Master Plan

The City of Johns Creek has begun development of its first Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan. This Master Plan will provide the City with a 10-year roadmap for the future development of existing and future parks, recreational facilities and recreational programs.

The five-month master plan process consists of five phases:

• Phase 1 - Project initiation / Staff & Stakeholder Interviews (April)

• Phase 2 - Park and Recreation Needs Analysis / Public Input (May)

• Phase 3 - Existing Programs, Organizational Structure, Funding and Facilities Analysis (June)

• Phase 4 - Preliminary Comprehensive Master Plan Reports and Presentations (July)

• Phase 5 - Final Comprehensive Master Plan Reports and Presentations (August)

The City has contracted with Lose & Associates, a firm with over 25 years experience in park design and master planning to conduct the City's Park and Recreation Master Plan. Lose & Associates has worked with several city and county agencies in the southeast region including Gwinnett County GA, Gainesville GA, Rockdale County GA, Cherokee County GA and Williamson County TN.

Citizen input is critical to the successful completion of the City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The best way for citizens to participate and provide input to the Master Plan is to attend one of our four Public Input Meetings (see schedule below).
