Gwinnett County has accepted a $30,691 donation from the Brookwood Athletic Association for improvements to the seven youth baseball/softball fields at Bethesda Park in Lawrenceville.

The Association runs youth baseball and softball programs at the park. Its donation will help fund drainage and infield-surface improvements, new bases and home plates, and other repairs. The contractor is expected to complete the project in time for the spring season.

The 159-acre park, at 225 Bethesda Church Road, features three adult sports fields, a football/multi-purpose field with lighted walking track, six soccer fields, a senior recreation center, indoor shuffleboard court, indoor aquatic center, playgrounds, pavilions, outdoor basketball courts and horseshoe pit and 1.5 miles of paved multipurpose trails.
