The National Park Service, through the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916), awarded a $635,094 project grant to the Alabama Department of Community and Economic Affairs (ADECA) to construct the Pecan Orchard Park in the town of Eclectic, Alabama. The project activities include building an 8-foot wide accessible walking trail, a designated parking area, a multipurpose pavilion, and installing lighting fixtures, signage, and picnic tables. This will be the town's only recreation facility with a pavilion and multipurpose entertainment space, and it will be linked to the neighboring Panther Palace Park for free townwide usage. The project will benefit all 1,193 residents of Eclectic, including the 42.86% of low-to-moderate income individuals, by providing free daily access and hosting cultural, civic, entertainment, fitness, and fellowship events.
