The City of Lyons was honored to meet with The Hill Climbers at Lyons Community Church to share updates on the many projects taking place throughout our city.
As many know, since Hurricane Helene, much has changed. While the storm reshaped parts of our community, we have remained committed to coming back stronger and that work is well underway.
At Partin Park, improvements include rebuilding the Big Green Monster as a metal structure designed to better withstand future storms, adding additional parking, removing dangerous trees, leveling areas at the upper deck playground, and removing the damaged concession stand near Field 4. We are also constructing a new 12-stall public restroom adjacent to the Birthday House. In addition, 20 AI-powered and access cameras are being installed at both Partin Park and Vincent Faison Park to enhance safety.
Following Hurricane Helene, the City Gym was lost and will be torn down soon, and demolition of the Callaway Center is already in progress. Our City Council has been intentional about ensuring that what we rebuild will better serve our community for generations to come.
We also shared updates on Vincent Faison Park, where new playground equipment is being installed, pickleball courts are coming soon, and progress continues on the community center. We look forward to hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the near future.
Main Street was also highlighted, as our Community Development Director, Jessica Barfield, shared exciting upcoming events including Tales of the Altamaha and more Live Nights in Lyons featuring music at the Society 304 Gardens. We encourage everyone to stop by the Main Street office to learn more about upcoming events and ways to get involved.
