Last week, urban communicator extraordinator, Thomas Wheatley, whispered to the world that the Old Fourth Ward Park along the Beltline had unofficially opened to the public.  (“Unofficially” means the fences were taken down, but there hasn’t been a “Grand Opening” ceremony yet).

And this past weekend one of our favorite local photogs, Josh D. Weiss visited the park and put up a few great shots on his website.

Not only is Old Fourth Ward Park already getting rave reviews from residents, but the storm-water retention pond at the park’s center also helps Atlanta meet the federal mandate to upgrade its aging sewer system.  According to Wheatley, additional green-space and an adjoining skate-park will soon complement the park.
