Charlie Loudermilk Park — Attraction in Atlanta

Charlie Loudermilk Park anchors a busy corner in Atlanta's Buckhead district, with a 50-foot clock tower rising at its center to mark the neighborhood's civic heart. Redesigned and reopened in 2015, the park was transformed into a more welcoming public space with open lawns, granite seating, a fountain, and a bronze statue of Loudermilk himself.

The site was once known as Triangle Park and sits at the junction of Roswell Road, Peachtree Road, and Sardis Way - an intersection steeped in local history. In the 1830s, Henry Irby's general store stood nearby, and its mounted deer head gave Buckhead its name. The park was renamed in 2009 to honor Charlie Loudermilk, founder of Aaron's Inc., whose philanthropic legacy includes more than $18 million in support for Atlanta...

Can you really call this a park? I'm giving it four stars presuming this was privately funded by the namesake.

It is a beautiful place, and a nice interruption to all the commercial buildings nearby. Once in a while you'll have a random musician or dancer. There's not enough foot traffic to give them a chance to get a significant amount of tips so I wonder if that will sustain.

There are no playgrounds here. The space is not large enough to play any sports. Imagine a Kroger parking lot and this park is much smaller, maybe half the size. You have traffic on three sides so not really a great place to sit and read a book or get any exercise. There are some benches and it is nice looking.

Overall, a net plus for...

I remember this triangle as an eye sore in the 70’s with a run down glasses store and several other struggling shops. How fortunate we are to have this coveted space bought, cleared and beautifully landscaped with the clock tower and water fountains and then donated to the city of Atlanta to enjoy as a park!! I am appreciative of the class and beauty it adds to the hub of Buckhead! Thank you...
