Playground improvements will support hands-on safety education for local students
MARIETTA, GA, UNITED STATES, July 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Great American Green will install new synthetic turf at the playground inside Cobb County Safety Village, an 8-acre educational campus where thousands of students visit each year to learn essential safety skills.
Built in 2009, the facility immerses visitors in hands-on lessons covering fire, traffic and personal safety in a scaled-down town complete with sidewalks, traffic signals and small-scale buildings. Today, it is one of 27 Safety Villages in the United States and the only Safety Village in Georgia, providing a unique setting for interactive safety education.
The project will be installing turf for the new playground extension with low-maintenance synthetic turf designed to withstand year-round use by visiting school groups while creating a safer, more durable space for children to learn and play. The installation reflects Great American Green’s ongoing commitment to enhancing recreational spaces that serve communities across Georgia.
“We’re honored to support Cobb County Safety Village and its mission of teaching children skills that can last a lifetime,” said Darryl DuLong, CEO of Great American Green. “Creating safe, durable spaces where kids can learn, explore and play is exactly the kind of community investment we’re proud to be part of.”
Members of the media are invited to attend the unveiling of the new installation and speak with representatives from Great American Green and Cobb County Safety Village about the project, the importance of quality recreational spaces and the role the facility plays in educating local children.
Date: July 29, 2026
Time: 10:30am
Location: Cobb County Safety Village, 1220 Al Bishop Dr., Marietta, GA 30008
