our mission

For 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.
