Thanks to assistance from an Atlanta Betterment Fund grant, we've been able to replace the 5 sickly ash trees that were removed from the park. All 5 new trees (about 10' tall) have been planted and are off to a good start. We hope this helps to maintain the park's beauty for generations to come! Enjoy the Playground Equipment in the park!![]() Thanks to the $25,000 grant received from the State Farm "Cause An Effects" program, and an additional grant through the equipment manufacturer, GameTime, we were able to purchase over $50,000 worth of equipment for half price. The City of Atlanta employees and numerous volunteers worked hard to assemble and install it!
