Runners took over several streets and multiuse paths Saturday for a Peachtree City tradition.

The Peachtree City Classic, sponsored by the Peachtree City Running Club, stepped off in front of the Fred. The 5 and 15 kilometer races wound their way through a course that followed Peachtree Parkway and took runners along the banks of Lake Peachtree.

This year's race marked the 41st time the Peachtree City Running Club organized the event.

Shirewood Park culvert replacement starts

Replacement of the Shirewood Park culvert started October 12, following delays due to supply chain issues.

The culvert located between Shirewood Park and Mellington Lane washed away during some heavy rains earlier this year.

If the weather cooperates, construction should take approximately a week to finish.

The Shirewood path re-opened to cart traffic on October 15, 2022. Gravel will cover the path's surface until it can be paved.

Construction on the Corrigan path starts this week.

More information on closures and detours can be found by clicking here.

Meade softball complex gets upgrade

Recreation workers started installing new foul poles at the Meade softball complex.

The metal fixtures replace the old wooden poles on all fields.

Girls playing softball will notice the change as they take the field next spring. Registration for the 2023 season is currently underway with the Peachtree City Girls Softball Association.
