The master plan for the 27 acres on the riverfront will be considered by the City Council in July, after a landscape architect presents a revised design.

The Sandy Springs council approved a portion of the master plan that will reconfigure and expand the youth football and baseball fields near the entrance to the park. It also approved plans for an off-leash dog park at Morgan Falls with separate enclosed areas for small and large pets.

The waterfront section of the park is expected to feature improved access to the river. The design for an area south of the Morgan Falls Dam includes a renovated boat ramp, children’s play areas, a fishing pier and the potential for a pedestrian bridge crossing to Cobb County.

The National Park Service is expected to hold a meeting with property owners and other interested parties, to discuss the possibility of the pedestrian link to national park holdings in Cobb.
