Join Trees Atlanta, the Trust for Public Land, The Alliance at Cook Park, the City of Atlanta’s Department of Watershed Management, and Jacobs Engineering for a walk through Rodney Cook Sr. Park. This patch of Atlanta’s urban forest is a powerful example of how green space can support both people and the environment. This area has been severely affected by repeated flooding, jeopardizing the lives of Atlanta residents in the Vine City neighborhood. You’ll learn how community members, non-profit partners, and the City collaborated to create a “sponge park”—designed to absorb and manage stormwater while creating a beautiful, welcoming space for the community & a model for resilience in Atlanta.
