Dozens of downtown advocates gathered Wednesday for the grand opening of the First Presbyterian Community Park, located on Clark Street, directly next to the Newton County Visitor's Center in Covington. The park sits on the former site of the Community Food Pantry, and was built by the church to beautify the downtown and give residents a place to sit and relax or enjoy lunch. Several groups donated to the project, including Bonanza Prodcutions, which produces "The Vampire Diaries" and gave $1,000 to the park building fund.
