MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Eric Harkness, Planning Department
FROM: Jack Delius, Parks Department
SUBJECT: Master plan for Piedmont Park - Urban beautification program
The Parks Department is very excited about the possibility of having a
master plan developed for Piedmont Park, using donated services and
skills of private architects and landscapers in the Atlanta area. Your
urban beautification plan could be used to its fullest extent for the
restoration of Piedmont Park and at the same time we could provide
badly needed facilities for the Arts Festival and other camunity
groups. In the past, there has been tremendous oposition on the part
of the public to any major change to be made at Piedmont Park. It is
felt that no additional structures should be placed in the park if it
should in fact jeopardize the wooded area, etc. The existing swimming
pool has been condemed (along with four others) by Fulton County Health
Department and we are on borrowed time as far as its operation. I
feel strongly that by blending the talents and opinions of several of
our better designers in the City we can come up with a plan which will
be acceptable to the general public and at the same time preserve the
charm of Piedmont Park.
I would like very much for you to attend any and all meetings to be
called by Mr. Arthur Sanders, Bill Finch, Joe Perrin, etc. of the Arts
Festival of Atlanta in reference to the park. We appreciate your efforts
to date towards the urban beautification program and pledge you our full
support and cooperation.
