Run for the Park 2007
Volunteers pitch in during park cleanup. Councilmember Carla Smith represents the Atlanta neighborhoods of District 1. The intown neighborhoods, located south of downtown, feature a rich history and some of Atlanta's most visited entertainment venues such as Zoo Atlanta, Grant Park & Turner Stadium.
As part of the Playable 2010 initiative organized by Georgia Tech's College of Architecture and the Atlanta Taskforce on Play (ATOP), children draw pictures about their favorite ideas for play and then their pictures are presented to the professional and collegiate designers, architects, landscape architects, industrial designers, etc. who will then create truly innovative playspaces. At least two of those playspaces will actually be built: one on the Beltline and one in Woodruff Park. Then the drawings will be a part of a exhibit on designing for play that will be part of a conference we will mount next November. There is a chance the exhibit will go on tour.

District 1 Representative Carla Smith

I am very proud to be your Council Representative. District 1 is rich in history and is home to some of the most visited sites in Atlanta. District 1 is the home of the Atlanta Braves and Turner Field, Zoo Atlanta and the Cyclorama and more. But more than the sites to visit, I am sure that District 1 is home to some of Atlanta’s best people. Our communities are diverse among many lines and there is room for us all. Ride through the district sometimes and enjoy the view. There is much to see. District 1 boasts over 20 neighborhoods.
