parks for all

Parks fuel health, social, economic, and environmental benefits that revitalize and sustain communities. Parks are vital, yet there are Atlantans who don’t have a park in their neighborhood and many more who don’t have a quality park near home. To address disparities in park quality and access, Park Pride has launched Parks for All, its first ever comprehensive campaign.

Join the Campaign

our mission

For over 30 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.

friends of the park

Park Pride’s mission is to engage the community to activate the power of parks, and the formation of a Friends of the Park group is the first step in creating positive changes in a neighborhood park.
