In December 2021, Atlanta City Council adopted Activate ATL, a 10-year comprehensive plan for parks and recreation that presents an extraordinary vision for an equitable, connected, and activated park system—a robust and well-maintained system that provides health benefits to all residents. But momentum in pursuit of that vision has been frustrated by inertia and barriers. In this contribution to Saporta Report’s “People, Places, and Parks,” Park Pride’s Michael Halicki and Rachel Maher discuss the need for an increased budget for park to aspire to the park system that Atlantans deserve.
