A selection committee will choose four stellar City parks to highlight on the 2008 Parks Tour. A community representative from each park will illustrate why their greenspace is one that makes “Parks the Pride of Atlanta.” To show appreciation for the respective communities’ dedication, each park featured on the tour receives a Park Pride micro-grant of $500, which will be used by the community group for improvements to their park.
