Vanderlyn Neighbors Vote NO on Public Park

 The year is 1988.  There is no City of Dunwoody.  Dunwoody is an affluent, quiet bedroom community.  Schools were some of the best in the state.  Crime was low.  Some consider the 1980's-90's peak Dunwoody.

A year earlier DeKalb voters passed a referendum to fund parks throughout the county, including Dunwoody.  Ideally, DeKalb would have taken this opportunity and purchased land for parks in the Dunwoody area.  Instead, DeKalb did direct some funds into the rare Dunwoody parks, including the Dunwoody Park (Nature Center).  One idea was for $180,000 to be spent to improve the playground at Vanderlyn.  Spoiler alert - it did not happen.  Follow along in the documents below.  (Note: The Crime Stopper's Journal is worthy of it own post - anyone know the author?)
