We encourage each of you who have enjoyed using East Cobb Park, and other parks around Cobb, to PLEASE send an email to the Commissioners voicing your support for keeping the Tritt Property on the SPLOST list:
Tomorrow’s Board of Commissioners meeting is a Virtual meeting, so we cannot attend it in person, but we can email. Visit this page to watch the meeting online.
We all have seen just how vital parks and green space are to the well-being of our community in these last several months.
The SPLOST 2022 funds would enable the County to save up to purchase the final 24 acres of the property. There are no other large tracts of land in East Cobb that can be saved as green space / park land. If we do not fight to save this property, it will get developed and press in on the existing beauty of East Cobb Park.
We fought very hard to stop development on this land, and let's continue to see the dream through by reminding the Board of Commissioners how important it is to ‘save the Green Jewel of East Cobb’ to our community.

Additional Information: 30 acres of the 54-acre Tritt property located next to East Cobb Park was purchased by the County as a Park in 2018, thanks to 2008 Park Bond issuance. The East Cobb community's efforts ! $12.5 million of the original $40 million Park Bond 2008 issued in 2017 was not spent. The $8 million cost for the remaining acreage of the Tritt property was available in the original 2008 Park Bond. There are 24 acres of the Tritt property remaining to purchase, and the County has the first right of refusal to purchase those acres next to East Cobb Park.
