Proposal For Foundation Park In Fairhope Announced

 The Fairhope/Point Clear Community Foundation, an affiliate of The Community Foundation of South Alabama, has announced a proposal to partner with the City of Fairhope to construct a new public park and splashpad to be known as Foundation Park. The park will occupy a 1.6-acre lot at the historic Anna T. Jeanes School property at the intersection of Twin Beech Road and Section Street. Foundation Park aims to meet the needs of underserved youth and families in the community. The Foundation will provide funding for the project, while the City of Fairhope will continue to own and maintain the property. The park will be constructed in phases. In Phase One, the foundation will contribute $100,000 for fencing, landscaping, utilities and signage. In Phase Two, through a fundraising campaign, the foundation intends to provide $400,000 to the city for the construction of a rest of the park and the splashpad.
