Perkerson Park
Nature Meets Recreation in Capitol View
Perkerson Park is a 50-acre gem in southwest Atlanta with everything from a splash pad to an elaborate playground to recreational fields, all under the shady canopy of huge oak trees.
A Park Brimming with Amenities
Perkerson Park in the neighborhood of Capitol View is just south of the Atlanta BeltLine. The park’s active use elements include a recreation center, tennis courts, basketballs courts, a playground, ball fields, a pavilion, and a new disc golf course.
Passive amenities include walking paths, open fields, a stream, and a tract of woods. Public art also takes front stage on the Deckner Avenue side of the park.
Laying the Groundwork for Fun
In May 2012, the splash pad opened in Perkerson Park. Thanks to joint efforts from Councilmember Joyce Sheperd, the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs, and the Atlanta BeltLine, neighborhood children now have a fun place to cool off on hot summer days. The splashpad is open daily, 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., from May 1 through October 1.
