Thursday’s dedication of Renaissance Park on Statesboro’s west side took on the feel of a gospel revival as residents celebrated the Bulloch County Historical Society’s commitment to making the park a vibrant part of the community once again. Located at the intersection of West Jones Ave. and Parker St., people in attendance kept cool with hand-held fans as they stood in the shade of the park’s hardwoods. “This is a wonderful occasion for me because this is a real ‘Renaissance’ for this park,” said Virginia Anne Waters, executive director of the Historical Society.
