The Candler Park 420 Fest Walking Trail

A portion of proceeds from the 2010 SweetWater 420 Fest were donated to a Park Pride Fiscal Account earmarked for “The Candler Park 420 Fest Walking Trail”.  The available funds are $4,250.00.  The trail will be a mulched path with landscape timbers to define the path and help hold the mulch in place. The path will be combined with an effort to clear out underbrush and add educational signs regarding the plants and other natural features of the ravine. The ravine largely has been a forgotten and unused (except by isolated urban campers) part of Candler Park. The goal of the clearing and trail building is to make the area more inviting and encourage more traffic to the area. Trails are among the most popular features in most parks, and the ravine provides a natural experience missing from the more developed areas of the park

SweetWater Brewery has graciously offered its staff for a work day to help complete the work for the path. We have approx. 20 volunteers through Friends of Candler Park and Operation Boot Camp. This is a very labor intensive project and we could always use more help.  Please come out to show your support…

Work Day:  Friday March 18th, 2011 11:00am until it is done.
Location:  Candler Park – 1500 McLendon Ave, ATL, GA 30307

Thank you to our food sponsor, The Pickle, for providing lunch to our volunteers on the work day.

**Park Pride will be providing all the necessary tools.**

Thanks to all those who helped to support this project:
