In August 2021, The Macon Water Authority in need of additional water capacity, purchased the fallowed Atlantic Mills property adjacent to the park to construct a water tower. The HVNA installs drape light poles around the congregation area to provide lighting during events. The Vineville Garden Club, the oldest Macon Garden Club, planted two Gem Magnolias honoring the park renovation to flank the new park entrance sign on March 22, 2018. Additionally on donations, tries to maintain a supply of park soccer balls. It’s really going to help beautify the area,” says Pipkins. We’re making it out of timber, so it’s not going to be a big eyesore, so it’s not a big piece of plastic out here. “It’s mostly just for climbing, but it also fits in with the neighborhood. From the WMAZ news article in Dec 2017: Pipkins says he is hoping the new feature will give kids in the Vineville neighborhood something fun to do. In November of 2016, The Community Foundation of Central Georgia awarded a grant to Macon-Bibb County for renovations of the park that included ongoing care and maintenance, grading, concrete walking paths, landscaping and infrastructure improvements.Īs an Eagle Scout project, a climbing gym was constructed on Maby Chandler Pipkins. The park is managed by the Macon-Bibb County Parks and Beautification Department. The property sat adjacent to the 121 year old Atlantic Mills (PKA Manchester Mills) that burnt down in 2011. These lots were once tenement houses for Atlantic Mills whose structures have long been missing from our history.
Oak Haven Park was established on by the Macon-Bibb County Commission, Economic and Community Development Committee thru the purchase of 10 contiguous vacant lots (1.87 Acres). On the idea of establishing a park in our community, the Historic Vineville Neighborhood Association consults with the Bibb County leaders and promotes the creation of a park on the vacant land of English Avenue. The Historic Vineville Neighborhood Association gives many thanks and gratitude to the endless work of Lars Anderson for the continuing support and advancement of Oak Haven Park. Recent upgrades to the park include the playground, climbing gym, play field, lighting and parking.
