The Marietta Daily Journal – Smyrna works on 10 year parks plan

SMYRNA — City officials want to determine the future of Smyrna’s park system with a 10-year plan.

The master plan is being developed by Atlanta-based GreenRock Partners for $29,000, and Steve Ciaccio, director of the Smyrna Parks and Recreation Department, hopes to have it completed by the end of August. GreenRock will present its findings from public surveys and meetings and take comments during a meeting at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Smyrna Community Center, 200 Village Green Circle.

“The previous (master plan) entailed a lot of things that ultimately came to fruition,” Ciaccio said.

He points to the creation of parks, including North Cooper Lake Park and River Line Park, among others, as success stories of the last plan.

They wouldn’t have happened without a $22 million park bond approved by voters in 2005, and that money has dried up.
