Milton residents are invited to join staff of the city’s Parks and Recreation and Community Development departments at 7 p.m., Jan. 9, to discuss the community input and survey results for the Providence Park Master Plan.

Consultants from Barge, Wagoner, Sumner & Cannon will join the discussion in Council Chambers of Milton City Hall to talk about the community input process to date, officials said.

Providence Park is a former Fulton County park that was closed for 12 years until Milton acquired it, cleaned it up and reopened it in November 2016. The property is off Providence Road east of Crabapple.

Plans for the 42-acre park calls for restrooms, bike racks, benches, signage, information kiosks, a fishing dock, rock climbing, zip lines, campsites, a performing arts area and a nature center.
