ATLANTA moves up ⬆️ to #18 from #49 on the @trustforpublicland 2026 ParkScore Rankings!

Check out more from @parkpride: “Each year, TPL analyzes the 100 most populous cities across the U.S. to see how they rank on metrics like park access, size, investment and equity. Last year, we ranked #21, and a decade ago, we sat at #51. This progress didn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of strong commitments, deep investments, and intentional partnerships.” Thanks to #parkpride’s continued work in our community, #freedomparkconservancy has been awarded a $125,000 matching Park Pride Grant to support the “Find Your Way in Freedom Park” campaign. This transformative initiative will bring new and improved wayfinding signage, maps, and gateway markers to Atlanta’s largest linear park. In launching our campaign, we set out to answer essential questions about what makes #FreedomPark unique. That task helped to define the Conservancy’s mission & path forward through the development of four park pillars based on distinct attributes. Such as the park’s Legacy, which recognizes the years-long civic activism by intown neighbors to stop multiple highways from cutting through Atlanta’s historic communities. As well as highlighting the park’s unique identity as Atlanta’s only Art Park. The four pillars now serve as the foundation of the campaign, expressed through these defining themes: 🕊️ Freedom is Your Nobel Peace Park 🎨 Freedom is Your Art Park 🌳 Freedom is Your Intown Greenway Park 🌎 Freedom is Our Legacy Park ✨ Noteworthy: Freedom Park is the only park in the world that connects two Nobel Peace Centers. 🌿 Join Park Pride TONIGHT at 7pm at Atlanta City Hall to advocate for an increased budget for parks!
