The Neighborhood – One of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods, this nationally recognized historic district includes a 131-acre green space and recreational area, and the residential neighborhoods surrounding it. Victorian-era mansions and small cottages, early 20th-century bungalows and many brick paved sidewalks characterize the neighborhood as well as popular sites such as Zoo Atlanta, the Cyclorama, and the Oakland Cemetery.
Not only is Grant Park known for its history, it is also known for its family-friendly environment and simple living attitude. Grant Park has its own charter school and neighborhood association, which strives to promote and strengthen the neighborhood. They also host several fantastic events throughout the year.
Grant Park is Atlanta’s oldest park and the fourth largest in the city. What’s more, it is the heart of the bustling Grant Park community, the stage of one of the city’s oldest fountains, and the entryway to one of the city’s oldest and most popular family attractions, Grant Park Zoo.
From the start, Grant Park has benefitted from the benevolence and wise investments from people like Lemuel P. Grant. Grant, a successful railroad engineer and businessman, donated 100 acres of land for the park in 1882 and is the park’s namesake. The year 1882 is significant because it was the start of a recession in the city as it recovered from the devastation of the Civil War. Despite the economic shift, Grant still saw the value in funding the park, which he did largely with profits from his railroad work.
The park was built, in part, based on a 1903 design by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architectural firm. It featured a lake and boathouse, walking paths and forest, carriage rides, natural springs, various sculptures and a series of landmark fountains. Many of these features are still available today, and some — like the Erskine Memorial Fountain — are in the midst of a resurgence.
