Locate It: Elizabeth Porter Park

Elizabeth Porter Park

At the intersection of Allgood Road and North Marietta Parkway, this park features a walk/run track, spray pad, and pavilion. A great recreational amenity, the park was also designed to ensure the preservation of local black history through the use of public art. Most prominently, a symbolically rich 130-foot mural depicts activities relevant to the site and surrounding neighborhood over time. Secondly, a statue of Elizabeth Porter, the park’s namesake and former recreation center director, was incorporated into the park entrance. The statue design shows Mrs. Porter beside two children representing those she worked with during her 22 years as director.
