Park Pride invests $3.5M in park projects

From playgrounds to pathways, Atlanta’s parks are getting a major boost! Park Pride recently awarded $3.5 million to 19 capital projects across the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County. With a strong commitment to advancing park equity, over 60% of these funds are invested in park projects in historically disinvested communities.

our mission

For 35 years, Park Pride has engaged communities to activate the power of parks. Parks have the power to increase quality of life. They promote community engagement, health, safety, and revitalization. They make citizens happy, communities strong, and cities sustainable.  Park Pride's programs, leadership, and funding helps communities unlock these benefits in parks across Atlanta.
