Frequently Asked Questions
The Board of Commissioners can also approve the purchase of a property for a park without a park bond. The 54-acre Tritt property was at the top of the Park Bond list for purchase in 2006 and 2008, and it is the last large green space available in East Cobb.
District 2 has the lowest number of acres of county parks in Cobb County.
Our goal is to raise $4 million in efforts to partner with the county to preserve this land as green space and part of East Cobb's history. Our intention is to raise enough funds to close the gap between what the owner wants as the asking price and what the county is able to pay from its budget. The more private funds we raise, the more likely this project is to succeed.
The Friends of Tritt Park are committed to seeking all funding sources available to make this a reality for East Cobb residents. We have been committed in our efforts to preserve the quality of life in our community, and we will continue to do the same here. Every one is welcome to join the effort to save this property.
