History of East Cobb Park

In 1998, a group of individuals associated with the East Cobb Area Council of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce joined together to form the non-profit Friends for the East Cobb Park. Their unifying vision was to create a passive Park that would serve as a community gathering place. Their goal was to raise funds sufficient to purchase an appropriate property and deed it to Cobb County who would develop and maintain the Park.

Picnic at the Park
Saturday, June 28th from 11am-2pm, we will have a 5th Anniversary Picnic for East Cobb Park!

The 16th Annual Auction and Wine Tasting held on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at Trilogy in East Cobb was a HUGE success. The proceeds from this joint fundraiser benefited Camp Big Heart, Friends for the East Cobb Park, local scholarships and many other community projects for the aged, homeless, handicapped and needy.

The East Cobb Civitan Club officially donated $12,375.00 to Friends for the East Cobb Park in December. Accumulated gifts to the Park from this event now exceed $72,000!

Be on the lookout later in the year so that you, your business, or organization can be a part of this fantastic event. We thank all of the participants and patrons for their  support!
