The session will take place 7 pm – 9 pm, Aug. 30, at the First E (Old Stone Church), 470 Candler Park Drive, Atlanta GA 30307. Please join Candler Park Conservancy for a Community Input Session to hear updates and provide input on the Active Lawn and Amphitheater projects proposed in the park’s Vision Plan.
Great news, neighbors: The Candler Park Conservancy’s effort to improve two of the park’s favorite amenities is making significant progress. As mentioned in last month’s Messenger, the Conservancy has hired landscape architects at Perkins + Will to incorporate more resilient, practical and sustainable features into Candler Park’s Active Lawn and into the makeshift amphitheater that sits between the Active Lawn and the pool house.
A community feedback session is scheduled for the evening of Thursday, Aug. 30, at the First E, 470 Candler Park Drive. The session will be led by Perkins + Will.
As you probably know, neighbors and other stakeholders have long expressed their desire for these two projects to move forward during public meetings led by both CPNO and the Conservancy. The late August meeting gives our entire community a chance to review Perkins + Will’s progress on the schematic design.
One sure-fire way to get information about the meeting — and other Conservancy activities — delivered straight to your email box is to become a member of the Conservancy. Your membership is important even at low giving levels because it shows community interest in improving the park. Again, go to CandlerParkConservancy.org and follow the “Join” link under the “Support Us” dropdown menu!
