PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Atlanta BeltLine Quarry Park and Preserve is a high-profile redevelopment project along an existing 22-mile historic rail corridor that circles the city. Located along the BeltLine, the Westside Quarry Park and Preserve is slated to become the largest public park in Atlanta. The project has the potential to not only further connect the BeltLine, but also to set an example for environmental sustainability and ecological restoration.
The site is currently home to an incredibly scenic and abandoned quarry, which may look familiar because it has served as a filming location for many productions including The Walking Dead, The Hunger Games, and Stranger Things. While the site is not currently open to the public, its future development will provide a recreational asset for movie buffs and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
RVi created the Vision Plan for the development, which will become the largest public park in Atlanta. Located along the high-profile Atlanta BeltLine, this park is envisioned as a model for ecological innovation and resiliency.
