Clarkston residents will be celebrating the grand opening of the renovated Milam Park and National Night Out on Aug. 7 with a block party.

The 6:30-to-8:30-p.m event will include American and international food, music, games, a display of public safety vehicles, a special appearance by the Batmobile, and a very special performance by the internationally famous Burundi Drummers of Atlanta.

Renovations at the park included a $10,000 renovation of the tennis courts, a $500,000 remake of the pool, modern playground equipment, refurbished restrooms, renovated multipurpose recreation areas for soccer and baseball, new parking surfaces, refurbished pavilions with new grills, and a new Americans With Disabilities Act-compliant ramp and sidewalk that provide full accessibility to the entire park.

National Night Out, which is in its 29th year, is a crime and drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch.

Parking and shuttle transportation to and from the park will be available at Clarkston First Baptist and Clarkston United Methodist churches between 6 and 9 p.m. Milam Park is at 3867 Norman Road. For more information, call Keith Barker at 404-296-6489.
