Alpharetta plans Old Rucker Park community meetings

Alpharetta has announced three public meetings in March where residents can view and comment on proposed designs for the future Old Rucker Park, a 9.9-acre tract at 900 Rucker Road.

City officials and representatives of the Recreation, Parks & Cultural Services Department will be on hand to discuss the plans and listen to residents at three community input sessions, 5-7 p.m. Thursday, March 19, at City Hall; 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at Old Rucker Park; and 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, at City Hall.

“Community feedback and input is vital to the park planning process, and we value the opinions of our residents,” said Alpharetta Council Member Jason Binder, the council’s liaison to the parks department.
