The Historic Fourth Ward Park is a 17-acre urban oasis that transformed a flood-prone basin into one of Atlanta’s most innovative green spaces. Anchored by a two-acre stormwater lake, this carefully designed park blends sustainability with recreation, preventing city flooding while providing a stunning natural retreat.
Shaded walking paths wind through wildflower meadows and native gardens, leading to scenic overlooks and open lawns perfect for picnics. A state-of-the-art skatepark, backed by Tony Hawk, draws both beginners and pros, while an amphitheater and event spaces host concerts, festivals, and community gatherings. A splash pad and playground offer family-friendly fun, and the park’s direct connection to the Atlanta BeltLine makes it a vital hub for cyclists and pedestrians exploring the city.
What was once an industrial flood zone is now a model of urban renewal—where nature, design, and community thrive together in the heart of Atlanta.
