Recreation Projects

Recreation Projects Overview

Benefits
Recreation SPLOST Exposure to nature in parks, gardens and natural areas can improve psychological and social health. Parks, playgrounds, greenways, trails, and community open spaces promote physical activity to maintain fitness and health and to enhance the overall quality of life desired within Peachtree City.
The overall goal is to maintain and enhance the quality of life experienced by our residents through ensuring residents a safe and healthy environment in which to live, work and enjoy leisure time; promoting a sense of community through family-oriented activities and citizen involvement; and strategically locating resources to maximize access.

Needs Assessment
Peachtree City has a long tradition of supporting parks and recreational activities through the use of 416 acres of parkland including multiple nature areas, playgrounds, and recreational facilities. Many of the buildings and athletic facilities require constant maintenance, repairs, and renovations to prevent deterioration and increase service life. Parks and facilities support over 150,000 visits per year. Increases in population, demographic changes, and the increased popularity of sports and activities result in many requests for modified, improved, and/or renovated facilities. For the 2023 SPLOST, Peachtree City is prioritizing a redevelopment of the old community garden site on Kelly Drive, permanent restrooms for our popular Drake Field, a major replacement and expansion project for City playgrounds, and a new pickleball facility.
