Park Pride – Bagley Park
Raise your Park IQ with Park Pride!
Join us on Friday, October 10, at 9 am for our Second Friday Walk in the Park at Bagley Park! Bagley Park (formerly Frankie Allen Park) is a 21-acre greenspace nestled in Buckhead’s Garden Hills near Buckhead Village. Known as the home of Buckhead Baseball, a baseball league for kids, the park also features four tennis courts, shady picnic spots, paved walkways, and plenty of room to explore beyond the ballfields.
In addition to its amenities, the Bagley Park holds an important history. A small cemetery along Pharr Road marks the once-thriving African-American community founded here in the 1870s. In 1929, community leader William Bagley purchased land and renamed it from Macedonia Park.
Bring your coffee and walking shoes as we explore the park and its story!
NOTE: After entering, turn left into the first parking lot. The group will meet in front of the Mt. Olive Cemetery near the parking lot. The walk is under a mile on paved paths with a gentle slope, and the route is wheelchair accessible.
