Press Box Planned for Bay Creek Park
Published Feb 7, 2008
The Bay Creek Park football complex will get a press box thanks to a partnership between Gwinnett County and the Grayson Athletic Association (GAA).
District 3 Commissioner Mike Beaudreau said, “We’re happy to partner with the community volunteers of the GAA who work so hard to provide high quality athletic opportunities for the Grayson community.”
The Board of Commissioners accepted the agreement Tuesday. Community Services Director Phil Hoskins said the County would pay half, up to $50,000, of the cost of the new press box, while GAA pays the rest.
The Grayson Athletic Association offers baseball, softball, basketball, football, cheerleading and special-populations sports programs in the Grayson area using County park and school facilities. Bay Creek Park, with 154 acres, opened in the spring of 2004. It includes Gwinnett’s first special-needs ball field and playground along with baseball, softball and football facilities. SPLOST revenues and community fund-raising efforts paid for land acquisition and park development.
