Have you been to Westside Park yet? Located in northwest Atlanta, the city’s newest and largest green space features 2.5 miles of pedestrian-friendly trails; a beautiful playground with activities for kids and adults; large, open fields for picnics and playing; shaded picnic tables; and much more. The park’s centerpiece is a 2.4-billion-gallon reservoir that increases Atlanta’s freshwater drinking supply from 3-4 days to 30-60 days. The grand overlook with views of the reservoir and the downtown Atlanta skyline is an experience you won’t want to miss.
If you haven’t had a chance to visit the new park in person, join our guest guide Sundiata Rush for a personal digital tour of what’s quickly becoming Atlanta’s go-to green space destination. Learn about the important history of the surrounding neighborhoods and the legacy the new park aspires to fulfill. We know you’ll start planning your first visit as soon as you’ve watched.
