Snellville residents should mark their calendars now to attend the final meeting opportunity to provide input on the T.W. Briscoe Park Master Plan update 6:30 to 8 p.m. Sept. 19 at City Hall, 2342 Oak Road.
The more than two dozen who attended the first meeting on Aug. 15 chose five items or improvements they’d like to see at the park – a gymnasium, hiking trails, splash pad and indoor meeting rooms. The forums are designed to identify the needs of the community as part of Phase III of the park’s Master Plan update.
“Once we get feedback from the September meeting we will buckle down and try to get a more specific building design and items that are of high priority onto an actual design board showing all of the park and possible new additions,” said Parks and Recreation Director Lisa Platt.
Once the specifics are determined, the Park Advisory Board then Snellville’s mayor and council will approve the proposals and determine funding sources for the improvements.
“We want residents to come to the Sept. 19 meeting and let us know what they see at the park,” Platt said. “We depend on residents’ input to make these changes. If you’d like to see something at the park, please attend the meeting and let us know.”
