Parks

The strength of our communities, our public health, our culture and the livability of our city depend on ample park space.  Atlanta must continue to acquire park space and assist neighborhoods who seek to start or adopt their own parks.  Our parks should be the jewels in our city’s crown:  Natural space where residents and visitors can congregate, relax, exercise, and celebrate.

Amir's Solutions

Amir Farokhi will promote:

  • community gardens in Atlanta's parks.
  • continued acquisition of park space.
  • dedicated funding for land acquisition and park development.
  • involvement of organizations and neighborhoods in the preservation and visioning of our parks.
  • more public art in Atlanta's parks.

I know that Amir knows how to listen to people and get to the heart of their concerns, and that he also understands the challenges that face our city in these turbulent times. I am confident that he will approach all of these opportunities with humanity and intelligence and a sincere concern for all of Atlanta’s citizens. We need Amir Farokhi to help get Atlanta back on track in 2009.
