Parks & Greenspace Conference

Monday, March 24, 2025 | Atlanta Botanical Garden | 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.

And just like that – another Park Pride Parks & Greenspace Conference is in the books! 

On Monday, March 24, over 500 of our closest friends and park champions gathered at the Atlanta Botanical Garden (with gloriously colorful seas of tulips in full bloom) to talk all things parks and greenspaces.

Our annual Conference is about more than just parks. It’s about the environment, community, urbanism, learning and building connections – just to name a few. The day perfectly exemplified the power of parks and embodied the spirit of our theme, Connecting on Common Ground. Simply put, parks are more than “just parks.” But we’re preaching to the choir on that one. A huge thank you to our speakers, sponsors and attendees!

See snapshots of the day!
