Places for kids just to be kids

Duncan Park

Clarence Duncan Park, located in Fairburn, Georgia, is where Eric Berry learned to play football.  The park is close to his heart and was the launch site of the Eric Berry Foundation.  After years of neglect, the once pristine park had lost its shine and in February of 2010, the Eric Berry Foundation decided to begin the process of revitalizing the park. Partnering with AstroTurf, plans were made to install a state of the art turf field.  In September the field was ready for use and is currently being enjoyed by the youth football programs of south Atlanta.

Our Goals:

• Identify communities in need of revitalized recreational facilities
• Create feasible revitalization plans
• Align partners to help fund and facilitate the projects
• Involve communities
• Provide places where kids can just be kids
