About

Merged with the Westside Park to become the largest park in Atlanta, as part of the Beltline.

Maddox Park is a 51-acre (210,000 m2) community park located in the west side of Atlanta, across Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway from Bankhead MARTA station. It is approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Georgia Tech. The park has an existing rail line running through it, which is part of a route on the Beltline. The park is named in honor of former Atlanta mayor Robert Maddox and opened in 1931.
