*The Atlanta Community Tool Bank is a non-profit organization that rents tools to other non-profits, schools, churches, and other charitable organizations. They rent their tools at a nominal fee of 3% of the tool’s value. The ACTB has tools for any projects that include building, landscaping, painting, farming, and gardening. They also have an events section that includes items such as tables, chairs, tents, and games for any special event.

All Friends of the Park group projects are required to pay for and pick up their own tool orders unless otherwise instructed by the Director of Community Services. Any Friends of the Park groups that are interested in having their own account can set up a login and password with the tool lending specialist under our Friends of the Parks account. If volunteer groups have a one-time request, Park Pride can put in the order for the group.

ATCB is located at 410 Englewood Ave, Atlanta, GA 30315. ATCB is APPOINTMENT ONLY. Their hours are Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:00pm. The latest appointment you can get is 4:30pm. Your order must be received with a 48 hours advance notice. Your appointment to pick up is not final until confirmed.
