vision
The Coweta Street Park initiative will transform an existing public space within the city of Senoia, creating an innovative, welcoming, and accessible green space for those of all ages and economic statuses.
The existing park is sparse and deteriorating. This public-private community-wide initiative will create a healthy, vibrant green space revitalizing the North side of Senoia, expanding access to multi-generational families, children with disabilities, and the entire community.
be the difference
The vast majority of the funds to be raised supporting this initiative will come from private sources. The park will be open to the entire community. All other funds necessary to complete the park project will come from either cash donations or in-kind donations of needed goods and services.
The park fundraising committee is seeking the involvement and support of local businesses, corporations, and foundations. The Senoia Housing Authority, AMC, Coweta-Fayette EMC, Historical Concepts, Integrated Science and Engineering as well as other local businesses have already invested in the Coweta Street Park initiative.
Our local community is an equally important pillar in the success of this project. Citizens, churches, and civic organizations are the beating heart of Senoia and can be a driving force in bringing this project to reality.
Every dollar donated, every hour of in-kind services provided, and every ounce of
materials provided on an in-kind basis will go towards the completion of this
initiative. All efforts of the Park Steering Committee and Fundraising Committee are on a volunteer basis.
The Coweta Street Park Initiative is a Project of Coweta Community Foundation.
Donations are being made to the Coweta Community Foundation (CCF) and earmarked for the Coweta Street Park Project. CCF is a well-established 501(c)( 3) in Coweta County Georgia

The Coweta Street Park Initiative is made possible through the generous support of businesses, community organizations, and especially, families and individuals. Individual contributions, no matter how big or small, are invaluable in helping to kick-start this important project. The response from the community thus far has been truly inspiring, and we are grateful for everyone who has joined us in this effort.
But we need your continued support to ensure the success of the Coweta Street Park Initiative. By purchasing a permanent brick for the park's walkway, you can show your commitment to improving our community and leave a lasting legacy for future generations. Donations between $250-$999 can have a personalized brick (three lines up to 24 characters per line) added to the Park’s walkway. Donations of $1,000 and above can have a larger personalized brick. Each and every individual contribution is crucial to the success of this initiative, and we thank you for your generosity and support.
