Glynn County, the St. Simons Land Trust and Supporters of the Park at Harrington recently celebrated the opening of Harrington Community Park. The mid-island park is on 11 acres of land at 325 South Harrington Road surrounding the Harrington School, the former one-room schoolhouse where African-American children were educated from 1920 to the mid-1950s. The property contains ecologically sensitive wetlands, as well as two ponds that provide habitat for federally endangered wood storks and other native wildlife. Improvements include walking trails, benches, and viewing platforms. Dale Provenzano, Ben Slade, and the DeLong-Sweet Family Foundation were recognized specially for the roles they each played in making the park a reality.
