Tour the Historic Fourth Ward Park with Kwanza

Meet Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall for coffee and doughnuts in the new Historic Fourth Ward Park.

Hall, who represents District 2 that includes Atlantic Station and West Midtown, and other guests will give walking tours of the new park at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 19, and Saturday, March 26. The park is located one block south of the former City Hall East on North Avenue and one block east of Glen Iris Drive. Vehicular parking is limited. 

“There is so much good news coming from the Old Fourth Ward these days,” Hall said Friday in an announcement. “During the worst recession that most of us have lived through, this neighborhood has been bustling with new development, new residents, new green space, and dynamic restaurants and retail.

"Three years after the completion of our master planning process for the neighborhood, we wanted to give neighbors and friends of the Old Fourth Ward a chance to be inspired by our hard work as a community.”

The park was constructed through a partnership between residents, business stakeholders, the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Beltline, Inc. It features a lake that catches storm water runoff, a pedestrian boardwalk, natural vegetation and a small outdoor theatre. Click here for more information about the park. 

Hall’s guests on March 19 include Watershed Commissioner Dexter White and Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs Commissioner George Dusenbury. Guests on March 26 include Kevin Burke from Atlanta BeltLine, Inc.
