Peachtree City, Georgia, established in 1959, is a master-planned city situated southwest of Atlanta. The city features a host of amenities, including three golf courses, two lakes, a 2,200 seat amphitheater, a state-of-the-art tennis center, an indoor swimming complex and numerous other recreational facilities. Peachtree City’s unique system of paved recreational paths is enjoyed by pedestrians, bicycles, and golf carts. The 100-mile network of paths connects neighborhoods, retail centers, churches, schools, and recreation areas, using tunnels and bridges to safely cross major thoroughfares. The Peachtree City Police Department is an Internationally Accredited Police Agency consisting of 67 police officers for a city population of approximately 40,000 residents.

The City of Peachtree City is a unique city developed under a village concept. The city is separated into five (5) villages (Braelinn, Kedron, Aberdeen, Glenloch, etc). Each “village” is almost self-sustaining in amenities. Each village has its own banks, grocery stores, schools, health care, reaction areas, and grocery stores. A commuter can travel in his village by the way of the city’s 100-mile multi-use cart path system. Multi-use paths can be used by low speed gas and electronic vehicles, electric bikes, golf carts, bicycles, and pedestrians. These cart paths connect the city between villages, shopping centers, governmental agencies, and subdivisions. The concept involves innovative commuter planning, in that, once a commuter is home from work he or she can simple use the city’s cart path system to conduct any leisure activity or business within that village. This concept is unique for Georgia and one of only a few in the United States.
