Ponce City Market tops things off with The Roof
Putt! Putt! Putt!, an interactive miniature golf tournament and amusement extravaganza, will take place 4 p.m.-10 p.m. Sunday, April 3 at The Roof, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308. Tickets and can be purchased through the giving campaign hosted by Indiegogo and generosity.com at putt-putt-putt.com.
To top off the exclusive food finds and high-end retailers, Ponce City Market will soon take its one-stop leisure shopping experience to the next level.
The Roof, an amusement park atop the popular mixed-use development, will officially open mid-year 2016, a Ponce City Market representative told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The carnival-style rooftop attraction is a throwback to the historical site's once claim to fame as Ponce de Leon Amusement Park, aka the "Coney Island of the South."
Before the attraction officially opens, attendees of the celebrity fundraiser “Putt! Putt! Putt!,” an interactive miniature golf tournament and amusement extravaganza, will get a sneak peek.
The fundraiser, benefiting the Kyle Korver Foundation, Plywood People, Jamestown Charitable Foundation and several other local charities, will center around a tournament on The Roof's 18-hole miniature golf course. Atlanta Hawks Kyle Korver, AL Horford, Kent Bazemore and coach Mike Budenholzer will take part in the charitable festivities.
Like Ponce de Leon Amusement Park nearly 115 years ago, the rooftop playground will be the backdrop of date nights and family fun alike.
“Guests will have the opportunity to play a round of mini golf, enjoy old-time boardwalk-style games, take a ride on the slide housed inside the marquee Ponce City Market sign, grab a drink at the bar and more – all with exclusive views of Atlanta’s iconic skylines from Buckhead to Downtown,” according to a Ponce City Market press release.
