Parks staff report: Park Place saw about 1,200 participants in July; summer programming continues
Summary
Parks presenter Erica reported July activity including about 1,200 participants at Park Place, an art show with the Johns Creek Art Center, a movie night of 'Migration' with roughly 200 attendees, and a police-run 'Battle on the Creek' fundraiser that raised an estimated $35,000 for Special Olympics Georgia.
Erica, Parks staff and the meeting presenter, summarized July programming and attendance across city parks and Park Place. She reported roughly 1,200 participants at Park Place events and said the July 3 Independence Day celebration drew "over 10,000 attendees in the park" including ancillary viewers, and that the Park Place movie night drew about 200 people.
"We did have, 1,200 participants at Park Place," Erica said during the report. She described partnerships with the Johns Creek Art Center for an annual art show and noted a Park Place group toured Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Erica also said the police-run Battle on the Creek — a CrossFit-style fundraiser benefiting Special Olympics Georgia — had about 350 participants and raised "something like $35,000" (staff cautioned the dollar figure is approximate).
Erica previewed fall offerings including the summer concert series, Papa Palooza and a literary fair, and noted staff will continue outreach and programming for older adults and teens (car-care workshops, adaptive bingo, youth JCAT swim competitions).
