The Quarry Park (Old Bellwood Quarry) :
On a bus
tour sponsored by the BeltLine this photo of the Quarry Park-to-be
was taken.
This Park-to-be is set to be the crowning jewel in the Emerald
Necklace of Parks to provide open space in Atlanta, now and for many
generations of city dwellers to come. As the area grows and expands as
it is doing now, this park will serve the neighborhood as Piedmont Park
serves Midtown. This park is under planning by Alexander
Garvin & Associates to be developed by the City
of Atlanta under the Westside Study Group .
The Quarry Park-to-be is located on West Marietta Street down beyond King Plow and to the west side of the Howell Station neighborhood. The City of Atlanta's investments to fund key BeltLine acquisitions such as the purchase of the Bellwood Quarry now total more than $55 million. The goal of the BeltLine’s Five-Year Plan is 585-625 acres of greenspace and is well on the way to achieving that objective.
The BeltLine will have a station there but in June 2006, as shown in the image above, all it is is a lot of gravel and a cavernous pit. Much of Atlanta was built from concrete made from this gravel in the past by Vulcan Materials.
The big pit will be a future reservoir but will have a fence around it similar to many cities, but not as restrictive as the fence around the Howell Mill City Reservoirs. In June 2006 City employees get quite upset if one tries to enjoy the area around the Howell Mill reservoirs --- their fences are more expansive than most cities and keep the area for 100's of feet around the water totally isolated. This area is quite pleasant to stroll and jog and when the fence is around the water only, as it will be at The Quarry Park, people will be able to start enjoying it--something for the MSAA to work on!
