With the topic of ever-shrinking green space in the news (here’s yesterday’s post about the Tritt property to be sold to the county near East Cobb Park), another recently-purchased parcel of recreational space will get a public preview in highlighting East Cobb weekend events.
The public preview for the future Ebenezer Road Park is Saturday from 10-12, and to be specific the address is 4055 Ebenezer, close to the intersection of Canton Road. The county recently purchased the 18.3 acres with parks bond referendum money for a passive park that once belonged to the Strother family. You can bring fishing gear and your canines, although swimming won’t be allowed, and parking onsite is very limited;
The students of Summer Cabaret Camp have been working hard for the Friday and Saturday presentations of “Little Shop of Horrors” at The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road). The Mountain View Arts Alliance’s Summer Concert Series events take place both nights at 7:30, with doors opening at 7. Seating is free on the lawn (or $40 for a table), and donations are accepted for concessions;
If cool underwater immersion theatre is your thing, The Little Mermaid Jr. is taking place this weekend and next at Piedmont Church (570 Piedmont Road). Shows are 7 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Admission proceeds from the church’s adaptation of the Disney Classic will benefit Simple Needs Georgia;
This event is for grown-ups: From 2-4 Saturday come by the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road) for its Adult Beach Reads Party that includes a book talk, books to check out and take with you to the beach and some surf dancing to get you in the mood for a vacation;
On Sunday, a low-cost pet vaccination clinic takes place from 12-2 at the Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team office (2249 Roswell Road), with all tax-deductible fees to benefit the Homeless Pets Foundation.
