After gathering residents’ ideas online and holding a public input meeting to show them a draft design, Alpharetta has adopted a conceptual master plan for the new, Mid-Broadwell Park.

Manley Land Design produced a conceptual rendering, and the Recreation, Parks & Cultural Services Department invited residents to a meeting in August at 1480 Mid-Broadwell Road, the future site of the neighborhood park.

The proposal received an “overwhelming response … in favor of the plan,” staff said in a report to the City Council.

The plan approved by the council, with some minor adjustments reflecting comments from the public meeting, calls for a small picnic area, a children’s nature play area, open space, trails, a restroom and a small parking lot. “The woodland area that currently takes up a large portion of the park will remain,” staff said.

The 4.1-acre park is to open next summer.
