Snellville will conduct two public meetings as part of Phase III of the T.W. Briscoe Park Master Plan update 6 to 8 p.m. Aug. 15 at the park office, 2500 Sawyer Parkway, and 6:30 to 8 p.m. Sept. 19 at City Hall, 2342 Oak Road.
With nearly $4 million set aside in 2014 Special Local Option Sales Tax funds for renovations, city leaders want public input on how to best improve the park. One option under consideration is a multipurpose building.
“A new multipurpose building would give us better ability to provide more diverse programming, better meeting and activity rooms and better offices for efficiency,” said Parks and Recreation Director Lisa Platt. “It’s about being able to offer more options to visitors to the park. It opens a lot of options we haven’t been able to provide.”
This would be the fourth round of SPLOST improvements at the park. The first began in 2008 and included additional restrooms, additional sidewalks, a multipurpose field, parking lot improvements and a softball complex.
