I insist on hearing bad news immediately.

Busy day to get into, but like to stop and be thankful every time these greet me at my back door. #simplepleasure (Taken with instagram)

Historic Fourth Ward Park, Atlanta

[via kingdirty] Wow! Old Fourth Ward Park on the @atlantabeltline is incredible.

Yes it is! The Historic Fourth Ward Park is currently my family’s playground-bearing-park of choice.

It’s got great play equipment for kids in the playground area. But the beautiful pond area (pictured above) is the real highlight.

Last time we were here, I was marveling at how closely the finished park matches the artists renderings from a few years ago when it was being planned.

This is a great public space in an area that was really in need of one. It’s helped to make the Old Fourth Ward a more desirable, attractive, complete neighborhood — with maybe my favorite element being that it’s walkable from so many homes (both existing ones and forthcoming ones via the mixed-use Ponce City Market project on the photo’s horizon).

I’m sure ATL is clear of danger of frost now.  It’s been a few years since these have bloomed!  Photos taken by Katherine Waddle.
