Sherry’s project included the planning, programming, and design of a new municipal park. Located on a beautiful wooded site in the Coweta Creek floodplain, Cottonwood Park will feature a playground, a picnic grounds and shelter, a dog park, pollinator gardens, and much more. Sherry identified two grants to fund the park’s construction that the city hopes to apply for this summer.
