Friends of the Park Groups

Though they vary greatly in terms of size, scope of work, and influence, all Friends of the Park groups operate with a single purpose of improving a park or greenspace. This list includes our Friends of the Parks Groups in the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County.

Those groups with more detailed information have clickable links. If you’d like to connect with a Friends of the Park group that does not have contact information listed, please reach out to our Community Building team, at friends@parkpride.org.
