Budget proposes park refreshes, one new parks superintendent position
Summary
Johns Creek's FY2026 proposal includes funding for park refreshes (Newtown Park clubhouse restrooms, cricket cages at Shake Ragg, smaller projects at Martin Road, State Bridge parks and Autry Mill Nature Preserve) and requests one new recurring parks field superintendent position.
Staff outlined several recreation-and-parks investments in the proposed FY2026 budget, including Newtown Park clubhouse restroom repairs, cricket cages at Shake Ragg, and smaller refresh projects at Martin Road, State Bridge and Autry Mill Nature Preserve. Kaye noted the city manages more than 400 acres of parkland and that the budget includes funding for needed building repairs and upkeep.
The budget requests one new recurring position—a parks field superintendent—to help manage maintenance and asset refreshes. Staff said park refreshes and some building repairs are budgeted in the capital and accrual funds and emphasized that ongoing maintenance across the 400+ acres is a continuing operational need.
