A decade after starting the Park Visioning Department, Walt Ray has moved on from his role as the program’s Director and from Park Pride.
Luckily for us, he’ll continue to work with parks as the City of Atlanta’s Assistant Director of the Department of Park Design. In this position, Walt hopes to leverage his intimate knowledge of Atlanta’s parks and people to help the City continue to build a strong parks system for citizens. Together, we’ll continue to work to create a nationally recognized network of parks, greenspaces and trails in Atlanta.
