There are approximately 24.5 miles of paved streets, excluding state and federal highways. These streets are completely maintained by the city&#8217;s public works\u00a0department.<br \/>\nEast Dublin completed the Governor&#8217;s All-Star Program \u00a0in 1983 with credit received in the following areas: Community Services, Community Facilities, Community Administration and Community Enrichment.<br \/>\nIn 1982, the City\u00a0of East Dublin acquired a state and federal grant for the construction of a recreation park. With the assistance of the Georgia National Guard of Sandersville, Georgia, Laurens County, and local private contractors, Buckeye Park was created. This park offers a public boat ramp, two fish ponds, a Little League softball and football field along with picnic facilities and a community house to provide enjoyment for the public. Its shady, relaxed atmosphere completes the success of this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City\u00a0of East Dublin was officially chartered by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia on February 1, 1952.
