Joyland

Back in 1921 Joyland was an amusement park built for African Americans. Today, the small, southeast Atlanta neighborhood is the home of Arthur Langford Jr. Park (aka Langford Park), which, in addition to being home to John Riddle?s 1976 abstract sculpture, ?Spirit Bench,? will soon be overhauled by the Atlanta BeltLine and the city parks department.
