We were very busy this past season with numerous church, civic, and school groups, company picnics, family reunions and Weddings. We also had several marathons and charity fundraisers having their picnic for the first time at Hall County Park rather than Stolley Park. These new organizations had several compliments about the Park, the Life Trail and overall set up of the park they plan to reserve the park again next year.
