Plans for a new 5-acre city park in
clude two playgrounds, an amphithe
ater, an area for picnicking and a large,
open field.
Brent Walker, city parks and recre
ation manager, said the planned park at
Shallowford Road and Pernoshal Court
was designed to offer a number of things
residents said they wanted during public
meetings to discuss the city’s parks and
recreation programs.
“We’ve tried to squeeze all those de
sires into one concept design,” Walk
er told members of Dunwoody City
Council during their Nov. 12 meeting.
“We think we’ve hit all the buttons.”
Residents will have a chance to look
over the plans and comment on them
Nov. 19 during a city open house at St.
Patrick’s Episcopal Church, 4755 North
Peachtree Road. The meeting begins at 7
p.m. A brief presentation on the develop
ment plans for the park is scheduled for
7:15 p.m, the city said in a press release.
The city said residents unable to at
tend the meeting may email comments
on the park concept to parks@dun-
woodyga.gov.
The 5-acre park is part of the city’s
Project Renaissance development, a
project intended to provide public
parks, housing and shops in the George
town area of the city.
Several council members welcomed
the proposal, but some suggested tweaks.
Councilman Denny Shortal asked how
close the playing fields were to homes
planed in the area. Told they were about
50 feet, Shortal said that might be too
close. “Something has to be done to put
in some type of sound barrier, a buffer,”
he said.
Councilman John Heneghan sug
gested adding a basketball court. The
park plan now includes a multi-use
court which can be used for basketball
and other sports.
And Councilman Doug Thompson
said the park should be a place for ac
tive recreation.
“I’m looking at this park as a place
people go to play or to go sweat — sports,
that sort of thing,” he said. “My fear is
we will let this thing evolve more into a
passive park. My vision is, ‘Let’s get out
there and sweat.’”
