If you've got plans to go hiking along the beautiful Vickery Creek Trail in Old Mill Park this week, you may want to come up with some contingency plans.

Old Mill Park in Roswell will be temporarily closed for resurfacing, according to the City of Roswell's Facebook page.

But it will only be closed on Wednesday, July 20 and Thursday, July 21 and will reopen on Friday, July 22.

OLD MILL PARK WILL BE CLOSED tomorrow, July 20, and Thursday, July 21, for parking lot resurfacing. We apologize for any...

Posted by City of Roswell, Georgia Government on Tuesday, July 19, 2016

If you need some suggestions for hiking and biking trails when the park is closed, try the Big Creek Greenway, Jones Bridge Trail or other trails in North Fulton.
