(Lawrenceville, Ga., Oct. 8, 2015) – Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation (GCPR) will hold a public meeting to discuss the master planning of Simpsonwood Park on Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. in the theatre at Norcross High School. The 2013 Parks and Recreation Capital Improvements Plan pointed out a need for a large open space park in western Gwinnett. Funded by SPLOST, Simpsonwood Park provides an opportunity to preserve green space and provide passive recreational opportunities for residents of Gwinnett. The property is predominantly forested with hardwood and evergreen trees with approximately 2,140 linear feet of river frontage along the Chattahoochee River.

Residents can also apply to serve on the Citizen Steering Committee, which will work collaboratively to help formulate a master plan for the park. Simpsonwood Park is located at 4511 Jones Bridge Circle in Peachtree Corners. For more information, please call 770-822-8855.
