Reasons to keep Candler Park Golf Course “as-is”:
1. Founded in 1926 to offer accessible golf for the neighborhood
2. Historical Relevance: provided women and minorities a place to play golf during exclusionary times, one of the few remaining vintage courses, a notable amenity of the neighborhood originally developed by the Candler Family
3. Offers beautiful and unique green space to the Candler Park neighborhood
4. Provides free golf lessons to children
5. Haven for wildlife in metro Atlanta; unique flora and fauna are thriving
6. Daily maintenance provides a safe green space by deterring illegal and undesirable activities
7. Daily maintenance ensures the area remains an attractive green space and deters crime and vagrants 8. If the course were eliminated, maintenance of the land would cost the city an estimated 40 acres x $7,000/acre, or $280,000. The city cannot afford this.
Keep the community around Candler Park Golf Course SAFE and BEAUTIFUL.
Voice your opposition to closing the course. Thank you for your support.

We just hit 100 signatures and the Parks Commissioner is already sweating because they know we are not going to let them destroy this historic space. Stop ignoring the neighborhood and keep your hands off our course.

We don't need more houses, condos, or townhouses. We really need green space and recreation.
