MONTGOMERY, AL- Montgomery County officials and community members gathered Friday, November 6, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating new improvements at Elton N. Dean Sr. Park.

The upgrades include a wheelchair-accessible fishing pier, newly paved walking trails, and improved pathways, making the park more accessible and enjoyable for residents of all abilities.

District 2 County Commissioner Carmen Moore-Zeigler highlighted the importance of investing in recreational spaces that enhance the community’s quality of life.

Located on Old Selma Road, the 15-acre park honors the legacy of the late Montgomery County Commission Chairman Elton Dean Sr., whose commitment to public service continues to benefit the community.

The improvements mark another step toward creating more inclusive outdoor recreational opportunities in Montgomery County.
