Historic Fourth Ward Park, Urban park in Old Fourth Ward, Atlanta, United States.
Historic Fourth Ward Park is a 17-acre green space in eastern Atlanta featuring a two-acre lake at its center, open meadows, and walking paths throughout. The grounds include a playground and splash pad along with various recreational areas for visitors to explore.
The park was created in 2014 on a former industrial site, transforming unused land into green space for the community. This development also connected the area to the Atlanta BeltLine trail network.
The amphitheater by the lake hosts concerts and neighborhood celebrations throughout the year, bringing people together. It serves as a gathering place where the community comes to enjoy events and connect with one another.
The splash pad operates seasonally from May through October, while the playground is accessible year-round during daylight hours. Well-maintained walking paths connect different zones, making it easy to navigate throughout the grounds.
The lake serves a dual purpose as both a recreational feature and a stormwater management system that protects surrounding neighborhoods from flooding. This design demonstrates how parks can address practical infrastructure needs while providing community space.
