Mountain Park is an unincorporated community located in the Bryan Township of western Surry County, North Carolina. The community's unique name is derived from its "mountain location in a park-like setting."[1] Notable old-time musician and luthier Johnny Gentry is from Mountain Park. The most notable event is the annual Mountain Park Independence Day Celebration[2] that is hosted by the Mountain Park Ruritan Club, which attracts between 1,000-3,000 annually.
