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.
