Join Amy Durrell for a 90-minute walk through a quiet corner of Freedom Park, tracing the land’s journey from 19th-century farmland to one of Atlanta’s most connected green spaces. The walk shares stories of the people who lived here and the dedicated community effort that preserved this stretch of intown Atlanta for future generations. Meet at the Peace Bell pavilion near the flags and circular drive of the Carter Library. Free parking is available at the Carter Center. Amy Durrell leads history walks throughout Atlanta and is affiliated with Freedom Park, officially designated Atlanta’s Public Art Park in 2017. The park stretches across 130 acres, linking seven historic neighborhoods and serving as a venue for world-class public art installations. About Jane’s Walk: Jane’s Walk is an annual global festival honoring the legacy of urbanist, activist, and writer Jane Jacobs with free, citizen-led walking tours through the neighborhoods that lend so much character to our cities. The festival promotes civic engagement and encourages leaders and participants to share stories about their communities and use walking as a means of connecting with their neighbors.” #freedomisyourpark #atlanta #walk
