Crews repaired the sewage pipe that crosses over Peachtree Creek at the park.
Atlanta Memorial Park gets
repairs, rejuvenation
By Collin Kelley
INtown Editor
The Atlanta Memorial Park
Conservancy (AMPC) has reached 49
percent of its fundraising goal for its
operations budget, the organizations
executive director says.
The Conservancy plans major
renovations and upgrades to Bobby Jones
Golf Course and Bitsy Grant Tennis
Center, part of a long-range Master
Plan. While the final draft Master Plan
is under review with the city, AMPC is
moving forward at the request of the
Department of Parks and Recreation to
make a difference on the greenspace west
of Northside Drive.
While big changes are still to come,
smaller, significant ones are happing on
a regular basis, including the ongoing
repair of the sewage pipe that crosses
over Peachtree Creek in Memorial Park.
The pump station along Woodward Way
has been removed and the second pump
station along Wesley Drive was removed
last week, according to a report in the
AMPC monthly update.
The temporary pipes and rocks in the
creek bed allow for the crews to work in
the creek to make the repairs, thereby
reducing the impact to the trees along
the upper bank. No new footings will go
in the creek bed. Instead, the new sewage
pipe will be supported by concrete piers
along the slope.
More than 150 employees from
accounting firm Bennett Thrasher
volunteered at the park on Oct. 30 and
removed invasive plants, installed a
planting bed that extends down into
the park from the nature trail at Howell
Mill, and built four park benches along
Peachtree Creek.
