CANTON, GA (Aug. 2, 2023) – Cherokee Recreation and Parks will display conceptual park designs and solicit feedback from residents both in person and online for the future Hickory Flat Area Park.
Residents will have the opportunity to view the proposed designs and give feedback at a public input meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 10 at the historic Hickory Flat Gym located at 4835 Hickory Road in Canton. A virtual comment option will also be available starting Aug. 11, which will include a brief summary about project site conditions and a conceptual draft. The virtual comment period will close on Aug. 27.
Last April, the Board of Commissioners approved a Professional Services Agreement with Lose Design in the amount of $43,250 for land use planning and design services for the future 40-acre park master plan in the Hickory Flat community. The park is located at 3552 East Cherokee Drive in Canton.
As the master planning concludes, Lose Design will provide the county with conceptual design considerations, costs analysis and executive support reports from the research and public input meetings.
