Forsyth County officials gathered for a ribbon-cutting opening Chattahoochee Pointe Park in June of 2012.

A popular southern Forsyth County park will be shut down temporarily. Chattahoochee Pointe Park at 5790 Chattahoochee Point Drive in southern Forsyth will close Tuesday for about one week as workers coat the park trail with a polymer product. The work has been planned for a while but needed the right outdoor temperature to be done.

Park officials said the M10+50 product is a durable, long-lasting solution designed to stabilize the trail surface and cut maintenance costs, while costing less than concrete or asphalt. Chattahoochee Pointe will be the only park using the product.

The 119-acre passive park opened in 2012.
