JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Jan. 30 for a trail connection at Creekside Park, the 21-acre centerpiece for the city’s anticipated Town Center.
The project, which represents the first phase of Creekside Park construction, connects Medlock Bridge Road to the interior of Creekside Park adjacent to the Hyatt Place Hotel. The trail connection is largely funded by the Johns Creek Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Creekside Park, a $35 million project, will include a constructed wetland area within the existing south pond area, connected to Creekside Park’s north pond behind City Hall by a 15-foot-wide trail. Additional elements surrounding the pond will include terraced seating, an amphitheater with a deck over the water, and a small playground.
Creekside Park construction is expected to begin in late Summer.
At the ribbon-cutting, city leaders also celebrated the installation of a new sculpture titled Ferns next to the trail. Created by artists Julia Hill and Chelsea Darling, the art piece uses iron salvaged from the historic former Rogers Bridge over the Chattahoochee River.
