🌳 The Gist: Officials in Gwinnett County have initiated construction of Singleton Park and its accompanying Greenway trailhead to enhance local greenspace.
🔨 The Details: Gwinnett County’s move towards greener horizons took a concrete step forward today with the groundbreaking ceremony for Singleton Park. The project’s blueprint envisions a near 2-acre community haven featuring a multiuse trail spanning three-quarters of a mile, a playground, covered picnic zones, restrooms, and a 41-slot parking lot.
📐 By The Numbers:
- 2 acres: Size of the upcoming park.
- ¾-mile: Length of the multiuse trail.
- 41: Number of parking spaces.
- $2.2 million: State grant for community improvement.
- Late 2025: Expected completion date.
🏞 The Big Picture: This development is a significant stride in the county’s effort to fulfill the 2018 Gwinnett Trails Countywide Trails Master Plan, aiming to connect communities and foster recreational activities.
🚧 What’s Next?: With the financial backing secured, including a mix of state grants, recreation funds, SPLOST program money, and a Community Development Block Grant, the county anticipates the grand opening of Singleton Park to be in late 2025.
