Plans move forward with improvements to Gary Pirkle Park in Sugar Hill

This SPLOST-funded project includes a large area of synthetic turf, with 3 soccer fields (full-size; U10 and U8), new field lighting, site lighting, and new perimeter trails. Environmental permitting has already been completed through the Corps of Engineers.
