The flood ravaged Riverside Park, know now as the old
recreation department is being slowly brought back to life.
According to the Heard County Commissioner's Office, the
park will go through a few changes before it is fully operational.
One obvious change will be the absence of the lower baseball
and tee ball fields closest to the River. These fields
continuously flooded each time it flooded over it's bank so the
fences have been removed and this area will become a grassy
area where football practices can be held.
The other three ball fields will be repaired. Much of the
fencing has been replaced or repaired at the park.
Also, the upper tee ball fields closest to the river will also be
gone. The playground has been cleaned as we ll as the skate
park. The skate park has been turned over by the City of
Franklin to the Heard County Board of Commissioner. The
gym floor has been repaired as well.
