1996 Summer Olympics
The town of Elberton, Georgia and Elbert County contributed to the 1996 Summer Olympics by developing a facility to train at Lake Russell for athletes from Canada, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Japan, Moldavia, New Zealand, Russia, Sweden and the United States. Walter McNeely spear-headed the effort and was an Olympic Torchbearer in the 1996 Summer Olympics torch relay. A Pavilion at the Park is named in his memory.
