Parks Master Plan

The Parks and Open Space master planning process began following the June 2010 acquisitions of six park properties from DeKalb County. Master planning is a process by which the community works with the City to create a vision and guiding plan for the City’s future investment in its current parks and potential acquisition of additional parkland and open space. The City Council will be discussing the Master Plan over the coming weeks during regularly scheduled Council meetings.

The Master Plan includes an overview of current facilities and recreation opportunities, operations analysis, budget review, funding strategy discussion, as well as individual park and facility assessments and recommendations.
