Candler Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Candler Park is a 55-acre (223,000 m²) city park located at 585 Candler Park Drive NE, in Atlanta, Georgia. It is named after Coca-Cola magnate Asa Griggs Candler, who donated this land to the city in 1922. The park features a nine-hole golf course (widely regarded as the worst but most affordable course in the area), a swimming pool, a football/soccer field, a basketball court, tennis courts, and a playground.
Candler Park is also the name of the neighborhood surrounding the park. It is entirely in the DeKalb-county side of the city, bordering Little Five Points, Lake Claire, Inman Park, and Druid Hills. The Candler Park Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1983, with a boundary increase on March 17, 2005. It includes portions of Lake Claire.
The neighborhood is home to the original location of The Flying Biscuit Cafe, which sold franchising rights to Raving Brands in 2007.
MARTA rapid transit rail service is available at the Edgewood/Candler Park station.
