Johns Creek Finally Has a Downtown (And It's Elevated)

About This Video

In this video, I walk through what just opened in Johns Creek and why it actually matters for the city's identity. The Boardwalk at Town Center is a nearly one-mile, 15-foot-wide elevated trail weaving through woods and along a creek, connecting City Hall, an amphitheater, and the upcoming Medley mixed-use development, all within a 20-acre town center. Johns Creek has had the wealth and the schools for years, but this is the first time residents have somewhere to point to when someone says meet me downtown. The grand opening is this summer, with Medley following later in 2026. For the full story, read the blog: Johns Creek Finally Has a Downtown and It Has a Boardwalk

Does Johns Creek Have a Downtown Area?

As of 2026, yes, and it is anchored by the Boardwalk at Town Center. The 20-acre property sits adjacent to City Hall, bordered by Medlock Bridge Road and stretching between Johns Creek Parkway and East Johns Crossing. It includes a bandshell, terraced seating, pond overlooks, and pedestrian plazas, giving Johns Creek a centralized gathering space for the first time since the city incorporated in 2006.
