I have been looking forward to this park as a resident of North Fayette County. Now, I can save time and gas instead of traveling to Peachtree City, etc. I pray Fayette police will do their jobs. Thank you Fayette County for a park closer to home to take my dogs for a nice walk.

what happened here? I can't figure it out why this park was built the way it was. Were the original land owners good friends of those on the county commission at the time? Is that why they choose this site? Or was there some sort of extortion scheme going on? Were there groups claiming, "build this park here, or else..." (whatever that may be)

Anyone else have any ideas? Those are the only two explanations I could come up with to try to understand such A STUPID DECISION.

From a purely geographical standpoint, why would you build the county's "largest, costliest park" in the northernmost section of the county? This is the approx location of the park Map . Im pretty sure that little river there on the map is border with Clayton. Point South is within less than a mile of this park. Has anyone driven through Point South lately? WOW, it is scary and unfortunate that this place is so close to home.

A normal sized park in the northern area of Fayette County would be fine and justified. But why does it have to be the largest and most expensive?! I would bet that nearly, if not more than, 70% of Fayette County citizens will never set foot in this park. and realistically, there is not much I can do to prevent this monumental mistake from continuing. Ugh

Originally, the cost of the park was pegged at $2.5 million.

Godbee said that was the latest cost estimates provided from the consultant, and the first phase would cost $3.7 million, while the next two phases would cost $2.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Hey Dunn, Pfeifer & Wells.... Thanks a lot for this tax expenditure you stuck us taxpayers with. Heck, it's no wonder Eric and the boys had to raise our taxes. And you've got the nerve to portray yourselves as fiscal conservatives? You guys are shameless.

including a bocce ball court, a racquetball court and a horseshoe pit.

At least you had the sense to cut these venues out. People from Clayton and South Fulton don't play these games. All you had to do was provide them with a couple of hoops and some walls to spray graffiti on.

Godbee explained that part of the cost overrun on the project, which was the difference between the actual cost and the initial engineering estimates, was largely due to the Georgia DOT requiring a turn lane that was unexpected.

Godbee...YOU'RE FIRED! What kind of idiots do you take us for? If you think we're so stupid as to buy that line then you need to just get the hell out of Fayette County once and for all.

A side question for John Thompson. Were you able to keep a straight face when Godbee fed you that line? Again that sounds like Rick Price trying to tell me years ago that the fountain came at no cost to the taxpayers.

On Oct. 6, the public is invited to attend the opening

I'll be the one manning the booth and taking bets as to how long it takes for the thugs to spray paint art onto the plaque that will commemorate the commissioners that stuck us with this huge tax increase. I'm betting that inside of 60 days we'll see LawBelowAll at the park with a wire brush scrubbing off the white paint that covers his name.

As for me and my family..... we'll just pay for it and not hang out there.

It's just about the right size for a Rap music festival.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I did graduate from FCHS so math is not my strongest subject. Three years ago the project that was "pegged" at $2.5 million now has increased to over $10 million, a 300% increase, for a turn lane. My bet is that turn lane runs all the way to both Fulton and Clayton counties. Thank you county commissioners for this wonderful investment, can I interest you in a tennis center for sale in PTC?
