Mayor Kasim Reed joined officials from Atlanta's parks department, the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, Central Atlanta Progress and Norfolk Southern on Tuesday to dedicate revitalized fountains in Margaret Mitchell Square and a restored Woodruff Park, complete with a new play space with climbing walls, monkey bars and two slides.
The plaza honoring the legacy of Atlanta's Margaret Mitchell, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gone with the Wind, is at the intersection of Peachtree, Forsyth and Carnegie Way. Originally installed in 1986, the square features sculptures by artist Kit-Yin Snyder. The restoration of the granite and metal fountains at Margaret Mitchell Square was overseen by the city's Office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Program.
