Accessing Historic Fourth Ward Park from the Atlanta BeltLine is so much easier now thanks to the opening of the Eastside Trail Gateway on Friday. The winding path for pedestrians and cyclists goes down an incline to access the 12 acre park, located across from Ponce City Market and next door to The Masquerade.  he connection between the Eastside Trail and Historic Fourth Ward Park, known as the Eastside Trail Gateway, is now underway.
