Bogan Park gymnasium now offering badminton

Lawrenceville, (Sep. 5, 2007) – Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation (GCPR) will be offering something new this fall. Beginning in September, Bogan Park Gymnasium will be equipped with Badminton courts, the first in a GCPR facility.

   The idea is a result of citizen comments at a Public Input Meeting earlier this summer. These meetings were held in June to gather thoughts from the public on GCPR’s plans, improvements, amenities, and a variety of other topics.

   “The lines for the courts are going to be added when the gym floor is resurfaced in September,” says Bogan Park Recreation Supervisor Chris Moore. Moore says there are surprisingly large local groups dedicated to Badminton, and that he has already received positive feedback from them regarding GCPR’s plans to build courts.

   After Sep. 12, the two courts will be available for open play on Mon. and Wed. from 10 a.m. to noon. Players are encouraged to bring their own equipment, but Bogan Park Gym staff will also have racquets and birdies on hand for public use. 

   Bogan Park is located at 2723 North Bogan Rd. in Buford. For more information call 770-932-4423.
