Piedmont Park’s Conservancy recently unveiled an ambitious $150 million, decade‑long expansion plan during its 28th Annual Landmark Luncheon. The plans are based on community feedback and will be the park’s first comprehensive update in 25 years.
Highlights include dredging and a boardwalk around Lake Clara Meer; creation of Clear Creek Walk; six miles of new paths for pedestrians, cyclists, scooters and runners; multiple new playgrounds; and enhanced amenities like restrooms, water fountains, bike lanes, pickleball courts and sustainability initiatives.
The plan also envisions park expansion toward Piedmont Avenue and Monroe Drive, with a $50-75 million first phase launching this year.
