Burbanck Park Project article:
Burbanck Park's Phase I Funding
May 30, 2008
Source: Community Partnership Update/March 2008
Look for improvements this spring at Burbanck Park, a 1.25-acre lot that Emory purchased to create a community park at the corner of Oxford and Clifton roads. Last fall, Druid Hills neighbors hosted a successful community fundraiser, Help Green Up Burbanck Park, that raised $25,000. To date, the park’s phase I development campaign has collected $50,000 from 174 donors, including Druid Hills Civic Association, Alliance to Improve Emory Village, The Peavine Watershed Alliance and Emory’s Office of Sustainability Initiatives.
This spring there will be several community maintenance events at the park (ivy pulls, iris plantings), as well as an Eagle Scout merit project organized by Druid Hills resident, Candler Vinson. Vinson, a Galloway School senior, plans to build a footpath through part of the park along Oxford Road.
Volunteer to join your neighbors for these events, plus join the celebration marking the first phase of improvements to Burbanck Park. For more information about the park, visit www.cliftoncommunitypartnership.org.
