In Olmsted’s Footsteps: A Walk Through His Vision

Saturday and Sunday, Visitors will walk through Dellwood and Deepdene observing the topography, plant species, wildlife, and possibly spring’s early arrivals in the park.
Visitors will stroll through the pastoral park segments of Springdale, Virgilee, Oak Grove and Shadyside observing Olmsted’s landscape while learning about the park restoration in the late 1990’s – early 2000’s and the “lively” neighborhood residents from the early 1900’s.
This tour is appropriate for children ages 12 and up. We recommend good walking shoes, sunscreen, water bottle, bug spray, and a hat. Attendees may park on Clifton Road or South Ponce de Leon Avenue.
