About Historic Fourth Ward Park

Historic Fourth Ward Park sits in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta, just south of Ponce City Market and just west of the Eastside Trail of the Atlanta Beltline. The Beltline site credits the park with design awards for turning 17 previously underused acres into a green retreat. Its centerpiece is a two-acre lake that also manages stormwater. Visitors will find playground equipment, a seasonal splash pad for children, shaded areas, broad meadows, and an amphitheater used for festivals and gatherings.
