The Suwanee City Council, City Staff, Public Arts Commission, and representatives from CPL and Reeves Young gathered on April 22 to cut the ribbon on the newly renovated Station Park.

Formerly City Hall Park, this pocket park is located between the Suwanee police station and StillFire (formerly the fire station). Renovations began in the fall and include artificial turf ripe for cornhole, new seating, and a refurbished playground. The restructuring also improved the alignment of the trail linking Buford Highway and Main Street, visually linking the existing Town Center and location of the Town Center Park expansion. Additional lighting was also provided to improve safety.

“Station Park was an opportunity to capture an underutilized space. We refurbished an existing park and transformed it into place that people will want

to congregate,” said Bryon McCarley from CPL, who provided an overview of the park design at the ribbon cutting ceremony.

The city also officially unveiled the three-story, 2,848-square-foot mural, Transformation by Lauren Stumberg, on the municipal courthouse exterior wall. The mural is part of the City of Suwanee’s “1% for art” developer component of its own public art program.
