    The improvements in Adair Park I are continuing full steam! The creation of the garden to assist with removing the rainwater is underway.

Tools will be provided by the Atlanta Tool Bank, the areas will be prepped ahead of time and other volunteers are being sent to assist. Please show your support for your neighborhood parks by attending and helping us beautify our parks. Refreshments will be provided.
