Willing Workers Community Club Park
The Willing Workers Community Club Park ribbon-cutting was just under 2 months ago on Thursday, April 28th. The newly renovated park has a basketball court, swings, walking trails, and two pavilions with picnic tables.
We may be biased, but this park is gorgeous.
Willing Workers Community Club was founded in the early 1950s by 12 African American members; 3 of the women are still alive: Sarah Whittaker, Kate Phillips, and Rosie Lee Sexton. The members who founded it were truly entrepreneurial as they had many jobs they did and they were passionate about serving and working for the community.
Mrs. Faye Carter-Dobbs is a daughter of one of the founders and also serves on the Parks Advisory Board. She shared that the founding members were "always willing to help and always working".
Although her parents have passed, she felt it was her duty to make sure the park continued to flourish for our community.
If you're in Douglasville this Summer, be sure to add Willing Workers Community Club Park to your itinerary.
