Parks and Recreation

Park District Community House (formerly Atlanta-Eminence Memorial Building) The wheelchair accessible Community House contains a memorial for World War I and II veterans that served from the Atlanta and Eminence Communities. It offers large and small meeting rooms, a lounge, restrooms, and a kitchen. Just behind the Community House is a building that we affectionately call the "Barn." It is a popular reunion spot in the summer, because of its large screened-in area with tables and separate kitchen facilities. It also has public restrooms. Contact the Atlanta Park District to reserve the building. Website: Community Building (Memorial Home) Email: info@atlantapark.org Address: 106 SW 6th Street Phone: (217) 648-2611

Route 66 Park Take a walk through mementos of the past, featuring the Atlanta Fair, the Atlanta high Schools, and the Knights of Pythias. A favorite stop within the park is the working “bubbler” water fountain from the 1930s. Feeling adventurous? Take a sip from it! On the outside of the park wall, you will find “Route 66 Reimagined,” artistic interpretations of the iconic Route 66 shields from a 2012 art contest. View them, then take a selfie with your favorite and tag us (@visitatlantail). Address: 105 SE Race Street
