Why Park Visioning?
Parks are good for people, good for the environment, and good for communities! Parks are treasured neighborhood amenities where children and grown-ups can play, friendships start, and memories are formed. Parks are all about community, and that's why community leadership and involvement is so important when designing parks.
Park Visioning is a program of Park Pride, a nonprofit organization working with communities in Atlanta. Park Pride puts community at the center of the conversation and helps build a shared vision for a park based on the ideas and concerns of the whole community.
Through neighborhood meetings, surveys, and engagement, Park Pride's professional park designers will be working closely with the White Oak Hills community to produce a plan that will help guide future investments in this much treasured park space.
What is a Vision Plan?
The vision plan created for Red's Farm Preserve will be a conceptual plan and comprehensive report, produced to professional landscape design standards. The plan will be informed by community input and balanced with accepted best practices, laws, and regulations to arrive at a realistic plan for long-term improvement.
The visioning effort is led by a steering committee of community residents who meet with Park Pride monthly throughout the process.
​
It is important to note that there is currently no funding for any of the projects identified through this process, and the vision plan has no weight of law unless it is adopted.
