Woodstock Seeks Feedback On Trickum Road Park

WOODSTOCK, GA -- The city of Woodstock wants to hear your ideas on the new park coming to Trickum Road. The Woodstock Parks and Recreation Department will host a public input session at 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4 at the Chambers at City Center to allow you to provide feedback on what type of amenities should be added to the new park.

City leaders in October ratified the purchase of 24.42 acres of land along Trickum Road near Little River, which adds to the 40.7 acres the city previously acquired east of the thoroughfare and 36.32 acres donated earlier this year to the Greenprints Alliance, the group formed to help create a network of trails and park land around he city.

When fully assembled, the land will total just over 100 acres and will provide residents with passive recreation opportunities. While final amenities are open to stakeholder input and discussion, the Greenprints Plan approved by the city in 2008 contemplates multi-use trail on a portion of this site.

Some of the benefits of the acquisition include preservation of open space, protection of Little River and the Etowah River basin, additional trails with a possible canoe launch site and passive recreation opportunities.

The Chambers at City Center is at 8534 Main Street.
