The Parks and Natural Beauty of Habersham ...
Prior to the first conceptual layout , an extensive tree survey of more than 3,500 trees , topography map , an aerial map and archeological map were developed . The Habersham plan was intricately laid among the delicate landscape . Areas of environmental beauty were designated as parks and greenways . Recreational parks provide a place for active residents while passive parks create a place to
relax in the shade and “ tot-lots ” are smaller green spaces that provide children ’ s play areas . Planners wanted to create wonderful public spaces all around the homes so that residents are naturally drawn outdoors to spend more time on the miles of walking trails and getting to know neighbors . When walking around the neighborhood , one can truly appreciate the preservation efforts involved .
