Putney- Putney Park got a face-lift thanks to the Dougherty County board of commissioners and Merck.

The community landmark hadn't had any upgrades in years. Now residents say they finally have a park they can be proud of.

Not only did Merck help fund improvements to the park, but 12 employees volunteered to do the work.
