Tiny sneak peak - on display for a limited time!

Wormsloe is currently hosting a mixed-media art exhibit featuring works by talented University of Georgia students.

The art displayed is inspired by the raw beauty and visual ecology of the Georgia coast: each work is a collection of deeply personal, specific observations, and the quiet details that moved these artists to create.

đź—“Come and see before the exhibit closes on June 27th.

Isn't summer synonymous with BBQ?! We think so, which is why we decided to replace the grills at Victoria Bryant State Park.

The picnic shelter grill needed replaced so that you can enjoy more summer BBQs with your loved ones. The old grill was, eh em, "had seen better days" and now you can enjoy a new cooking area.

Huge thank you to, Bobby, from park Maintenance for his assistance and our Friends volunteer, Tim, for tag-teaming the installation. We appreciate you all and are very excited for more folks to enjoy summer meals a the picnic shelter at Victoria Bryant State Park

Yurt under construction at George L Smith State Park! If you haven’t been yurt camping, we recommend checking it out.

Made of wood and canvas, yurts feature a private deck, picnic table, grill/fire ring and water spigot outside. Inside you will find furniture, electrical outlets, windows and locking doors. You get the vibes of camping without the extra work. It makes for a more seamless experience!

At Georgia State Parks, bathhouses are in walking distance of the yurts.

Don’t forget to show your Friends membership at check in to receive your discount.

Trackchairs to the park system through the Aimee Copeland Foundation has been one of the greatest additions to the parks this decade!

These chairs allow those with mobility issues to enjoy the trails and Friends is honored to be part of this program. (In fact, you'll find some special supplies for you from Friends accompanying the track chairs when you make your first reservation.)

To have a trackchair at the park there needs to be trails that accommodate them, with a five foot wide travel paths.

In the case of Chattahoochee Bend, that includes several bridges being upgraded. Instead of just repairing the bridges we now want to make them wide enough to accommodate these unique vehicles to help more people enjoy the park. This is no small task! There's been extensive plans that have gone into such a task.

Our plans are to complete the bridge rebuild during our June Second Saturday Workday. If you are interested in helping, please join us on June 13th. We start at 9:00am but will be at bridge 4 for most of the day putting up railings and building ramps

We hope you stay tuned as we journey with you to making the parks more accessible!
