Willoughby Way flows into the parking lot for the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark. The other side of the skatepark is bordered by the Eastside Trail. You can access the park and the trail via Willoughby Way, which is directly off of Ralph McGill Boulevard.

This park is Atlanta’s first public skatepark, and was designed with input from the skating community. Solar photovoltaic panels offset roughly 50% of the park’s energy cost, and the proximity to the Eastside Trail put the accessibility of the Atlanta BeltLine within reach of the Old Fourth Ward.

    1. Hi Delante – can you please elaborate on the testing you’d like to do? The park falls under the City of Atlanta if that’s what you’re looking for in an organizer.
      Thanks,
      Jenny
