Hello Friends and Neighbors,

Thank you all for your valuable participation and input concerning the installation of the playground at Rutledge Park. As a result of input from the community and subsequent review and input from the Friends of Rutledge Park Playground Committee and Executive Committee, below is the modified playground scheme. This is the most efficient and economical design solution given our community input, design parameters, space available, and budget. Paige Singer, Project Manager of Dekalb County Parks and Recreation, will be going forward with design activities predicated on this playground scheme.

Sincerely,

Tim Ralston
Chairman/Project Manager

The Rutledge Park Community Awareness Group is always looking for news ways to spread the word about Rutledge Park.

This autumn, “Tulip – The Tree Spirit of Rutledge Park” was designed and submitted to be a part of the Atlanta Botanical Gardens “Scarecrows in the Park” exhibit. There, she was on display for the month of October and was awarded Honorable Mention for the “Staff’s Choice Award.”

Now, Tulip has come home to Rutledge Park on Saturday, November 16. She will be displayed at the park’s entryway for everyone to admire.

A special thank you to Emily Franze, Kitty MacFarlane, and Suzanne Ledoux for the creative contributions to this fun project, which helped bring Tulip to life.
