The city of Brookhaven cut the ribbon Thursday to celebrate improvements to Georgian Hills Park.

In September 2017, construction began for the 3.6-acre neighborhood park, which now includes an open field with Bermuda turf, an irrigation system and a walking trail. The improvements also include a playground, picnic shelter and an outdoor basketball half-court.

The improvements that have been finished are only part of the first phase of construction.

The park is located at 2800 East Georgian Drive.
