Johns Creek introduces Michael King as new recreation and parks director

Michael King was introduced to the Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee as the city's new recreation and parks director. Chris (staff) made the introduction and King told the committee, “I'm Michael King, new, recreation and parks director. I am a Johns Creek resident,” and said serving the community where his children use the parks was a primary motivation for taking the job.

King described roughly 20 years of experience in parks and recreation, including recent roles in Brookhaven and work in Louisiana. He said he moved back to Georgia to raise his family and is looking forward to coordinating programming and operations with the committee. “I look forward to meeting every 1 of you, and I'm sure there will be lots more conversations to have about that,” King said. Committee members thanked him and signaled support for his role leading events and facilities work.
