About
Park Pride believes great parks have the power to improve our quality of life and strengthen the fabric of our cities. When parks meet the needs and reflect the unique character of the communities they serve, they feel safe and welcoming for all members of the community to gather, play, relax, and connect with nature, encouraging mental and physical health and enhancing the resilience of our neighborhoods. This is the power of parks.
Park Pride’s comprehensive set of programs provide support for over 150 community groups stewarding over 200 parks in the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County. By blending community vision with professional planning, targeted investment, leadership development, and policy advocacy, we help build a park system that improves public health, strengthens neighborhoods, and enriches life for everyone who calls Atlanta home.
Atlanta is a city in constant motion, full of energy, growth, and new development. Parks are where that energy finds room to breathe – where we gather with neighbors, play, relax, and enjoy the natural environment close to home.
Parks also strengthen the communities around them, with lasting benefits for public health, environmental sustainability, and neighborhood vitality. Parks are the common ground that’s shaped by the character of each neighborhood.
