Renovation of a playground / park / athletic field in Johns Creek, Georgia. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a playground / park / athletic field.

At the Retreat in January 2023, Council confirmed Creekside Park as a strategic priority. Creekside Park is the City`s most direct, visible implementation of the Town Center Plan and demonstrates the Council`s commitment to creating a community gathering space in Town Center. As the project progresses through the necessary right-of-way acquisition and environmental permitting, at the June 2023 Work Session, Council reviewed the project status and financials. Council confirmed its commitment to fully funding the construction of Creekside Park. Through TSPLOST I and II, Council has previously set aside funding for the signature trail which will meander through the constructed wetland area within the existing south pond area, lead up to and around the north pond (behind City Hall) as well as connecting up to East Johns Crossing. Council has also set aside funds freed up through the American Rescue Plan Act, the Fiscal Year 2022 end-of-year surplus, and Fiscal Year 2023 for engineering and right-of-way. However, funds have not yet been identified to fund the construction of the Amphitheater (Bandshell and Terraced Seating behind City Hall). The requested funding would be added to the budget for construction and is anticipated to cover most if not all of the cost of the signature amphitheater (with a 40x40 stage and angled (1:12) roof). The amphitheater includes both the bandshell as well as the terraced seating between the stage and City Hall. The project is include in the city's 2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
