Atlanta Hawks Foundation donates $50,000 to renovate four basketball courts in Atlanta’s Central Park

In conjunction with Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall’s “Year of Boulevard” initiative, the Atlanta Hawks Foundation is announcing a $50,000 grant to renovate all four of the city’s basketball courts in Central Park. The courts, which overlook the skyline of downtown and Midtown Atlanta, serve more than 500 local youth a year in city recreation programs, and are among the city’s most popular courts for pickup games throughout the year. Renovation of the courts will begin the week of Sept. 24 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of October. The grant constitutes the largest single donation to the “Year of Boulevard,” which aims at revitalizing District 2’s Boulevard corridor through public safety improvements, economic development opportunities and programs for young people.
