The future Encore Greenway Park will be located at North Point Parkway and Encore Parkway and create a gateway feature to connect to one of North Fulton’s most valuable amenities, the Big Creek Greenway. It will provide a critical connection from the Alpha Loop to the Big Creek Greenway. This project is a partnership between the City of Alpharetta and True North 400. It will benefit the North Point corridor by providing a more robust connection between two of the region’s premier trail systems so it can be better leveraged by those who live, work, and play in the North Point area and district beyond.
