Traditionally, each family that lives in the Governor's Residence finds a lasting improvement to make to the buildings or grounds. This court, which was funded by private donations via the Governor's Public Building Foundation, will provide opportunities to host youth league games and community events.
After a dedication ceremony Saturday, the gold medal-winning DeKalb County Special Olympics team divided into two squads to play an exhibition game.
