It’s game on at downtown Carrollton’s Amp Park thanks to new outdoor recreation equipment.
Carrollton
Main Street recently installed outdoor gaming equipment in the park between the
Amp and courthouse parking deck. The park now features two ping-pong tables, a
foosball table, a chess table and cornhole boards, all made out of concrete to
withstand the elements.
“During
community workshops held last year for Carrollton’s Comprehensive Plan update,
inactive parks were brought up several times,” said Main Street Director Aundi
Lesley. “Many citizens said they would like to activate some of those parks and
see those spaces better utilized. The Main Street Board and I thought the park
in the heart of downtown, right behind the Amp, would be a great place to start.”
People
can check out and return chess and checkers pieces, cornhole bags, foosballs
and ping-pong balls and paddles at Otter’s Chicken right behind the Amp during
their business hours or can bring their own game pieces.
“The
community can play during our Main Street events, while waiting for a table at
one of our restaurants or come hang out and play any day of the week,” Lesley
said.
The gaming gear was purchased with 2018 Taste of Carrollton proceeds. A ribbon cutting for the new park equipment was held July 11.
