City To Renovate East Roswell Park Entrance

ROSWELL, GA — The city of Roswell will soon begin a project designed to improve the East Roswell Park entrance off Fouts Road.

The city said this update will provide a "better experience for visitors, neighbors, and volunteers." All Roswell residents are invited to attend a public walk-thru of the area where these renovations will be taking place at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 26.

These renovations will include:

• Replacing the landmark sign and landscaping the front entrance, making it clearly visible and easily recognizable from the road.
• Increasing trail connectivity and minimizing vehicle and pedestrian crossings by completing the loop trail around the perimeter of the park.
• Creating an outdoor gathering area in front of the Art Center for classes, events, and activities.
• Creating ADA parking for The Art Center at East Roswell Park.

In order to complete these renovations, the city will be removing a number of trees to allow for an easily accessible, ADA-compliant parking lot at The Art Center at East Roswell Park. The majority of the trees will be replaced with a variety of hard wood, flowering, and evergreen species.

Phase one of this project, which includes tree removal and parking lot construction, will take place February through May.
