Community leaders and the city honored donors and friends of Glover Park’s renovation during a 20th anniversary celebration this week on the Square. In 1852 Marietta Mayor John Heyward Glover presented the city with land for its first park in the center of the town’s square. In the mid 1980s, prominent Cobb County developer John Williams donated money for a complete renovation of the park, and a blue-ribbon panel raised additional funds to help make the park what it is today. The renovation began in October of 1985, and the park was reopened in a public celebration May 17, 1986.
