Visit Wake
On the Eastside trail at Historic Fourth Ward Skate Park, you will find the newest Art on the Atlanta BeltLine installation, Wake by Mel Chin. This large-scale installation includes a 21-foot carved sculpture with a subtle animatronic motion that allows her to slowly breathe and scan the sky.

Visit a Park
Grab a coffee, the pups, friends, and family, and stroll through one of the many BeltLine adjacent parks over the holidays. North, South, East, or West, you will find more than 400 acres of public greenspace to enjoy.
