County approves recreation master plan
Proposed large central park facility is centerpiece of 15-year outlook
0128 central park plan
A look at how the central park facility proposed for land off Highway 21 and Ralph Rahn Road might be laid out. The phases call for nine baseball and softball fields, a gymnasium and soccer and football fields, along with parking and playgrounds.
With the land in hand to build a large, central recreation facility, the Effingham County commissioners also have signed off on a 15-year master plan for the county’s recreation needs. CHA Sports presented the master plan, which has been under development by the recreation board and county officials, and the new central park is at the core of its recommendations. “I’m as happy as we can be,” said commission Chairman Wendall Kessler.
