Adair Park

Thank you for considering volunteering your time for cleanups and projects in Adair Park neighborhood! Everything we do at Adair Park Today is volunteer run, so we are grateful for your time and talents.

Please indicate your interest in participating or leading volunteer events for Spring/Summer 2023. You will receive an email confirming your date & time. Questions: parks@adairpark.com. 

Come out this Saturday to celebrate the work that’s gone into and around the court in Adair Park I! Atlanta MoHawks is hosting this event to help us celebrate the official opening of the new court (and basketball hoops)!

We’ll kick things off at the park refurbished court from 12pm to 2pm. Join your neighbors, enjoy some games and food, meet some new friends from NBA Top Shot and its team super fan communities, have a chance to win some prizes (including tickets for the weekend’s ATL United and Hawks / Nets games), and meet an Atlanta Hawks legend!

Thank you to Atlanta MoHawks, Art in the Paint, SCAD Serve and the City of Atlanta Parks Department for coordinating our court refresh and mural!

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday for the grand opening of our new playground! It was a huge success and we had such a great time. You can find the photos here.

Special thank you to the following folks for making this playground happen:

• Becky O’Mara, Justin Vogel, Jaqai Mickelson, Melissa Kruse & Elise Blasingame – our committee of neighbors who worked diligently to raise the needed funds, choose our fabulous new equipment, and engage neighbors throughout the process.
• Alyssa Thys – our neighbor and incredible Events Chair who not only runs Porches and Pies, but also lends her expertise and time to making all of our playground events successful!
• Lindsey Trinkle – our neighbor and a talented designer who made our beautiful fundraising website.
• Kayla Altland, our partner at Park Pride who has been incredibly supportive and engaged throughout this process. A truly collaborative funder who we greatly appreciate for believing in our project!
• Aaron Weiner at the Department of Parks & Recreation who truly does the job of at least ten people and has been a consistent friend of greenspaces and parks in our communities.
• Michael Hinson at Playground Creations (and Stephanie and Brandon – our wonderful installers) for their high level of professionalism throughout the process and genuine dedication to making safe and fun spaces for our children (and adults!) to play.
• Ken & Jeannette at La Bodega – not only for sponsoring, but for showing up and feeding us delicious, delicious pupusa snacks!
• And of course, our amazing funders and sponsors for making this project a reality. We could not have done this without you.

We hope you will stay engaged in our park efforts, especially as we continue our efforts to complete the Muscogee Park at Brookline Triangle Project. If you would like more information about that project or how you can lend support, please reach out: parks@adairpark.com.

After the work session, please join Park Pride as they host a Greenspace Gathering in Muscogee Park starting at 6PM with refreshments and a chance to learn more about the project! See registration information for that event below.

Greenspace Gatherings are a chance to meet with clusters of Friends Groups in different parks across the metro area for networking and skills sharing.

“This month, we’ll meet in Muscogee Park at Brookline Triangle with Adair Park Today, who will share about the renovation and renaming of this park in collaboration with the Muscogee Nation Office of Historic and Cultural Preservation. The new design incorporates important symbols from Muscogee tradition to honor both the history of the Nation and its modern culture.”
