12:00 p.m.
Southwest Corner of North Peachtree Road and Barclay Drive
The ceremonial groundbreaking event will celebrate the beginning of construction for the new ballfields at Brook Run Park.
Please join City of Dunwoody Council members, city partners, and city staff for the celebratory event.
The two new fields, which will also serve as the new home for Dunwoody Senior Baseball, will have rectangular multi-purpose field overlay/striping complete with a durable all-season synthetic turf. The fields will be set-up for shared use by Peachtree Charter Middle School for the school’s gym and outdoor classes. The facility will also include a new concession building, new bathrooms, a playground, bleacher stands, batting cages, and parking.
The fields will be located at the corner of North Peachtree Road and Barclay Drive, an eight-acre property adjacent to Peachtree Charter Middle School. A new bus turn around and drop off with ADA access and handicap parking will also be included at the new site.
A lunch will be served for attendees following the groundbreaking celebration.
PARKING: Please park at Brook Run Park by the pavilion (about midway down South Georgia Way in Brook Run Park) and then walk towards the multi-use trail/Barclay Drive where there is a crosswalk which leads to a paved access road/fire lane onto the site.
Attached below are the final set construction drawings for the ballfield facilities which the included numerous cost cutting measures to get the total cost down to the budged $5.6 million. The City explored doing underground water detention under the new parking lot but it was a $600K price tag and therefore not recommended.

It looks good. If you can find out what is the plan with regard to when will the gate on Barclay be open vs locked, that would be nice. I like taking my kids to the track, and it would be nice to park near the track, not in the lots up the stairs, where I can't see my car.
