Scottsboro Employee Park

Very nice area for the use and relaxation of our City's employees. I contacted Mr. Joe Rogers, Street Department Superintendent and Mrs. Gail Duffey, City Clerk, concerning this area. A poster within had mentioned this area was in a poor state of repair.

The area is very clean and kept, the docks are dangerous, the picnic tables and the bath/shower rooms are falling apart. One dock has been condemned by the TVA. Mrs. Duffey explained that Mr. Cecil Word donated the property to the City's Electric Power Board, the Water-Sewer-Gas Board and the City of Scottsboro for the use of their employees. She also conveyed that a committee would be meeting after the first of the year to discuss the dock's and park's condition. Mrs. Duffey was not aware of the Condemnation of the dock. I contacted her concerning the notice.

I have fond memories as a child being invited to fish off the dock, it used to be great Crappie fishing. Our City's leadership needs to maintain this area in a safe and presentable condition, failure to do so reflects badly on the city as a whole.
