Stekoa Creek Park

Park History and Features

History: Built in 2015 and donated to the City of Clayton by the Chattooga Conservancy, a local non-profit organization that is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the environment and cultural heritage of the Chattooga River watershed.

Created by restoring a former construction dumping site, to demonstrate the potential for more projects that could benefit the community, while helping to clean up Stekoa Creek.

Features include:

• - Timber frame/Georgia granite pavilion (based on a design used by the CCC for 1930s-era picnic shelters)

• - Rain garden to intercept/clean storm water discharge from Highway 441 before it flows into Stekoa Creek

• - Trail system landscaped with over 100 species of native trees, shrubs and wildflowers, many rare

• - Replica of a Native American ceremonial mound, created from a mound of fill dirt on the site

• - A stairway and path to the top of the mound lead to a raised bed wildflower garden and a timber frame flower garden and a timber frame
