It was a beautiful day in District 2 celebrating the grand opening of Singleton Park and Greenway in unincorporated Norcross! What was once the Singleton Road Activity Building has been reimagined into a vibrant space where our community can gather, play, and connect. Thanks to support from our state, federal, and local partners — including SPLOST and vital grant funding — we turned vision into reality. We also were proud to parter with Art in Motion for the installation of the mural which serves as the backdrop for the new playground. Singleton Park and Greenway is more than a park; it’s a promise fulfilled and a reflection of our commitment to inclusive growth and ensuring every resident has access to safe, beautiful spaces to enjoy.
