McIntyre Court Playground
"For more than 60 years, Coca-Cola has worked with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to help make a positive difference by providing youth a safe place after school where they can play, learn and grow," said Celeste Bottorff, Vice President, Living Well, Coca-Cola North America. "We're elated by the response from people willing to help us raise funds for the Boys & Girls Clubs, and this playground illustrates the good that can happen when we all work together for the benefit of our communities."
The playground, which is located near McIntyre Court, has two separate play structures for children of different ages, refurbished and new basketball courts and a field with both soccer and football goals. It was constructed over a two-day period in May by local volunteers recruited by Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Georgia, United Way of Coastal Georgia and Coca-Cola Bottling Company (CCBC) United.
"This playground is being built in one of Brunswick's neediest communities," said Brunswick Housing Authority Board Chairman Fred Tullos. "Not only will the playground improve quality of life for our residents, it will provide them a safe place to be active and engage in life outdoors for years to come. And, as always, the Brunswick Housing Authority will continue to serve them every day."

Brunswick Housing Authority Going Green
The Brunswick Housing Authority has partnered with Honeywell to perform a sweeping green change within our communities. Our communities are now fully electric removing gas stoves and water heaters from the units replacing them with low consumption electric stoves and water heaters. Low flow aerators, energy saving light bulbs and low flow shower heads have been installed. Double hung insulated windows have also been installed in all of the Brunswick Housing Authority units. We are proud to do our part to lower energy consumption and be greener for our planet. Click here to read about some of our other exciting programs.
