Itinerary:

For those who are not working on Friday morning, join me for a walk around my neighborhood!  

We will meet promptly at 10:30 a.m. at the 14th Street gate in Piedmont Park.  This gate can be found at the intersection of Piedmont Road and 14th Street.  Please give yourself plenty of time to get here, especially if you are not familiar with the neighborhood.

There is paid parking on Piedmont nearby, or you can take your chances with the Evil Park Atlanta and park on one of the side streets. (I do not advise this option, but if you do use it, please pay careful attention to signs and parking meters.  Those tickets are not cheap.)  If you take MARTA to the park, the closest station is Arts Center.  Google Maps is great at telling you how to find things via MARTA, or you can email me for tips.

Starting at the gate, we will do a little loop around some of my favorite parts of the Park and onto the future Beltline Section which will lead us over to the paved Eastside Trail.  We will walk the Eastside Trail until Irwin Street, where we can stop at the Market and grab some quick snacks (baked goods, ice cream, etc.)

After our stop at Irwin Street, we will double back along the Eastside Trail section we have hiked and reenter Piedmont Park on the 10th Street side, then walk back to the 14th Street gate that way.

The total distance will be about 7 miles.
