Memorials

On May 25, 2009, the city of Woodstock unveiled the new Woodstock Memorial, 10 tons of polished granite dedicated to Woodstock veterans. It reads: "To the men and women of Woodstock, Georgia who served in the armed forces of our country preserving our freedom and our way of life Erected in their honor - May 2009".^[14][15]

A one-lane bridge over Kellogg Creek along Kemp Drive was named after 15-year-old Katie Hamlin, who was murdered in 2002.^[16]

A very unique memorial in Woodstock is the one to “Bob the Turkey”. Bob the Turkey was a beloved, feathered friend whose life ended tragically in January (2012) in a hit-and-run, just steps away from his frequent perch near a Woodstock neighborhood. But thanks to one woman's mission, a talented artist and the help of a community, Bob the Turkey will continue to greet visitors to the Cherokee County town.

The Greenprints Project

The Greenprints Project^[17] calls for the construction of trails along the city's natural areas like the Little River, Noonday Creek, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' property, and in the city's core areas. Bike lanes, which within the project are considered trails, would be built along roads throughout the city.

The proposed trails would connect with existing trails elsewhere in Cherokee County as well as in the cities of Roswell and Alpharetta and Cobb County. The project also would preserve greenspace throughout the city and create new parks.

Greenprints Alliance, Inc. is a grassroots citizen action group formed in spring 2009 to advance the city of Woodstock's green infrastructure master plan known as the Greenprints Project. When complete, the project will add over 60 miles (97 km) of trails throughout the city connecting every public place, shopping area and neighborhood.^[18]
