Chapel Hill Park gets makeover

Chapel Hill Park in Decatur received new features and cosmetic improvements April 2. In conjunction with Earth Day, Kaiser Permenante partnered with Earth Share Georgia, Park Pride and Friends of Chapel Hill Park to make improvements to the park as part of its annual environmental service project. 

Approximately 40 volunteers came to the park to plant plants, install erosion control features, powerwash the pavilions and create an outdoor classroom.

“We’re very happy to be here…giving back to the community,” said  Sharon Getties Johnson, manager of community service with Kaiser Permenante.

“[This] keeps our community healthy–and healthy is more than going to the doctor. It’s greenspace, clean water and clean air,” Getties Johnson said.
