HEAVY RAIN FORCES TEMPORARY COBB PARKS CLOSURES

Marietta, GA - Heavy rains caused by the remnants of Hurricane Sally swept across Cobb County overnight and into the morning rush hour causing road flooding and toppling trees.  Cobb DOT crews have been dispatched to dozens of locations across the county and our PARKS crews have closed four locations due to high water.

East Cobb Park, Fullers Park, Noonday Creek Park, and the Sweat Mountain Dog Park will be closed until the waters recede and crews can clean up and repair any damage.
The Sweat Mountain Park will remain closed until a large tree can be removed.

The National Weather Service issued Flash Flood Warnings for the Noonday Creek (Kennesaw), Nickajack Creek (Mableton), Sope Creek (Marietta), and the Chattahoochee River.  Most of the heavy rain has moved out of Cobb County but the flooding could persist throughout the day.

Motorists are urged to use caution and avoid water-covered streets.  Please be careful around county crews cleaning up the damage.
