On May 17, 1883, Lemuel Pratt Grant presented a hand-written deed to the city of Atlanta for 100 acres of land to be used as a city park for "all" Atlantans. This donation became the first city park to result from a philanthropic gift. Shortly thereafter, the park was named for Mr. Grant - The L.P. Grant Park. For many years after its establishment the space was referred to as Mr. Grant's Park. Many also referred to the park as a "resort" area. For 125 years this public space has provided a respite for city residents. Help us celebrate 125 years. | ||
