Nominate Fowler Field Park to Receive a $75,000 Grant

We’re excited to announce that Fowler Field has been selected as one of nine projects in the 2023 Niagara Perk Your Park Campaign.

With your help, we can create a much-needed rain garden that will efficiently manage stormwater drainage, keeping the park fresh and vibrant all year round. We're also planning trail improvements, including a crushed gravel resurfacing, ensuring the park's trails remain accessible and enjoyable, no matter the weather.

You can help us by visiting DouglasvilleGA.Gov/PerkYourPark once daily through September 18 and selecting our park. Let’s perk our community park – spread the word!! To maximize our chances of receiving the grant, we invite you to sign up for daily email or text reminders at www.DouglasvilleGA.Gov/Subscribe.
