Maddox Park, Urban park in Bankhead neighborhood, Atlanta, US
Maddox Park is an urban green space in Atlanta's Bankhead neighborhood featuring walking trails, open fields, and picnic areas. The grounds span multiple acres with diverse features for outdoor recreation.
The park was founded in 1931 and named after Robert Maddox, a former Atlanta mayor who played a role in the city's growth. This naming recognized his contributions to the city's development.
This green space serves as a gathering point for neighborhood celebrations, sports activities, and community events throughout the year. For residents in the area, it functions as a place where local life unfolds.
The park sits directly across from the Bankhead MARTA station, making it simple to reach by public transportation. This location means visitors arriving by train have immediate access to the grounds.
An active railroad line passes through the park grounds, marking the future route of the Atlanta BeltLine. This planned rail project will eventually connect multiple parks across the city.
