explore our report

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.

our mission

For 35 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.

Volunteer in parks

Join an upcoming volunteer day to give back to the greenspaces that give so much to us. Alternatively, we can work together to plan a custom volunteer experience, an ideal option for businesses or corporations (or other large groups) looking to make a deeper impact.
