Earlier this year, strong winds toppled trees in the Flat Creek Nature Area, destroying a section of the southern boardwalk.

The boardwalk remains closed due to concerns that other trees weakened by the storm may fall.  

City Council is considering ways to repair & reopen the boardwalk. We want to hear from you on how we make the Flat Creek Nature Area safe for all.

Not all applicants will be selected to participate.

The running track at Riley Field in Peachtree City officially reopened on Tuesday, June 28, much to the delight of local runners and athletes.

After undergoing renovations and improvements, the track was eagerly anticipated by the community. Mayor Kim Learnard and City Manager Bob Curnow did the honors of cutting the ribbon before the first race.



Runners of all ages and skill levels gathered at the newly christened running surface, ready to put their training to the test. The reopening of the track not only provided a safe and reliable facility for athletes to pursue their passion but also acted as a hub for fostering a sense of camaraderie among the running community in Peachtree City.
