This is a great snippet of Parks and Recreation history as part of Coweta’s Bicentennial celebration and their Throwback Thursday series! 🎨

Known today as The Young Artists of Newnan & Coweta County, art classes have continued to thrive at the Harriet Alexander Art House serving over 40 youth artists each month! 🎨♥️

Learn more about their art classes on our website, here: https://www.coweta.ga.us/358/Art---Youth

It’s Throwback Thursday and we’re highlighting the people, places and moments that shaped Coweta County as part of our Bicentennial celebration.

Around 1979, students gathered for classes through the Coweta County Parks & Recreation's art program at the original Art House off Hospital Road. The wood-sided house served for years as a creative hub and meeting space for the Newnan-Coweta Art Association, supporting local artists and youth programs throughout the late 1900s.

The original structure is long gone but its legacy continues through the County’s ongoing commitment to arts education.

Did you ever take classes at the Art House?

What a wonderful opening day, Senoia! ⚾️☀️

Saturday was a special day as we celebrated the Phase II ribbon cutting of Leroy H. Johnson Park, followed by a full day of baseball, fun, and community!

Coweta Parks & Recreation Director Jim Gay, District 1 Commissioner Jeff Fisher, and Senoia Area Athletic Association President Jesse Tanner shared remarks about the park’s history, the exciting new amenities, and what this expansion means for our growing community.

We were especially honored to have the Johnson family and Commissioner Fisher join us for the celebration as they helped cut the ribbon and threw out the honorary first pitch! ❤️⚾️

Phase II brings even more opportunities to play, gather, and enjoy the outdoors, including:

⚾️ Baseball Fields
🌭 Concession Stand
🥒 Pickleball Courts
🎾 Tennis Courts
☀️ Covered Pavilion
🚽 Restrooms

A big thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this exciting milestone! Thank you to the City Of Senoia for its ongoing support and partnership, and the Senoia Area Athletic Association for its commitment to youth sports which help our parks thrive.

We can’t wait to see our Senoia community enjoying all that Leroy H. Johnson Park has to offer. 🌳
