The emphasis on green space continues from the neighborhoods to the City’s four parks — Autry Mill Nature Preserve and Heritage Center, Newtown Park (which includes a dog park), Ocee Park, and Shakerag Park.  The park spaces include playing fields, playgrounds and picnic areas, dog parks, and walking/running trails, as well as creek areas perfect for hiking and areas preserving historic groves of oak trees.  Additionally, the city boasts five units of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, giving local access to the 48-mile section of the Chattahoochee River National Park.

The city government provides the majority of public services to its residents, including Police and Fire and it’s own new 9-1-1 emergency services.  It has a City Council/City Manager form of government.
