The park wil be located about’ one mile south of town on ,the west side of the Chapel Hill Road (Highway 86). The area is about seven acres in size with a sizeable stream, bordering it on the side apposite the highway and another small stream crossing it. The Exchange Club has been very interested in procuring a de sirable site and building a park for for the community for several years. In 1951 a survey was made to find such a location. It develop ed at the yme that' no desirable sites were for sate or the juricer were out of reach. During Jhe fall of last year de velopements had taken. place to such a degree that several site* ?ame to the club’s attention as bd* Lng available.-The Club then set the machinery rolling to make a’ • new survey. Lewis Clarke ot' fhe School' d ftesign- rtt-State Cotege-was-ealled - upon to help the Club in this sur vey and plans'for a ftark. Clarke assigned the project to two senior students in this field; of study. Ben Gary flf Hdnderson and Bob Mc Donald, of Murphy, did a^ large amount of research and finally brought their findings back to the Club’s Committee. The students and Clark were of the unanimous opinion (hat the location in the Chapel Hill Hoad was the nfiast lesirable for many reasons. immediately the work began on layout plans for the facilities and equipment to be contained in the park. Preliminary plans have been presented to the Park Committee and Board of Control and received approval.. Now final plans are being ..lushed to completion so that the Qy.k.might.begin work ns soon.as possible in the development. The Exchange Chib realizes that the development of thi^park will be a long range project, but at the same time realizes tl^t the time of development can be short cut d with the cooperation of all the citizens of our community.
