I
brought
my
family
to
Freedom
Park
back
in
2000
when
President
Jimmy
Carter,
former
Governor
Roy
Barnes
&
Mayor
Campbell
served
as
the
Ribbon
Cutters
during
the
dedication
ceremony.
More
visits
for
family
gatherings,
picnics
&
exercise.
Fast
forward
to
the
present
it's
been
ions
since
I've
been
here
&
thanks
to
an
outdoor
Yoga
Class,
I
have
returned.
One
of
Atlanta's
largest
parks
next
to
the
Carter
Center.
Neighboring
areas
-
Beltline's
Eastside
Trail,

Park,
Inman
Park/Reynoldstown
Marta,
Little
Five
Points,
Old
Fourth
Ward
&
The
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr.
National
Historic
Site
to
name
a
few.
Regarding
the
Parkway,
traveling
on
Interstate
85/75
in
either
direction
I
use
to
see
Andrew
Young's
name
on
the
signage.
Now
it
has
been
rededicated as
the
John
Lewis
Freedom
Parkway.
The
four-lane
"limited
access"
road
runs
through
The
Freedom
Park
with
the
roads
connecting
to
both
Ponce
de
Leon
&
Moreland
Avenues.
Every
Saturday
from
March
-
December
The
Freedom
Farmers'
Market
(located
at
the
Carter
Center)
offers
live
music,
kids
activities
&
pop-up
foodie
tents.
Due
to
C-19,
the
temporary
hours
are
9A-Noon.
The
park
also
offers
The
Freedom
Barkway
Dog
Park,
an
enclosed
space
where
off-leash
dogs
can
do
their
thing.
Whether
you
bike,
jog,
walk
or
attend
fitness
classes
in
a
communal
setting,
Freedom
Park
provides
lively
artwork/displays
&
scenic
trails
amongst
a
friendly
&
well-manicured
park.
