About this organization
Mission
Park Pride’s mission is to engage communities to activate the power of parks. We envision an Atlanta with quality parks for all. Engaging a broad and diverse range of people and organizations to activate the power of parks through volunteer projects, community gardens, community-led park designs, and by providing grants for capital park improvements, Park Pride works as a "connector" - bringing governments, corporations, foundations, nonprofits and citizens together to create and extend the benefits that parks offer to every neighborhood in Atlanta.
