Fowler Park is an outstanding example of a well thought out, functional, and family-friendly softball park. Hats off to the county’s Parks and Rec department!
Note: Many County and City parks and recreation departments should consult with the County of Forsyth to implement the same type of visitor protection. This is the way it should be done. While netting can’t eliminate all visitor injuries (from fly balls), this netting system lowers the chances of an injury by leaps and bounds.
