               Miles of Walking Trails                   letter finds you in the best of health
                                                         and high spirits as we eagerly
                                                         anticipate the arrival of another
                                                         vibrant summer in our beautiful
                        25+                              city. It is with immense pleasure and a

                        Parks                            sense of community pride that I share
                                                         some exciting updates to projects
                                                         that will enhance our already amazing
                                                         park system. In November 2022, voters
                         13                              overwhelmingly approved $107.6 million
                                                         for recreation and parks, bike and pedestrian paths, and sidewalks.

                                                         This past year we began making those promised projects a reality.
                                                         We have already cut the ribbon on new turf fields at East Roswell
                                                         Park, Roswell Area Park as well as Groveway Community Park’s
                          3                              upper and lower fields. These upgrades to durable and safety-
                     Dog Parks                           focused turf aim to improve the overall field system, ensuring a
                                                         lasting positive impact and safeguarding our athletes. Additionally,
                                                         the lower field at Groveway Community Park has undergone ADA
                                                         accessibility enhancements, facilitating easier movement between
                          4                              the field and the parking lot. The interior of the Dobbs building has

                    Free Libraries                       been revitalized, featuring new restrooms to create a brighter and
                                                         more efficient space for the entire community to enjoy.

                                                         Back in 2015, the City created the River Parks Master Plan. The plan
                          4                              sat on a shelf until this Mayor and Council took office. Your Mayor
                                                         and Council have budgeted $6 million to date and an additional
                Recreation Centers                       $25 million was approved in the bond to make this plan a reality.
                                                         We have already begun work on Don White Park and the Ace
                                                         Sand property. This plan will transform our River Parks in the
                                                         coming years.

                                                         families flourish, and our parks stand as a testament to the
                                                         strength and unity of our community. Thank you for your continued
                                                         support, and I look forward to a summer filled with shared joy and
