Oconee County Experimenting With Autry Road Exit To Oconee Veterans Park

Oconee County Parks and Recreation Department last week began using Autry Road as a second exit from Oconee Veterans Park on an experimental basis to see if it helps relieve traffic during peak periods at the park.

Traffic on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. period will be allowed to exit the park via the back gate, which feeds onto Autry Road and then Hodges Mill Road.

Traffic will not be able to enter the park at any point via Autry Road, and the gate on that road at the rear of the park will remain closed at other times and dates.

“It is a trial season to determine if it helps our citizens with exiting the park during these high volumes traffic times,” said Lisa D. Davol, director of the Oconee County Parks and Recreation Department.
