On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM, Cherokee Recreation and Parks is holding the Woodworth Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 2700 Old Highway 92 in Acworth. Woodworth Park is a new 56-acre Cherokee County park in southwest Cherokee with access to Highway 92, and Phase 1 is the first slice of a plan the county has been working on for years.
If you live near Old Highway 92, shop the Acworth mailing-address market, or are simply trying to separate the county's date from what you saw elsewhere online, this post walks through what the county has published: the ceremony date, what Phase 1 includes, what is planned for later phases, and how the park fits the Southwest Cherokee Parks and Trails Plan.
Woodworth Park is a new 56-acre park at 2700 Old Highway 92, Acworth, GA 30102. Cherokee Recreation and Parks lists the ribbon cutting for Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM on the official park page.
County officials and Recreation and Parks staff broke ground on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. The Board of Commissioners awarded the construction contract to Vertical Earth, LLC in September 2025. The park sits in southwest Cherokee County with immediate access to Highway 92, near Old Alabama Road and Hunt Road.
One practical note before you put it on the calendar: the county has published the ceremony date and time, and it has not published public hours or same-day access rules on the park page. Confirm the latest details on the Woodworth Park page before you go.
Phase 1 covers the basics that make a park usable on day one. Combining the county's Phase 1 wording across the park page and the 2025-2026 project releases, Phase 1 includes the park entrance, parking, restrooms, a playground, an event (flex) lawn, and walking trails.
That is a starter kit, not the finished picture. Playgrounds and a flex lawn give people a reason to stop. Trails and parking make short visits easy. Athletic fields and a recreation center are not part of this first phase.
As of the county page checked for this post, the Phase 1 sentence still says construction is underway even while the ribbon-cutting date is posted. Treat November 10 as the ceremony date the county has announced. Do not assume the park is already operating under regular public hours until Cherokee Recreation and Parks updates that language.
Later phases are planned to add athletic fields, expanded trail systems, and Cherokee County's third recreation and senior center. County materials tied to the September 2025 construction award have also described a splash pad, more parking, and a proposed canopy walk among future ideas.
Timing for those later phases is not fixed on the current park page. The honest read is that Phase 1 is the part with a ceremony date, and everything after that is planned for later phases. When you see a render or a neighbor's rumor about fields or a rec center, check whether it is on the Phase 1 list or in the future amenities section before treating it as open.
The address is exact: 2700 Old Highway 92, Acworth, GA 30102, in southwest Cherokee County. The county chose the site for access to Highway 92. District 4 Commissioner Corey Ragsdale, quoted in the county's groundbreaking coverage, put the location case this way: "Having a large park in southwest Cherokee with immediate access to Highway 92 will allow everyone to enjoy the park."
He also tied the site to future walking and biking access: "Part of our plan is to connect the park to nearby developments with sidewalks and multi-use paths. Accessibility is one of the most important factors in choosing this park location, and residents will be able to access the park by walking or biking."
Treat those sidewalk and multi-use path connections as future work unless the county marks them complete. For drivers, Old Highway 92 and Highway 92 are the practical approach today. For anyone comparing nearby streets in Acworth, Brookstone, Hampshire Village, or Governor's Towne Club, the park is one more amenity on the Cherokee side of the Acworth mailing-address map.
Woodworth Park was identified as a priority in the Southwest Cherokee Parks and Trails Plan. The county developed that plan in 2019 and 2020 with public input and the Board of Commissioners adopted it on April 20, 2021, as an amendment to the 2019-2028 Cherokee County Recreation, Parks Green Space & Trails Master Plan.
In plain terms, the park is not a one-off surprise on Old Highway 92. It is the first phase of a southwest Cherokee parks and trails idea that has been on the books since 2021, after a couple of years of study. The plan also looked at concept plans for parcels in southwest Cherokee and at potential routes for trail connections among parks, schools, neighborhoods, and employment centers in that part of the county.
If you want the long version, Cherokee Recreation and Parks links the Southwest Cherokee Parks & Trails Plan from the Woodworth Park page.
An Acworth mailing address does not always mean the City of Acworth, and it does not always mean Cobb County. Woodworth Park's address is Acworth, GA 30102, and the park itself is a Cherokee County Recreation and Parks project in southwest Cherokee. That county-line detail matters when you are comparing taxes, schools, and services street by street.
We have already written that out for buyers in What an Acworth address actually means. The short version for this park: use the tax bill and the county GIS, not the ZIP code alone, when you are trying to understand a specific property near Old Highway 92.
Nearby living context on our site includes Living in Acworth, Brookstone, Hampshire Village, and Governor's Towne Club. On the Woodstock side of southwest Cherokee, Towne Lake and Eagle Watch are useful comparison pages.
Acworth already has parks people drive to on purpose. Cauble Park sits on Lake Acworth. Logan Farm Park is the big destination playground near downtown. Our best parks and lakeside trails in Acworth guide covers the water-side list.
Woodworth is a different kind of addition: a new Cherokee County park on the Hwy 92 corridor, starting with playgrounds, trails, and a flex lawn, with fields and a recreation and senior center planned for later phases. It does not replace the lake parks. It adds a southwest Cherokee option for people whose weekly routes already run along Highway 92.
Confirm the ceremony on the official Woodworth Park page the morning you leave. The county has published Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM, and that is the date this post uses. It has not published a visitor-hours schedule or a same-day public-access rule on that page, so do not treat a neighbor's text thread as the hours policy.
If you are driving from Cobb-side Acworth streets, give yourself a few extra minutes for Highway 92 traffic. If you live closer to Old Alabama Road or Hunt Road, follow the county's address to 2700 Old Highway 92 rather than hunting for a finished park entrance on a mapping pin that may still lag construction.
Bring the same habits you would to any new county park opening: watch for temporary fencing, unfinished trail edges, and staff directing cars. Phase 1 is an entrance, parking, restrooms, playground, flex lawn, and walking trails. It is not yet the full athletic-field and recreation-center version described for later phases.
Start with the official page: playcherokee.org/parks/woodworth-park/. That is the source for the ribbon-cutting date, the address, the acreage, Phase 1 amenities, and the future amenities list. The county Communications groundbreaking release and the September 2025 Vertical Earth award release fill in the contractor and plan history.
If the county changes the ceremony date, hours, or Phase 1 list, that park page is the place to check first. We will update this post if the published facts change.
