Providing year-round sports, activities and special events, the Alpharetta Recreation and Parks Department is nationally accredited and recognized for its outstanding programs for children, adults, and seniors. In addition, the department manages and operates one of the finest equestrian facilities in the southeast at Wills Park. The Greenway system along Big Creek provides a safe and environmentally pleasing pathway for users to enjoy quiet leisure time. 

Heavy rains and local flooding may result in temporary closure of portions of the Greenway.  To find out today’s status, please call the Parks Services Division at 678-297-6123. During the winter season, some park restrooms may be closed to prevent frozen pipes. For information on recreation programs and services, please email recreation@alpharetta.ga.us

YOUTH SOCCER UPDATE:
The Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Alpharetta and Ambush Elite will end at the end of the current soccer season 2009-2010 (May 31, 2010).  It has become apparent that the MOU as written today does not meet the needs of both entities.  The MOU and related field usage partnership between Ambush Elite and the City will continue to remain in effect through May 31, 2010 with no impact to existing Ambush and Ambush Elite select teams.  The termination of the MOU allows Ambush Elite the flexibility and permission to continue progress towards solidifying partnerships for future expansion in North Fulton and surrounding areas.  The City will continue to offer an organized program including recreational, academy, and select soccer programs serving the Alpharetta residents.
