Rock Mill Environmental Park
Alpharetta, Georgia
Rock Mill Environmental Park is a passive recreational park that serves as an educational exhibit for the City of Alpharetta. This unique park is multi-use in nature, serving the public as well as operating as a maintenance center for Recreation and Parks Department personnel. The site is located within the 100-year floodplain of Big Creek and offered numerous design challenges. The design emphasized the integration of stormwater quality treatment facilities including bioretention cells, enhanced swales and constructed wetlands. Dispersed throughout the park is informational signage educating the Park’s users on the various stormwater quality treatment facilities as well as the area’s native wildlife, habitats and Cherokee history.
