[PHOTOSTORY 1: OUTDOORS] Outdoor Life in Swainsboro, Georgia

 By: Lanna Douglas

The many geese that reside at Harmon Park. The population of these animals has only grown over the course of the last couple of years. 

The Hook Family enjoying the park and McDonald's. "We are passing through from Washington, Georgia, on our way to Tybee Island."

Their daughter, Nora Hook, trying her hardest to climb up the tunnel at the playground. "Mama I can't get any higher, help!'

The Scott residence in a small neighborhood. This house has been newly remodeled from the ground up. 

Tracy Scott headed to take her husband a glass of water. "I dropped it in the dirt, I hope I didn't get any of it in the bottle."

Lake Woods taking his boat for a spin in the pond in his backyard. "I am so glad that Mama chose a house that has a pond, I can ride whenever I want!"

Luke Scott working on cutting trees to make space for a new shop in his back yard. "I will be so glad when this thing is finished, because I am TIRED!"


The trees that have been cut so far. The family plans on selling them as firewood or finding another use for them. 

The machinery being used to cut the trees. The family says that it has played a huge role in many projects they have done over the years. 

Meeting regarding what is to be done next. "Do you think we need to get rid of anymore trees?" Tracy asked her husband. 

Babysitter Ella Claire taking Emerson for her daily golf cart ride. "I do this everyday, but she is very cranky today. It's almost nap time."

Lifeguards watching over the children at the local splash pad. "Business is really slow today, but we do not mind it at all."

The ginormous bucket of water overflowing. This splash pad is fairly new to Swainsboro, but has been a great place for families to spend the day. 

Members of the Crawford family of Swainsboro enjoying their summer. Their mother was accompanying them with their infant brother and stated, "This is a great way to cool off and have fun."

Downtown Swainsboro fountain. This fountain area is used by many to have photo shoots and it also changes colors seasonally.  

Local biker unwinding in the shade downtown. "I bike through here every day, but it is so hot that I HAD to stop."

Floral arrangement on the corner of the downtown square. Those who decorate work day and night to make sure the square is in tip-top shape. 

The new County Administration Office being built. Members of the county have added on many new additions in the last decade to improve this small town. 

Another addition to the county, the theatre. This has been an ongoing project for several years and is planned to open in late 2025.
