Maddox Park

Maddox Park

Maddox Park is a 51.5 acre community park located in the west side of Atlanta (in the Bankhead neighborhood), across Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway from Bankhead MARTA station. It is approximately 1.5 miles west of Georgia Tech. The park has an existing rail line running through it, which is part of the proposed route of the Belt Line. The park is named in honor of former Governor Lester G. Maddox, a "Dixiecrat" Democrat known for his resistance to desegregation, who was the only Governor of Georgia to have been born in the city of Atlanta.
