Story 6: park
Garland Mission Park, a future 443-acre park near Waleska, is being developed with the support of Canton First Baptist Church. Although privately owned, the park aims to be a gathering place for all members of the community. The land was donated to the church in 2018, and the project leaders, including Senior Adult Pastor Alvin Emmett and Project Director Tiffanie Miller, envision it as a versatile space for activities such as mountain biking, hiking, and reflection. The park's opening will occur in phases, with the first phase featuring a prayer garden modeled after Ruth Graham's prayer garden in Asheville. The park received a grant for parking lot security improvements and has been a place for community gatherings, including a Christmas church service.
