Roswell Parks Brought City Shine by Visionary Leaders
The Roswell park system grew from a mayoral vision begun by Dr. George Veal and expanded under John W. Hall with support from the city council. Cahoon Park, Hall Park, Moore Park, Haymaker Park, Lovelace Park and Cahoon's golf course reflect WPA era development, aided by bank loans and community effort, now maintained at about $7,500 yearly.
