Bratt area residents had a chance to look at plans and ask questions about the new Bratt Community Park at a meeting Tuesday evening. The favored design option for the new park on Highway 4 near the First Baptist Church of Bratt includes two softball fields, a full basketball court, a covered picnic pavilion and a kid’s playground.
The park design also includes a paved, 8-foot wide, eight-tenths of a mile walking/biking track around the perimeter of the park. There will also be exercise and rest stations positioned along the track.The park will be funded with $200,000 is LOST (local option sales tax) funds set aside to fund the park’s development.
Joy Jones, from Escambia County’s Parks and Recreation Department said it would take a couple of months to obtain the permits needed to build the park, and it would take several more months to complete construction.
