Johns Creek recently opened a new pocket park at 10610 State Bridge Road, just east of the intersection of West Morton and State Bridge roads.

The 4-acre passive park features an urban forest with a 0.3-mile natural walking surface trail loop that meanders through young pines, established magnolia trees, and more species. The park also features a picnic table near the trail entrance, new landscaping, and a concrete sidewalk providing pedestrian access from the State Bridge Road sidewalk.

According to Johns Creek Parks Manager Robby Newtown, the park is a very safe and secure area to enjoy what nature has to offer.
