Groundbreaking Ceremony For the New Ballfields at Brook Run Park

This announcement was distributed at about 6 PM today.  I've reproduced it here unedited.



Groundbreaking Ceremony For the New Ballfields at Brook Run Park

Friday September 15, 2017
12:00 p.m.
Southwest Corner of North Peachtree Road and Barclay Drive

The ceremonial groundbreaking event will celebrate the beginning of construction for the new ballfields at Brook Run Park.

Please join City of Dunwoody Council members, city partners, and city staff for the celebratory event.

The two new fields, which will also serve as the new home for Dunwoody Senior Baseball, will have rectangular multi-purpose field overlay/striping complete with a durable all-season synthetic turf. The fields will be set-up for shared use by Peachtree Charter Middle School for the school’s gym and outdoor classes. The facility will also include a new concession building, new bathrooms, a playground, bleacher stands, batting cages, and parking. 

The fields will be located at the corner of North Peachtree Road and Barclay Drive, an eight acre property adjacent to Peachtree Charter Middle School. A new bus turnaround and drop off with ADA access and handicap parking will also be included at the new site.

A lunch will be served for attendees following the groundbreaking celebration.

PARKING: Please park at Brook Run Park by the pavilion (about midway down South Georgia Way in Brook Run Park) and then walk towards the multi-use trail/Barclay Drive where there is a crosswalk which leads to a paved access road/fire lane onto the site.

SDOC recovering from Tropical Storm Irma

Just work-related info for today.

Irma's dirty side came through Metro Atlanta yesterday and power went out in our neighborhood at 2:30.  Power just got back up 90 minutes ago.

SDOC's studio suffered no damage but work scheduled have been shifted due to the outage.  (This is the "Acts of God" clause in your contracts, folks.)  We're getting our home and helping our community get back to normal in time for work and school tomorrow.

I'll be in touch with each of you with specific new ETA's for any scheduled jobs.

Help each other through the storm damage and we'll all be better off, and soon.

Dunwoody Homeowners Association Meeting September 10

What's left of Irma is supposed to come to town Monday afternoon.  We're taking care of business Sunday night.  DHA meetings are open to the public.  Please come be part of the conversation.
