City Celebrates Improvements to
Cloverdale Park
The City of Savan
nah held a ribbon cutting
ceremony for improvements
to Cloverdale Park Tuesday.
Dozens of com
munity members and City
staff gathered in the west
Savannah neighborhood off
of Stiles Avenue to cele
brate a new playground and
re-surfacing of the basket
ball court. These were both
possible through the Spe
cial Purpose Local Options
Sales Tax (SPLOST 6).
“Through the part
nerships across the First Dis
trict and in Cloverdale, we
made our SPLOST dollars
work.” said District 1 Al
derman Van Johnson. “This
is a project we knew we
could make happen quickly
because we had those funds
available.”
Cloverdale Park is
5 acres situated adjacent to
the Forest City Library. The
improvements to the play
ground and basketball court
provide recreational activi
ties for the neighborhoods of
Cloverdale, Carver Village
and Laurel Grove.
“The advantage of
tills park is with the library
here, parents can bring their
kids to the park to play, then
take them inside to cool off
and rest,” said Parks and
Recreation Director Barry
Baker.
The improve
ments to Cloverdale Park
align with the priority of
Neighborhood Revitaliza
tion within the Savannah
Forward strategic plan. The
improvements to the park
were made possible by vot
er-approved SPLOST funds.
“The penny does
work, these are SPLOST
projects that are brought
right here in your commu
nity,” said Mayor Pro Tern
Carol Bell. “Cloverdale is
a tightknit community and
you show you love your
community dearly.”
The ceremony was
also attended by Cloverdale
neighborhood President
Curtis Cooper.
