Memorial Drive Greenway Is Back | Atlanta’s New Park Plan Explained

The Memorial Drive Greenway is finally moving forward after years of delays and it could completely reshape this part of Atlanta. 📍 Location: The project will run about half a mile from Oakland Cemetery west to the Downtown Connector, between Memorial Drive and MLK Jr. Drive. 🌳 Current design options on the table include: • Event lawns with views of the State Capitol • Wide promenades and art spaces • Fountains and woodland gardens • Shaded walking paths • A central water feature near the food truck plaza 💰 Phase one is funded with $560,000 from District 5’s Moving Atlanta Forward bond and $500,000 from the Parks Department’s Improvement Fund. This will cover the design work and construction of one block of the park. 🗣 Public input starts later this month and the city is asking for feedback before anything is finalized. 👉 Which design features would you like to see in this Greenway?
