Suwanee is in the early planning stages of a new park, and is asking citizens what they would like to see in the new space.

The 20-acre site, locally known as the DeLay Property, is behind the Suwanee library and PlayTown Suwanee on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road. Purchased in 2002 as a future park site, the property was an early acquisition in the city’s Open Space Initiative.

A brainstorming session with consultants and city hall staff was conducted in mid-May. Stakeholder interviews will take place this month and surveys have been collected at recent Town Center events.

The deadline to participate in the survey is June 20
