Belhaven Park Improvements
GBF has recently contracted with Synergy Electric to furnish and install six new Visonaire bollards, mount these new bollards to concrete in existing empty pole light locations and connect to existing wiring and lighting circuitry. This new lightning will bolster security and encourage more resident use of this lovely neighborhood park. GBF also has provided a doggy waste stand and bags for our four legged friends to keep this space clean for all!

“We love working in our yard because it lets us cultivate the earth, remembering our creative God who first made a beautiful garden for His children to tend. It gives us great joy to shape our little plot of land and watch it (sometimes) flourish.”
