Founding Mother's, Fathers, Grandmothers and Grandfathers
In Fall 2014, we asked the community to band together to help us reach a phase one goal of $90,800 and prove the Children's Park of Georgia was needed and wanted. We were thrilled by the overwhelming support for this very special park. The goal was met and surpassed! We were so encouraged by the many emails, phone calls and messages of what the park will mean to people.
We would like to extend a very sincere thank you to these wonderful mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers who have supported the vision for the Children's Park of Georgia from the very beginning. The following park founders will forever be recognized on a special thank you monument in the Children's Park of Georgia. They will also receive special discounts for naming opportunities and recognition at our grand opening ceremony. Thank you for making this all possible.
