Shaping the Future of Piedmont Park

The Piedmont Park Conservancy, in partnership with the City of Atlanta, has initiated a comprehensive, community-driven planning effort designed to create a new Comprehensive Plan for Piedmont Park.

Here you will find up-to-date information, important dates, and ways to engage in planning Piedmont Park’s future.

October 2024 Update

We will have multiple opportunities for community engagement and input in the month of October. These sessions – whether in-person or virtual – provide us with critical information on what Piedmont Park visitors think about the park today, and what they would like to see changed over the next 10-20 years. Importantly, no piece of feedback nor idea is too big nor too small; we’re listening to everyone and everything!

Community Engagement Opportunities

Soliciting broad ideas and concepts from the community on new park features, programs, and uses as well as any concerns related to these areas is a critical early step in the Comprehensive Plan process. Starting in August, the Conservancy and our partners will provide multiple opportunities for communities in Metro Atlanta and the surrounding areas to provide their feedback and big ideas for Piedmont Park.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT DIGITAL HUB

We have created a dedicated website for community members and park visitors to engage in this process. When you click on the link below, you will be redirected to a different site that includes an interactive map, park survey, and comment board.
