City Green is a four-acre park that is ideal for gatherings, festivals, and outdoor concerts. Shaded areas are designed for a quiet game of chess, a good book, or simply a good vantage point to people watch. The City Green boasts water features, inspired by the springs that give the city its name and were inspired by the City’s beautiful neighbor – the Chattahoochee River.
The walkway through the City Green features pedestrian-friendly wide sidewalks, a water wall and shade bosque, creating an inviting and dynamic experience for residents as they enjoy a leisurely stroll and the splash pad, an interactive fountain for kid play.
A covered stage provides space for outdoor concerts. The park will also serve as an outdoor “gallery” space featuring sculptures as part of an annual public art competition in conjunction with ArtSandySprings.
