ENTERPRISE, Ala.(WDNews) – Peavy Park, named after the late Alfred Peavy, a beloved Enterprise coach and educator, is in the midst of a multi-million-dollar renovation aimed at enhancing the quality of life for residents on the town’s south side.
The park on Bellwood Road is now closed as the city embarks on Phase II of the project, which includes the creation of three multipurpose fields and a pedestrian bridge. This phase is slated for completion by the end of 2024.
“We are excited to see improvements take place at Peavy Park,” said Billy Powell, Director of Community Services and Recreation. “Enterprise residents will be able to enjoy various recreational activities on the sport fields, walking trails, and a bridge connecting the two parks.”
The first phase of Peavy Park, located on George Wallace Drive, is nearing completion. This area features three multipurpose fields, sand volleyball courts, a pavilion, restrooms, and a large parking lot. It sits adjacent to the Enterprise State Community College baseball and softball complex.
“Once the contractor turns over the project to the city, we still have some work to do like installing goals and nets. We plan to have a grand opening and invite the public out when it’s ready to open,” Powell added.
Enterprise State Community College and the Alabama Community College System generously donated a 25-acre tract of land for the park’s development, with a groundbreaking ceremony held in January 2022 under the direction of then-President Matt Rodgers.
These improvements promise to provide a vibrant recreational hub for the Enterprise community, fostering greater engagement and activity among residents.
