From Park Pride:

Park Pride is the only Atlanta-based nonprofit that provides programs and leadership to help communities realize their dreams for neighborhood parks.

Park Pride believes in the Power of Parks!
Great parks have the power to increase our quality of life and strengthen the fabric of our cities. They are places where communities gather, play, relax and enjoy nature. Great parks promote community engagement, safety and revitalization. They spur economic development and benefit tourism. Great parks make our citizens happy, our communities strong, and our cities sustainable.

Mission: To engage communities to activate the power of parks.

Vision: A nationally recognized network of locally inspired parks, greenspaces and trails that engages individuals, strengthens communities and transforms Atlanta.

Park Pride is one of Atlanta’s civic treasures. The organization serves as a key liaison between the City of Atlanta and Dekalb County and neighborhoods looking for ways to reclaim and improve their parks. The annual Parks conference in the Spring always attracts key visionaries from around the US as well as local parks heroes.

At it’s annual conference each year, Park Pride awards the Park Pride Inspiration Award
