Playground & Stormwater Improvements Begin in Springdale: Coming Spring 2025

Renovation of the Springdale Playground and stormwater infrastructure improvements have begun. The 20-year-old playground will be updated with new play equipment, including a nest swing, climbing sphere, musical flowers, and new landscaping. The beloved spinning saucer will receive a new surface and be reinstalled. Century-old stormwater pipes will be replaced to mitigate flooding in the playground area.

Contractors erected fencing to secure the work site. Construction equipment and trucks will enter the space via South Ponce de Leon Avenue. Traffic on South Ponce de Leon Avenue and Springdale Road will be impacted during this time so please consider alternative routes around this area. Construction to completion should take approximately six (6) months. 

Sincere thanks to the generosity of our friends and neighbors for their support, and in particular to the following without whom we would not have been able to begin this project.

• City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation Department 

• City of Atlanta Council Member Alex Wan

• Park Pride

• The Waterfall Foundation

• David, Helen and Marian Woodward Fund

• Former COA Council Member Jennifer Ide

As we get closer to the project’s completion, we will announce plans for a re-opening celebration. More information will be available on the OLPA website as the project progresses. If you have any questions, please contact Sandra Kruger at sandra.kruger@atlantaolmstedpark.org
