The Future of Atlanta’s Gathering Place

For over 120 years, Piedmont Park has been Atlanta’s greatest gathering place, with a deep cultural and physical history closely tied to the city. Today, defining a vision for the future of Atlanta’s signature public space is critical, preparing the park to adapt to the growth and development of 21st century Atlanta.

As the Piedmont Park Conservancy celebrates its 35th Anniversary we are excited to be developing a new Piedmont Park Comprehensive Plan, in partnership with the City of Atlanta, intended to guide the evolution of the park for decades to come. This new Comprehensive Plan is a group project, seeking to reflect the needs and desires of every Atlantan as we pursue a park—and city—reflective of Dr. King’s vision of a Beloved Community.

Your Place in the Park

Community input is integral to the success of this plan. This website provides opportunities to share your experiences, needs, desires, and dreams, as the plan moves through multiple phases of design. Please review the options currently available for you to share feedback on the future of Piedmont Park.

Phase 1 Input

Results of these three public input activities informed the creation of the upcoming Conceptual Designs. The Interactive Map and Survey are now closed to input but can still be viewed.
