Brook Run Park
By Ken Wright, President, Dunwoody Homeowners Association, Inc.

We are optimistic that the public will see activity late this fall as construction of the “Children’s Adventure Garden” at Brook Run Park begins! DeKalb County Parks & Recreation is close to selecting the contractor out of the bids submitted. Completion of this exciting cornerstone to Brook Run Park is scheduled for late Spring 2005.

To address another popular feature of the Brook Run Master Plan, DeKalb County Parks and Recreation is in the design phase for a “Skate Board Park” which will be located adjacent to the “Children’s Adventure Garden.” Funds for this project were designated by Commissioner Elaine Boyer and approved unanimously by the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners.

The Brook Run Advisory Committee is taking action to form the “Brook Run Conservancy,” a nonprofit 501(c)3 enterprise to work in concert with DeKalb County Parks and Recreation in a public-private partnership. The primary objective of the Conservancy will be to raise funds needed to implement the full scope of the Brook Run Master Plan designed by EDAW and unanimously approved by DeKalb Board of Commissioner’s and CEO Vernon Jones in January 2003.

The Dunwoody Homeowners Association and The Dunwoody Preservation Trust have been instrumental in helping DeKalb County revitalize this wonderful facility for the enjoyment of all the citizens of our County.
