The Forsyth County Lions Club, along with several other local civic and service organizations and the Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department, started a local Miracle League to provide physically and mentally challenged people of all ages a safe and spirited program in which they can hit, run, and catch on a baseball field.

As a Lions Clubs International Centennial Legacy Project, the Forsyth County Lions Club built a Braille Trail at Fowler Park. The trail is a 375-foot by 6-foot (114 m x 2 m) mulch-paved trail with several signs in English and Braille and two (2) butterfly gardens containing native plants that attract pollinators. All are welcome to visit and walk along the trail.
