For over 70 years, the Northside Youth Organization (NYO) has fostered the growth and development of young athletes as part of the North Atlanta community. Beginning with football in 1949, and along the way adding baseball, basketball, softball and cheerleading, NYO has grown to become one of the largest intra-league youth sports programs in the country.
The Chastain Park playground has experienced two major renovations and is truly amazing! It is nestled between W Wieuca Road and Park Dr just west of Dudley Lane. [click here to see lots of photos]
The Chastain Park Athletic Club (CPAC) is a nonprofit which has partnered with the City of Atlanta to maintain and operate the pool. Its mission is to promote aquatic sports and life safety through community outreach. It also hosts one of the largest summer swim teams in the city. The first photo was taken around 6am – early morning swimmers on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The most widely used amenity in the park has to be the concrete walkway around the amenities. HUGE thanks to the PATH foundation for their work in making this such a gift to the area.
Views
Clear days can offer some spectacular views from the Path. Whether early morning sunrises or evening sunsets and skylines.
Real Estate
Making the most of the location
We have a custom MLS search running 24/7 for the areas adjacent to Chastain Park so we can monitor the home sale activity.
It has been fascinating to watch how subtle nuances sway home prices here. Some examples would be:
- Some streets command higher prices,
- Lot topography affects curb appeal and usability,
- Invisible building limitations like floodplains, stream buffers and zoning setbacks.
ADVOCACY
There is no manditory HOA in Chastain Park. Neighbors come from a collection of older platted subdivisions surrounding the park.
Two advocacy groups draw neighbors together and care for our neighborhood. As a resident here for over 25 years, here is how I differentiate between the two:
- The Chastain Park Conservancy maintains and seeks to improve the public spaces (the outermost red line on the map below).
- The Chastain Park Civic Association seeks to advance the interests of the people who live around the park.
Getting Plugged in as a Resident
- Join the Chastain Park Civic Association and attend the monthly meetings. The civic association coordinates local citizen interests through synergy with elected officials, infrastructure improvements, new sidewalks, zoning applications, crime, traffic calming, local development regulations, code violations and other resident concerns. One of the other priorities is hosting more social events for the residents.
- Join the Chastain Park Conservancy and volunteer. The Conservancy’s mantra is “Keeping the park clean, safe and green” and they rely on fund-raising to fund path maintenance and capital improvements park improvements like the new playground and the Powers Ferry Rd sidewalk. Without them, Chastain Park would be at the mercy of the rotation for municipal funding and schedules.
- Another way to meet fellow neighbors is through the free Chastain Park Nextdoor neighborhood website. You will see posts about everything from lost pets, neighborhood events (4th of July parade), items for sale (like amphitheater concert tickets) and security notices to neighborhood advocacy matters.
