Following an online survey and public input meeting held in October, Forsyth County Parks & Recreation will host a community input meeting to unveil the draft master plan update for Polo Fields Park (6050 Majors Road), as well as collect community feedback, at the Midway Park Community Building (5100 Post Road) from 5:00-7:00 Jan. 14.
“With a highly desirable location, iconic history and active soccer program, serving over 2,200 players
on a regular basis, Polo Fields Park was one of the most challenging, yet valuable, properties for Forsyth
County to acquire,” said Forsyth County District 3 Commissioner Todd Levent ahead of the Oct. 15
public input meeting.
“Having heard from the public at many town hall and HOA meetings over the years, I know there’s
interest in maintaining the soccer fields, improving a few with turf, adequate parking and exploring some
new features like a small amphitheater, tennis/pickleball courts, a dog park, an additional multi-purpose
athletic field, a pavilion for events, and a meandering trail with trees.”
The draft, which includes plans for future amenities and offerings in the park based on survey and in-
person feedback data collected at the October public input meeting as well as Parks & Recreation board recommendations, will be made available during the meeting as well as online at the Polo Fields Park
webpage on Jan. 14. Residents and stakeholders will have the opportunity provide their feedback on
the draft during the meeting, as well as online, beginning Jan. 14.
The finalized draft will then be brought to the Board of Commissioners during a work session meeting
for discussion and possible adoption in the Spring.
“This park belongs to the community, and your voice matters in shaping its future,” said Forsyth County
Director of Parks & Recreation Kirk Franz. “Polo Fields Park has so much potential, but the only way we
can make it a place that truly fits our families, neighbors and friends is by getting your feedback and
engagement on the park’s future.”
In addition to the Polo Fields Park master plan update, Forsyth County Parks & Recreation is also
updating its 10-year Master Plan through a multi-phased community and stakeholder engagement
process and an online survey, which is available, along with more information, by visiting
