A Renaissance for Statesboro park
Gospel fills the air at dedication
051415 RENAISSANCE PARK 01
The centerpiece monument depicting the bell tower of the Bulloch County Courthouse served as a backdrop, as director Darrell Hart leads the Second Saint John Missionary Baptist Church Choir during Thursday's dedication of Renaissance Park.
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.
