Creekside Park Trail
Public Works
Johns Creek, GA 30097
The Creekside Park Phase 1 Trail project is now complete!
The project, which created a trail connection from Medlock Bridge Road to the interior of Creekside Park adjacent to the Hyatt Place Hotel, amplifies the City’s commitment to pedestrian connectivity in the Town Center area. It’s also an opportunity for incorporating a healthy lifestyle and improved quality of life in our community, which is emerging as a leader in health, wellness, and innovation.
The City also celebrated the installation of a new public art piece, “Ferns,” located adjacent to the trail. Created by artists Julia Hill and Chelsea Darling, the art piece features iron salvaged from the historic former Rogers Bridge over the Chattahoochee River. “Ferns” was made possible through the partnership and collaborative efforts of the Johns Creek Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Johns Creek Recreation & Parks Advisory Committee, and the Johns Creek Arts, Cultural, and Entertainment Committee.
This trail connection project represents the first phase of Creekside Park construction, which reimagines and activates roughly 20 acres of existing City land in Town Center to include a constructed wetland area (within the existing south pond area) connected up to Creekside Park’s north pond (behind City Hall) by a 15’ 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.
