Atlanta Hawks Making Big Improvements To Brookhaven Park

BROOKHAVEN, GA — The Brookhaven City Council got its first look at planned improvements to the Lynwood Park facility thanks to a special partnership with the Atlanta Hawks Foundation and State Farm at its July 23 regular business meeting. The council unanimously approved the donation from the foundation for site improvements to existing basketball courts and for the renovation of the facility at Lynwood Park, which include upgraded furnishings and technology.

"The Atlanta Hawks have already proven to be an invaluable community partner in the short time since they located their practice facility in Brookhaven,” said Mayor John Ernst. “This investment in our youth underscores the continuing commitment of the Hawks and State Farm to enhance healthy recreational opportunities in Brookhaven and beyond.”

The Atlanta Hawks Foundation is a Georgia non-profit organization which forges partnerships with local agencies in order to benefit children with an interest in basketball through the operation of youth basketball programs. The organization has partnered with State Farm to make investments in neighborhoods across the metro Atlanta area as part of the State Farm Neighborhood of Good and the Atlanta Hawks Court and Community Program.

Improvements at Lynwood Park are expected to be complete in mid-September.
