👟 Stroll through Freedom Park, one of Atlanta’s largest parks, and the official art park of the City of Atlanta. The Carter Presidential Center sits at the center of the park, and we’ll explore how the park connects to many local amenities, including the Atlanta Beltline and Arboretum. We’ll learn about the history of this park (and its treasured legacy of hard-won civic activism); enjoy art installations along the trail; and identify some of the many native trees that make up our urban forest.

A long time ago in a city far, far away... someone planted a tree. That tree needs YOU.
This spring and summer, help our newly planted street trees out by giving them a good soak. Check the berm (the area around the tree's trunk). If it's dry 2 inches below the surface, it's time for some water. Two buckets are all it takes to give our trees some relief!
May the Urban Forest be with you.
Did you know the Atlanta Beltline is a Level II Certified Arboretum? 🌳
That means every tree, shrub, and wildflower you pass on your walk was intentionally planted and is a part of the worlds longest linear arboretum!
So next time you need to stretch your legs, take advantage of all the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum has to offer!
On April 11, we gathered in the Flowering Forest, a living tree tribute to the late Congressman John Lewis, to care for and carry forward a legacy rooted in the community he spent his life building.
1.5 miles. 1,500+ flowering trees. 90+ native species. And a community that continues to show up, year after year.
This tribute winds through Freedom Park along the John Lewis Freedom Parkway, bursting with dogwood, magnolia, fringe tree, azalea, and so much more.
This day also marked the ceremonial planting of a new magnolia cultivar, Magnolia grandiflora 'Good Trouble,' and a celebration of giving, with flowering trees going back to the community that helped grow this forest.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make the Flowering Forest the beautiful, living tribute it is. 🌸
