Maddox Park is a 51-acre (210,000 m2) community park located in the west side of Atlanta (in the Bankhead neighborhood), across Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway from Bankhead MARTA station.[1] 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.
The park is connected to the Beltline and a series of parks encircling the city.[2]
