Peachtree Hills Park Update (12/30/2007)

by Betty Hanacek

 

Several years ago, led by Fannie Schubert, neighbors got together to address the sad state of Peachtree Hills Park. They called themselves the “Friends of Peachtree Hills Park” and spent countless hours removing truckloads of kudzu, poison ivy and trash. They also secured funding for park improvements. Surveys were conducted which showed that the primary improvements neighbors wanted were paths to walk/run on, native/hardy landscaping, better lighting and benches. They were willing to give up one of the baseball backstops (research showed that the 2 ball fields were never used at the same time) in order to accommodate paths.

 

Of course, it was not an easy process. The “Friends” endured endless meetings and correspondence with City of Atlanta staff whose responsibility to manage parks for the broader community (including reserving the playing fields for non-Atlantans for a fee in order to generate revenue) was often at odds with what neighbors wanted.  At long last, and with support from the PHCA Board, the plan was approved! (Click here to view the plan).

 

Before the plan can be implemented, though, the City must complete an important, long awaited creek bank restoration project, which involves complicated, almost endless City and Federal (the Feds have to approve anything involving waterways) bureaucracy.  Once all the approvals are completed, heavy earth moving equipment will be brought in. Following completion of the creek bank restoration project, we can begin implementing the park improvements.
