Neighborhood class backs Crosland Park park project plan
Kiersten Warfield and Aiken Public Safety member Matthew Braxton outline a class led effort to create two park areas on Croft Street and Arbor Street in Crosland Park. The plan includes a covered pergola, picnic tables, signage, and mulch after area clearance. The December City approval aligns with the Northside Initiative, prioritizing neighborhood safety through community involvement. The project aims for a May ribbon cutting with fundraising led by Craig Brooks at 865 679-7795.
