Big plans, such as green parking decks, are in the works for one of the most popular parks in metro Atlanta.
"Piedmont Park may be one of the best-used and most popular parks in metro Atlanta... Today, reclaiming the woods for the general public is one of the key goals for both the Piedmont Park Conservancy and the Atlanta Botanical Garden. The two groups also are exploring ways of jointly building a 'green' parking deck that would serve both of them. Right now, they are looking at building a deck that would be built into a steep slope near the city's maintenance facilities behind Magnolia Hall."
