More to love?
I heard on NPR on the way in this morning that Piedmont Park was just expanded by 56 acres of adjacent property which includes a creek, has land for new meadows (how odd that we’d have to make a meadow), additional hiking trails and some other jazz I didn’t catch. I didn’t catch it because I figured I’d pop on line and read about it but there isn’t a peep on the Piedmont Park Conservatory site, nor is there a linkylinklink on the WABE site.
Anyone want to drop some knowledge?
There is some info on their website…

“After two years of hard work and planning, presenting to 19 NPU’s and the Urban Design Commission, the new master plan to expand Piedmont Park by 53 acres was approved by a City Council vote of 13 to 2!”

wow. no wonder it takes a pizza join 6 months to get a licqour license in this city.
the interactive water feature (centennial park style) is scheduled to “open” in 2010. don’t know what that means for the other 52.8 acres, but that’s some kind of timetable.
I work with Piedmont Park Conservancy and wanted to direct you to our Website, which we updated late this morning to include the story written by David Pendered of the AJC. The article outlines the details of the expansion and timetable for construction.

Thanks for all of your support and interest in beautiful Piedmont Park.
Rad- thanks for the 411, Josh!
