Georgia City Parks - Alpharetta

THE GREENWAYS SYSTEM

Alpharetta’s unique qualities of livability, small community, and environmental harmony are being fostered by the development of a multi-purpose greenways system that will connect and create open spaces and parks throughout the City. Four miles of concrete and mulch paths are now open to the public. The 12’ wide concrete paths offer walking, jogging, inline blading and biking. Parking is provided on Preston Ridge Drive near the YMCA and on North Point Parkway next to Home Life furniture store. Heated restrooms are provided at the latter parking area. The greenway trails close at sundown. You are advised to use the greenway the same as when you swim – take a buddy for greater safety. An additional 2.7 miles of concrete trail will be completed by January 2000. For more information on the Greenway System call (678) 297-6104.
