To best plan for the future and prioritize investments for its Recreation and Parks Division, the city of Johns Creek needs your help to make that happen.

After spending the month of April gathering data and speaking with some of the current recreation providers, a planning team is gearing up to hear directly from park users.

The city has mailed out 4,000 postcards to randomly selected households across Johns Creek. If you or anyone you know receives the postcard invitation, please type in the link, access code and take the survey.

Even if you did not receive a postcard invitation to take the survey, the city still wants your feedback. An open access version of the survey is available online.

Resident are also invited to a double-header public workshop on Monday, May 18. Both sessions will begin with a short presentation followed by small-group exercises and discussions designed to solicit input and suggestions.

Session times and locations are:

• 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Community Room at the Johns Creek Fire Station #62, 10925 Rogers Circle
• 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Park Place at Newtown Park, 3125 Old Alabama Road

If the online survey or larger public meetings don’t work for you, over the next six weeks we’ll also have the consultant out at a table during pre-movie festivities at Movies at Newtown Park (June 13) and during pre-concert festivities at the Amphitheater at Newtown Park (June 20).

With all of the input gathered, the consultant team will analyze and formulate their preliminary recommendations. Those general concepts, alternatives and preliminary ideas for recommendations will be presented at another public workshop double-header on Tuesday, July 21.

The presentation will be followed by small-group exercises and discussions by the public:

• 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Johns Creek Fire Station #62, 10925 Rogers Circle
• 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Park Place at Newtown Park, 3125 Old Alabama Road

You’re also welcome to share your thoughts directly with the project team, led by Assistant City Manager Kimberly Greer, by emailing Kimberly.Greer@JohnsCreekGA.gov or by calling 678-512-3200.

The draft plan is tentatively expected to be presented to the Mayor and City Council on Aug. 24 with a final plan possibly ready by the Sept. 14 regular City Council meeting.

Both meetings will include opportunities for public comment.
