Tugalo Street Greenspace

Tugalo Street Greenspace: Grand Opening July 20, 2024!

Commemorating Toccoa's 150th Anniversary: The completion of the Tugalo Street Greenspace this Summer 2024 will coincide with the 150th Anniversary of the City of Toccoa's charter in 1874. This is a very special year for Toccoa, and the creation of this park will stand as a testament to our rich history, vibrant present, and the promising future we envision together. What better way to commemorate this moment in history than with a beautiful greenspace?
