In the far Northeast corner of Fayette County, right on the Clayton County Line.

There are a couple of parks in PTC which are located on the boundary with Coweta County. So what? You put the parks where you can afford the land and near our citizens, and this one is where it is needed for our county at this time. Should we put up a border fence to keep non-residents out?

any chance you know the road name?

From Fayetteville, go north on GA 85. Turn left onto GA 279 between the QuikTrip and the BP stations. Go about 1/2 mile and cross over Kenwood Road, where there is a church over to the left. Go about another 100 yards from there and you will see the new park entrance on your right.

What a great place for fayette county to build a park for clayton county

Just listen for the "thump-thump-thump" of thug-rap music - you will find it.

I've lived in North Fayette for 30 years. When my kids were growing up, we were forced to make the trips down Redwine Road and to McDonough Road for baseball and soccer, as there were no parks in our area. We still have to drive some distance to get our kids to middle school and high school in Tyrone.

We and others in North Fayette have paid taxes for all that time and have received proportionately much less in return, as other parts of the county have benefited from our tax money. I assure you that the cost of this park has been more than paid for with tax dollars that have been and will continue to be collected from those who will use it.

This park is long overdue for our area. The fact that it is overbudget and under expectations is something that is not the responsibility of the citizens in this area and still leaves us short on needed facilities, meaning more trips down Redwine, etc. until the next phases are completed.

I have no problem knowing that the blacks in our area will take care of the facility. Most of them live in better houses and likely make more money than many of us who have been here longer. If you have a concern about crime and drugs, it shouldn't be with these folks. I might understand concern about those who ruined parks in Clayton County, but that should be a matter of enforcement rather than a matter of attacking our county's citizens.

But, this is not a park simply for blacks, as you might believe. It's a park for my family and me and all Fayette families without regard to race. It's very much appreciated, but is long past due and should not be begrudged by people in other parts of the county who benefited from our tax money for decades.

In fact, you are welcome to come enjoy it as we expect to enjoy it. It also might show you, as we have seen, that the families in this area are decent and responsible. They are deserving of the park and deserving of the trust to care for something that we have long missed and want to protect for the long-term health and recreation needs in the area and for future families.

last night your park had 28 cars
19 had clayton co. tags

5 fay co.
the rest i could not read because of the tag fame
or the pay here tag on the back (I bet that is clayton also)

shadowalker

This weekend, I decided to do my own census of license tags. I went through the park right after dark and there were no cars at all there.

Well, Shadowalker, you were in the park long enough to inventory the auto tags. During that time, did anyone come up to your car asking to clean your windshield or to sell you drugs? Were you attacked or your hubcaps stolen? If not, it sounds safe enough for me. If anything, I would be worried for the people playing in the park coming face-to-face with you.

BTW, the sign at the entrance to the park says that the park closes at dusk. (Which is confusing since it has lights.) If you went at night, why did you enter the park when the sign at the entrance specifically said that the park was closed? You're right about one thing, there was one lawbreaker there that night...the person who went in late.

If you don't like the park, maybe you should meet your friends and conduct your business at the Pavilion or in Pike County. (See today's lead article.)

That article shows that Clayton County cars can go more than one mile across the county line. That means that "they" could destroy the park at McDonough Road and Hwy 54 near the Clayton County line just as easily as the new park. But, that park has been around for years, and "they" haven't ruined it.

Maybe your alarms and predictions are based upon your prejudices rather than knowledge about our residents and their desires to maintain the park. As for me, I appreciate the park, plan to use it regularly, and expect it to remain in good shape for years to come. I guess you'll just have to keep moving further south to get away from "them."

garbage in garbage in, oh and by the way i consider anytime after 5pm as last night or in the evening it was not dusk yet when i was there
also the other park you refer to if you knew anything, had major issues for years for drugs, to porn to vagrants, at one point the lawenforcement would watch it from the fay co. water system office
so get your facts right before you ply your trade of let the have it
its not that bad type of wyning, it will be
and maybe no cars were there when you went because they knew you were coming
pow
shadowalker

Shadowalker, the park that you mention is still there and in good shape. If you had made your prediction about it like you did Kenwood and we visited that park today, then you would have been shown wrong, like you will twelve months from now about Kenwood. It seems that you're wishing for problems.

ok YOU JUST KEEP ON THINKING THAT
you will be the first one mugged by one of those clayton county gangs
that will be overwhelming that park

just keep on thinking all the nice things
maybe when your slapped in the face at knife or gun point you will grow up
even the blacks i work with that live in clayton are laughing at your comment. they are the ones that are saying give it 12 months

the blacks from clayton

we have seen shirts that say (we took riverdale fay is next)
grow up

shadowalker

Shadowalker, the blacks who work with you probably found that it is easier and safer to humor you than to pick a fight with a bigot. I'm not any more worried about my security in the new park than I am in the "safe" parks on Redwine and McDonough Roads. Cars with Clayton County tags are capable of driving to all of them. Just tell me which park you visit and I'll probably be more careful in that one.

said and congratulations on your new park. As mom would have said of Like It Is
"consider the source".
