Creation Plantation

The City of Dadeville demolished the previous playground earlier this year after a inspection revealed the wooden playset risked collapsing. 

A Dadeville city leader is urging that a local playground be renamed due a racist connotation. 

Councilwoman Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson

Goodman-Johnson called for the word's removal during a city council meeting on Tuesday.

The playground has remained closed to the public since the city demolished the previous recreational equipment, but will soon be replaced according to Dadeville council members.
