Eastside Trail Gateway Groundbreaking Set for This Friday

The long-awaited connection between the Eastside BeltLine trail and popular Historic Fourth Ward Park is finally becoming reality.

The groundbreaking celebration for the gateway that will connect the trail and the park will take place this Friday January 17 at 10 AM on the Eastside Trail overlooking Historic Fourth Ward Park at the Angier Springs Road access point. Access is available via Somerset Avenue off of North Avenue. Parking is available on Somerset Avenue and Angier Springs Road.

The Gateway is an ADA-accessible trail that will connect Historic Fourth Ward Park directly to the two-mile paved portion of the Eastside Trail, running from Inman Park to Piedmont Park. The path will begin across from the Angier Springs Road access point of the Eastside Trail, and wind down the hill toward the park, connecting at Dallas Street and North Angier Avenue. The design includes landscaping, retaining walls, lighting, and green infrastructure stormwater design.

The Eastside Trail Gateway is made possible by generous contributions from donors to the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership: A Friend of the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership; the R. Howard Dobbs, Jr. Foundation; the John N. Goddard Foundation; and the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation.
