Hall County’s Parks and Recreation Department will take over operations at Sardis Creek Park on Lake Lanier next year.
Hall County’s Board of Commissioners approved a lease agreement between the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the county on Thursday, according to officials.
Sardis Creek Park is located on 28-acres in North Hall, just off the shorelines of Lake Lanier. The park includes a boat ramp, picnic amenities, a farmhouse and undeveloped acreage ideal for hiking trails.
“This lease agreement further exemplifies the value our board of commissioners places on our parks and greenspaces and ensures our citizens and visitors continue receiving top-tier amenities and service while visiting Sardis Creek Park,” Director of Hall County Parks and Community Services Brent Holloway said.
Hall County will lease Sardis Creek Park under a 25-year no-fee lease agreement, similar to the lease agreements in place at Laurel Park, River Forks Park and Wahoo Creek Park, officials said.
“Since we already have other active lease agreements with USACE, we know what to expect and are confident this agreement will benefit the County, the park and those who frequent the area,” Holloway said. “This park has a lot of potential, including the potential to become a revenue-generating event venue, which would allow us to make even greater investments into the facility.”
