J.F. Gregory Park’s improved playground opened June 26 with help from local officials and kids.

 The playground received several upgrades including new sunshades, benches and an updated swing set.

 Two new pieces of playground equipment have been installed, including an inclusive orbit for children with disabilities. 

This project cost $165,000 and funded by SPLOST VII revenue.

 A local girl scout troop petitioned the city last year to make the park more inclusive.
