Welcome
Sandy Springs, Georgia is
a great place to live, work, and play. The Sandy Springs Council of
Neighborhoods (SSCN) is a volunteer group of Home Owner Association Officers (HOAs)
who pool our knowledge of local regulations, policies and key contacts. We work with elected officials, citizens, community
organizations and businesses to keep Sandy Springs' neighborhoods strong and
vibrant.
Here is a link to our current newsletter. Sign up to receive it monthly by clinking here.
A New / Old Riverside Park?
The City of Sandy Springs is considering the purchase of a 22 acre lot on the Chattahoochee River to create a riverside park. The property is currently owned by Fulton County. Initial proposals show about three acres of this land could include several park features including a playground, restrooms, parking area and walking trails. Neighbors near the proposed site recently met with Council members Chip Collins and Karen McEnerny where initial plans and community feedback were addressed. Homeowners raised concerns regarding traffic, parking, and intrusion of their backyards. Others expressed concern regarding protecting the natural environment and adjacent river. Councilman Collins assured the neighbors that plan specifics were not firm and future planning would involve their input.
Green space and the opportunity to enjoy and explore the wonderful natural areas of our city are important to most of us. What we may not agree on is how best to do so. SSCN has no official position on this and is waiting to hear the final wishes of the neighboring HOAs. We look forward to seeing community involvement on this project.
