List of parks in Atlanta

The City of Atlanta maintains a comprehensive system of municipal parks spanning over 3,000 acres of protected green space throughout the city. Administered by the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation, the park system encompasses diverse landscapes including urban regional parks, neighborhood greenspaces, nature preserves, and recreational facilities. This network serves residents and visitors across all neighborhoods represented by the city's Neighborhood Planning Units (NPU) system, ensuring equitable access to outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship throughout Atlanta's twenty-city council districts.

The city's park development and stewardship strategy is anchored in the "Activate ATL" master plan, a foundational policy framework designed to enhance park accessibility, community engagement, and environmental sustainability. The plan classifies properties into distinct categories—Regional Parks, Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Nature Preserves, Trail Corridors, and Playlots & Greenspots—each serving specific recreational, ecological, and social functions. This systematic classification enables strategic resource allocation, program planning, and capital improvements that align with neighborhood-specific needs and city-wide recreation priorities. The park system includes twenty-four recreation centers featuring programming for youth, adults, and seniors, while maintaining natural areas critical to the city's urban forest canopy and watershed management.
