Brookhaven has set aside more than $200,000 for small park improvement projects before the end of the year, according to a press release from the city.
“We want to make small, meaningful improvements to our parks that park users can take advantage of almost immediately,” District 1 Council Member Rebecca Chase Williams said in the release. “Last week we planted more than 3,000 bulbs and flowers in every park. We hope these upcoming projects will make our parks more enjoyable for everyone.”
