Since 1993, the City of Atlanta has cut the number of parks and recreation employees in half.
Among the 25 largest cities, none has a smaller percent of its land dedicated to parks.
Too many residents do not feel safe in too many of our parks.
The Parks Atlanta Rescue Coalition (PARC), a coalition of community leaders, park advocates and environmental organizations, has rallied around the 2009 Act to Save Atlanta's Parks (ASAP)!

Park Atlanta Rescue Coalition
Partnerships are the foundation for all that Park Pride does, and our advocacy and education efforts are no exception. PARC is a coalition of groups that advocate for Atlanta-area parks. On the second Thursday of every month at 7:30am, Park Pride brings together community leaders and park advocates from throughout Atlanta for education, networking and strategy. Representatives from dozens of Friends of the Park Groups, Park Conservancies and the parks department visit a different park to learn more about the community efforts in that park, discuss current park and greenspace issues and support each other in efforts to improve our parks and our park system.
Please join us on the second Thursday of the month for our next PARC meeting.
