Dunwoody, GA – July 19, 2013 –
The City of Dunwoody Department of Parks and Recreation celebrates the
grand opening of Phase I of the Brook Run Park multi-use trail with a
“Wheel-a-Palooza and Pedal Parade.” The special grand opening event and
parade begins at 10:00 a.m. at the Brook Run Park trail entrance, between the playground and skate park, on Saturday, August 3, and includes a bike/vehicle decorating contest judged by local celebrities.
This
roll and stroll event celebrates the grand opening of the 0.7 mile
“Phase I” section of the Brook Run multi-use trail with an extraordinary
parade competition followed by prizes, giveaways and tempting frozen
treats provided by King of Pops. The decorative wheel
parade and contest is open to both children and adults and distinctive
trophies will be awarded in select categories for the top non-motorized
decorated wheeled vehicles.
Children
ages 12 and under are invited to decorate their bike, wagons, scooters,
or wheelchairs to compete for the top prize in the following children’s
categories: Most Colorful; Most Creative, and; Best Theme. Teens
and adults can also join in the competitive vehicle decoration and one
award for the Most Creative entry in this age group will go out to one
lucky participant.
The decorative wheel competition is free to enter and participants within both age groups must register on-site or by emailing parks@dunwoodyga.gov
prior to the event. Entry in the decorative wheel competition is not
mandatory to be part of the parade but all drivers and riders of wheeled
vehicles are required to wear bike and safety helmets. An adult must
accompany children participants.
“Wheel-a-Palooza
and Pedal Parade” competition event participants should gather in the
pre-event corral area between the Brook Run playground and skate park at
10:00 a.m. Contest winners will be announced at the close of the parade
and all first place category contestants will receive a distinctive
trophy. Following the parade, official judging and award
ceremonies participants can cool down with a delicious frozen gourmet
popsicle and celebrate with friends and family.
The three-quarter mile “Phase I” section of the Brook Run multi-use trail will eventually connect with Phase II, a one mile, 12-foot wide multi-use concrete trail which will complete an approximate 2 mile loop within the park. The
City is currently in the final design stage for Phase II of the trail
and anticipated trail construction is planned to begin in the fall.
