The children’s playground at Georgetown Park will soon become a lot cooler, even during the summer months. The city has approved the installation of shade structures over the playground.

The playground shade structures will be similar to those currently installed at Brook Run Park Children’s Adventure Garden. Shade structure installation began this month and is expected to be complete by the end of July. The city began construction on Georgetown Park in April 2013 and celebrated its opening in May 2014.

Earlier this month Dunwoody and DeKalb County officials celebrated a groundbreaking on the grounds of the city’s newest park. Located at Pernoshal Court, the park will be approximately five acres and will be the largest newly-built park created since incorporation of the city.

Construction continues through the summer and should conclude in the fall.
