Pershing Point Park

Pershing Point Park is at Peachtree Street to the west in Atlanta, Georgia. The park is a small affair that was named for General John Pershing. He was in World War I. The park works to balance nature with WWI remembrance. It is dedicated to those who died. There are natural and manmade structures as part of the park in order to express the reminder of those who have died and were part of Atlanta. Many of the monuments are about the Fulton County dead who were part of the battles in 1914 to 1918. For those fascinated by this history it is definitely a place to visit in order to remember those who gave their lives.

There is also the recreation aspect to the park. The park encompasses many flowers, scrubs, and trees. To make it easier for recreation there are circular pathways throughout with red brick. They are easy to walk or jog on. It is also easy to get around the park to see the monuments, as well as to enjoy the outdoors. Atlanta can be rather hot in summer, so the shaded areas are often busiest with picnickers and other recreation seekers.
