The other reason that we’re here today is to celebrate the power of partnerships, and partnerships are what Park Pride is all about. That’s what we at Park Pride call the ‘power of parks’… it’s because of places like this that all of you can be an NBA super star or the next Mayor of Atlanta. “I wanted to just mention when I got here and had a moment to speak with Domonique, he was talking about his experiences with parks and recreation making him who he is today, and then we heard just a moment ago from Mayor Kasim Reed the role of parks in his upbringing and his early days. “We’re happy to be here to give fun back to the community.”
“I can’t wait to see the enjoyment you all are going to get out of this. “What we expect is that when you grow up, and you get a little older like me, that you’ll stand here and you’ll do this for someone else.”
“And so I am so please that we have partners like Park Pride, and Carnival, and people like Amy Phuong and her staff who really pour their all into making sure that every corner of this city is taken care of.” Whenever I come into this park I think of my dad… I asked my mom to bring here today because I want them to have the same memories that I have of Adams Park.” I learned to swim right here in Adams Park. “This park is so very near and dear to me. Everything we do in the City of Atlanta is really all about making sure that you have a fair shot and a fair shake in life.” I love you guys, you all are 100% of the future. So today I am pleased to say that Adams Park right now is better than the Adams Park when I was growing up, and that’s what being Mayor of the City of Atlanta is all about. And not only to make sure that you have what we had, but to make sure that what you all have is actually better than what we had. “… we have an obligation to make sure that you all have what we had when we were growing up. It seems like every other week we are cutting the ribbon on a new greenspace or a major enhancement like this new splash pad.” “Atlanta is having a busy year with our parks. Highlights of the ribbon cutting are quoted below. The children of Camp Best Friends filled the audience and were the first to play in the splash pad after the ribbon cutting. “Splash Island” is situated conveniently next to the Adams Park pool, and includes water blasters, spray tunnels, and a bucket that periodically pours water over the area. On Tuesday June 21, 2016, City of Atlanta, Carnival Cruise Lines, and Park Pride cut the ribbon on the brand new splash pad at Adams Park (Southwest Atlanta).
