Survey offers chance to shape Simpsonwood changes

The Simpsonwood Steering Committee is seeking input on the Simpsonwood Park Master Plan. Located in Peachtree Corners, the park is approximately 226 acres with about 2,000 feet bordering the Chattahoochee River.

Gwinnett paid $16 million for the property last year, with $2 million of that total provided by Peachtree Corners.

Currently all buildings have been removed at a cost of close to a million dollars and the county is currently managing the facility as part of the county park system.

Survey results will help the steering committee ensure the community has input on the kinds of amenities added to the park.

Survey ends April 24.
