Alpharetta Big Creek Greenway
The Alpharetta Big Creek Greenway, or known locally as "The Greenway", is a linear park that stretches from Mansell Road in the south to Union Hill Park in the North, parallel to Big Creek. The Greenway was initially conceived of in the 1980s, with the latest portion of the Greenway being completed 2-3 years ago. There are plans to connect the Alpharetta Greenway to Forsyth County's Portion of the Greenway to allow for the enjoyment of nature by citizens and visitors alike.
