COMMUNITY it Dunwoody n A MP TRAIL CONNECTION TO 14 B PLAYGROUND (4-12 YEARSI C PLAYGROUND 11-5 YEARSI CITY OF DUNWOODY Plans for the 5-acre park in the Georgetown area include two playgrounds, an amphitheater, picnicking spots and a large, open field. Residents can weigh in on new park plan on Nov. 19 BY JOE EARLE joeearle@reporternewspapers.net 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.’” Dunwoody Government Calendar The Dunwoody City Council usually meets the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at Dunwoody City Hall located at 41 Perimeter Center East Suite No. 103.
