Georgian Hills Park in Brookhaven brings DeKalb new basketball court

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.
