City Eyes Former Sells Park Land For Recreation Use
Athens officials discuss reacquiring the 26 acre Sells Park site at Avon Place from the federal government for a nominal $1 and integrating it with existing shelters and a lake. The city also plans to develop Highland Avenue land with courts or a small diamond, aided by a bulldozer and blacktop. Phi Delta Theta members aided Highland Avenue cleanup and Crystal Pool flood repairs. The city recreation fund totals about $3000, with potential use of income tax money. additional park land near W State and a 38 acre lease to Athens State Hospital are under consideration, plus a 16 acre softball and picnic area proposal by the Junior Chamber.
