Burbanck Park Project article:
Newest Park in Druid Hills Takes Shape with Help from Community Volunteers
June 5, 2008
Source: Community Partnership Update/December 2006
The CCP and Emory are developing a new park in Druid Hills in conjunction with Druid Hills Civic Association and Park Pride, a local parks advocacy group. The site, which Emory purchased, is at 1164 Clifton Road (the corner of Oxford and Clifton roads) and is one block from Emory Village.
The first phase of development for the 1.2-acre site includes the removal of an existing non-historic home, clearing heavy bushes to increase visibility from the street and the addition of a trail. Druid Hills Civic Association is expected to advance efforts for this phase.
Last month, local neighbors and Emory volunteers worked together to clear overgrown vegetation on the property. A second "ivy pull" at the site is scheduled for Dec. 16 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Tax-deductible donations for this park are being accepted through Park Pride (www.parkpride.org). The park will open in the spring of 2007. For more information visit www.cliftoncommunitypartnership.org.
