DUNWOODY, Ga. — The City of Dunwoody is asking for public feedback regarding a park proposal.
The city began the master planning process for two new park properties in July 2021.
It includes plans for park properties at 5435 Roberts Drive and at 4809, 4819 Vermack Road.
Since meeting in July, the master plan for the park at 5435 Roberts Drive was approved, Dunwoody's Parks and Recreation Director Brent Walker said.
Now, the city is focused on soliciting additional community feedback for the park on Vermack Road that still requires approval by the city, Walker added.
"We're going to take a little more time to get feedback from our constituents and that's paramount in our process. We want to make sure we build the parks that our communities want," Walker said.
