Piedmont Park Conservancy, in addition to its major restoration work, has completed a variety of improvement projects including:
| • |
Restroom Renovations/Additions: Restrooms below the Noguchi Playscape were renovated and a new set of restrooms below Magnolia Hall were added. |
| • |
Additional Lighting: Installed new historic light poles around
the park. |
| • |
Enhanced Streetscapes: In collaboration with the Midtown Alliance, 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue now have improved pedestrian access, wider sidewalks, street lights, street trees and a pedestrian drop off lane on Piedmont Avenue. |
| • |
Front Lawn: Renovations to the front lawn area along Piedmont Avenue near the Noguchi Playscape included an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)-accessible path and new benches. |
| • |
Granite Re-pointing: Restored the park’s historic granite stone work, the last remnants of the Cotton States International Exposition of 1895. |
| • |
New Signage/Way-Finding: A new signage and way-finding system utilizes obelisks to assist park visitors in understanding park rules, using way-finding maps and learning about the parks’ rich history. By keeping the actual signage low to the ground, the park view is unimpeded. |
| • |
Irrigation System: Installed and maintain a state of the art irrigation system that monitors water usage and can detect problems and shut down if there is a break in the system. |
| • |
Entryway Beautification: Added beautiful gates at 12th and 14th Streets that provide welcoming entryways into the park. Additionally, improvements to the 12th Street entryway ensure that this major entry point welcomes park visitors with gardens and benches and lush green lawn. |
