealers Association, a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International, founding member of the Gator Bowl board of directors, and founder of the University of Florida Gator Boosters.
In the 1970s, Charlie Thebaut purchased five lots at the southeast corner of Heckscher Drive and Browns Creek for his family to enjoy time on the St. Johns River. His descendants donated the property to the City of Jacksonville in 2021 for all to enjoy. The park is now available to the public for fishing and launching kayaks and paddleboards.
