Special to the Record
City leaders held an opening ceremony for the newly redesigned Forsyth Park on Tuesday afternoon.
In 2022, the city began the design process to convert the formerly underused parcel into open space for the community to enjoy.
The park now features a patio with a view, umbrellas and shade trees for cooler temperatures in the summer, native plantings, and an improved drainage system to minimize stormwater runoff.
The project was funded by a grant from the Community Preservation Committee and city funds designated to increase open space. There was a $600,000 total investment in the park.
