New Highland Avenue Park and facilities to open June 13

Forsyth County Government will hold a celebration for newly completed additions to its Health and Human Services Campus on June 13 from 10-11 a.m. in the newly renovated auditorium in Annex 1, 725 Highland Ave.

A guided tour will be offered after the ceremony. The tour will include the new Highland Avenue Park. The new park features a stage, courts for basketball and pickleball, and more.

It will also include renovations to the Highland Avenue Center, 650 Highland Avenue, which will house a new 16-bed adult facility-based crisis center. The renovations also include spaces for the County’s Behavorial Health Services like the Forsyth County Pharmacy, the Stepping Up program, and Substance Use Health Education and Prevention Services, all of which recently relocated to the Highland Avenue Center. These additions-- along with previously existing services at the Center like behavioral health urgent care, medical primary care and open access outpatient services—create a robust continuum of care for patients in one location.

Ater the tour, attendees are invited to the Men’s Health Week Finale happening at the neighboring Public Health Department, which will feature a talk about men’s wellness, free blood pressure checks and vendors that offer health and wellness services to the community.
