“Midway Park was originally constructed in 1982 and is the 2nd oldest park in Forsyth County,” said Parks & Recreation Director Jim Pryor.

“Through the years, it has received capital updates to portions of the property, but I am excited that this upgrade brings the upper baseball complex to current standards as well as a new playground and pavilion that will keep families coming for generations to come.”

Improvements and additions to the park include:

• New inclusive and accessible playground
• Laser grading and new sod on diamond fields
• New batting cages and bullpens
• New Pavilion with seating for 36
• New flooring and interior/exterior paint for Community Building
• Repaved and leveled park entrance and upper parking area
• Sealed and restriped lower parking area

The budget for the refurbishment was $3.13M and funding was provided by SPLOST VIII. The project consultant was Woolpert Design, and the contractor was Diversified Construction.
