• The Comegys family has offered to donate a 4.072 acre tract of land located on the east side of US 75, immediately north of City owned land near the Community Center.
• These 4 acres have always functioned as City property. The existing park road that leads to the Community Center runs through this piece of property as well as a hike and bike trail that leads to Towne Lake.

• No additional maintenance funds will be needed with this acquisition as the Parks Department has always mowed and maintained the property.
