District 4 Pocket Park

The new one-acre District 4 Pocket Park, 849 Battle Creek Road, Jonesboro GA 30236, is being built on Battle Creek Road in front of the Shelnutt Senior Center (Kinship Care Resource Center). The park will include a picnic shelter, restroom, sidewalks, playground and lawn area for play as well as a staging area for a Clayton County Fire & Emergency Services mobile medical clinic. 

Funding to construct the District 4 Pocket Park is twofold. The 2021 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) monies have been used to design the park while a Federal Grant obtained by Clayton County will pay for the building of the new park.

July 2026: Designs have been adjusted to shift water pipes by three feet which will eliminate the need to relocate gas lines. The Planning, Design, Construction team is awaiting revised drawings from architects to reflect the changes.

June 2026: Installation of erosion control fencing is nearly complete, and contractors are awaiting a response from Atlanta Gas Light regarding the location of underground gas lines.

May 2026: Erosion control fencing has been installed around the location and crews have begun clearing and grading the lot.
