The Garden Club Terrace

A special dedication ceremony took place on April 2, 2016 in the right field fan area of Foley Field when it was officially named “The Garden Club Terrace.” This honors former Athletic Director of Administration Reid Parker, former Bulldog golf coach Dick Copas, and former Faculty Athletic Representative Dr. Bill Powell. This trio of remarkable men served the University of Georgia, the UGA Athletic Association, and the Athens community for more than 30 years. They called themselves “The Garden Club” for their informal meetings.A permanent plaque honoring the trio was unveiled that day (at right). It is located by the right field fence and features Parker, Copas and Powell. Members of the Parker, Copas and Powell families, along with J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity were in attendance at the dedication ceremony. Then, they all cheered on the Bulldogs to a 12-4 win over No. 21 Alabama.
