Spring for changes at OC parks

Spring will signal change within Oconee County’s three-park system. For the first time, those wishing to reserve campsites and shelters may do so through a national reservation system called “Reserve America.” Phil Shirley, PRT director, says the reservation service will incorporate Oconee’s parks beginning April 24. Shirley also announced that Saturday, March 8 will serve as the grand opening for South Cove Park’s “major theme” playground. Meantime, architects have begun working on plans to replace the South Cove office that was ruined by a series of water leaks.
