??♂? Wheels of Change: The New Bike Park at Westside Park ?? A plan for a new Bike Park at Westside Park is underway! With support from the Chestnut Family Foundation, this park will offer safe and accessible spaces for cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, and more, bringing together people of all ages and abilities. Our very own Board Chair, TJ Austin, MBA, was interviewed and shared: “The Bike Park can be a gateway for young people living nearby to discover new experiences, sports, and careers. It's more than a recreational space—it’s an opportunity to bring attention to the beauty of Westside Park and create a lasting impact on the community.” This Bike Park will help connect Grove Park to even more resources and opportunities. Read more about the impact it will have on our community in the full article by Atlanta Beltline Partnership. https://lnkd.in/eEgjBvGS #BikeParkATL #WestsidePark #SaportaReport #GroveParkFoundation
