Candler Park Conservancy

Active Lawn/Amphitheater Community Input Session 

Please join Candler Park Conservancy for a Community Input Session to hear updates and provide input on the Active Lawn and Amphitheater projects proposed in the park’s Vision Plan.

 

The session will take place 7 pm – 9 pm, Aug. 30, at the Old Stone Church, 470 Candler Park Drive, Atlanta GA 30307. That’s a week from Thursday.

 

Over the last several months, the Conservancy — with a grant from CPNO — has consulted with a range of Candler Park’s stakeholders and collaborated with international design firm Perkins + Will to develop schematic designs for these key projects, which initially gained community support in the neighborhood Master Plan and the park’s Vision Plan.

 

The Conservancy and their landscape architects are excited to share and discuss their work with our community and to hear what you think!/ It would be helpful to register in advance on the Conservancy’s website so that they can get a headcount.
