The City of Brookhaven is converting Murphy Candler Park from a natural space with wildlife, to traffic, parking, concrete, and an amphitheater for big events.
As a local resident and a fan of the park as a natural greenspace, I join this petition and want Brookhaven to stop the Amphitheater.

The City of Brookhaven refuses to listen to us but this groundswell of opposition is finally making them sweat. Their plan to pave over our park for a concrete stage is a total disaster that we are not going to let happen.

This is a great, open grass-area. Idea for laying out a blanket and enjoying the forest. The stage, power and access for groups needs to be at County Corner
This is a redundant and unnecessary project, and environmentally destructive. How did this change from “open space field” to the very thing the public didn’t want (an amphitheater/event space)? And the cost?!! It’s out of control! Stop removing trees! Preserve the natural peace of this area. This petition is the current, compelling input to COB that has been missing!
This amphitheater does not belong in this park. Preferably put it in the future town center, like what Peachtree Corners and Duluth have done.
No amphitheater, stage, etc. the area should be a community green with minimal hardscape except ADA access.
Please talk to local residents before deciding that this is what we want. Maybe the original "master plan" included it, but maybe it was wrong.
No more traffic in our neighborhoods!

Please keep Murphy Candler natural! We have Blackburn Park for large events, Why disturb all the wildlife and serenity of this park? It is a crime to destroy more trees and habitat for wildlife! Why do we need paved walkways or roads?
