The Dept. of Parks & Recreation is kicking off public engagement for a citywide trails plan! Check out the info on the Trails ATL website: https://www.trailsatl.com/

The intention of this trails plan is to help connect Atlantans to the places they want to go, especially parks and natural spaces, but also places like schools, grocery stores, and places of work, worship, and entertainment. Other key City partners include the Dept. of City Planning, Dept. of Transportation, Dept. of Watershed Management, and the Mayor's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, among many other partners. The PATH Foundation is the plan's project manager. And, most importantly, we're seeking your partnership as Friends of the Park leaders not only to engage and provide input into the plan, but also to help spread the word and ensure we reach as many people as possible with the opportunity to have their voices heard!

Public engagement has already begun with pop-up activations at NPU meetings (please view the "Engage" tab on the website linked above). The first official public meeting is next week at Peachtree Hills Recreation Center on Monday, March 25 from 6 - 7:30 pm. Subsequent public meetings are listed below, and are also included on the website:
