Henderson Park Master Plan Community Survey

The City of Tucker is developing a community-driven master plan for Henderson Park with the goal of elevating the 120-acre park into a premier public space that provides both active and passive amenities while enhancing the natural features of the site. Your responses to these questions will help guide the direction of the master plan for Henderson Park.

Estimated time: 5-10 minutes for the main survey, with an optional section at the end for additional feedback.
