Tavani Soccer Camp at Bunten Rd Park

By | June 6, 2011 | Soccer, Sports, Youth Sports | No comments

The camps have grown in popularity each year and this year we offer players five weeks of action at three different locations (Jefferson Parks & Recreation, South Forsyth’s Sharon Springs Park and Duluth’s Bunten Road Park).

The camps are for boys & girls, ages 7-15. Also, back this year is the Elite camp from 12 noon-1:30 pm (after camp at the Duluth Bunten location), which is for the serious player who wants more soccer action (boys & girls, ages 10-15).

The camp staff is an experienced mix of top club and high school coaches along with college players. All of the college players were once coached by camp director and Georgia Coach of the Year, Gregg Tavani, and serve as role models to the young, aspiring campers.

Tavani Soccer goals are to increase young players’ skills, further develop each camper into a better player, and most of all make it a fun experience.

A goalkeeper coach is on staff.

The camp schedule is designed to be both intense and fun.
Experienced players will be challenged and beginning players will fall in love with the “beautiful game”.
Players are divided and assigned to a coach according to age and skill.

DULUTH DOUBLES THE SIZE OF ROGERS BRIDGE PARK WITH 11 MORE ACRES ALONG THE CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER ROGER “WHO”? BRIDGE “WHERE”?

By | May 11, 2010 | Uncategorized | No comments

Rogers Bridge Park is the newest park addition to the City of Duluth park system and is one of the best parks in Gwinnett County to enjoy a lunch, fly a kite, and relax under the pavilion while watching children play on the playground.

Life just could not get any better! UNLESS, there was more park area to expand the passive recreational opportunities… well…, the City of Duluth in support of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is proud to announce the expansion of the Rogers Bridge Park to include an additional 11 acres of river front property. The park expansion was purchased with SPLOST funds allocated for the development of the park in accordance with the park master plan. The valuable river front property not only increases the acreage of the park to 23 acres, but also increases the park amenities to include a restroom facility, large picnic pavilion, greenspace, sand volleyball court, and river access for future recreational opportunities.

A three acre dog park will be constructed in the first phase of park development to begin fall of 2010. A bike trail from Peachtree Industrial Boulevard to the river is in the final stages of completion, as well as the trail design for the greenway multi use trail parallel to the river.

The City is working with Gwinnett County and Mayor Bodker from the City of Johns Creek to combine resources for the restoration of the one lane trussel bridge known as Rogers Bridge. The restoration of one of the oldest trussel bridges in the State would connect the communities to establish a trail system.

The Parks and Recreation Department would like to hear comments from the citizens on what you like about the park and suggestions for future park amenities. Please notify the department through email or contact the department at 770. 814.6981. A park celebration is being planned for June 5th. Please check the city website for updates.
