CPC board members along with fall fundraiser planning committee members selected the finalists in May.  Finalists will receive CPC hats and stickers and an invitation to attend the event with their parents.  The winning submission will be selected from the finalists.

“These students are a very talented group.  Selecting the finalists was not an easy task,” said Gip Johnston, CPC Executive Director.  “Most of these students live around the Park, played sports at NYO and enjoyed the Park amenities so they have a love for the Park which certainly showed through their creative art.”

Chastain Park Conservancy Tent

Learn about new projects and renew your membership.

Sure as the dogwoods and azaleas bloom each spring, you will find us in the park this in March and April.  It’s time to renew your membership in the Chastain Park Conservancy, if you haven’t already for 2011, and learn about new projects and developments!
Conservancy Board members will occupy a tent at the corner of Powers Ferry and Wieuca (in front of our new tennis center) on Saturdays, 10 am – 5 pm and Sundays, 12 pm – 4 pm,  beginning March 12 and ending April 10. We’re seeking new members and helping existing members renew. We’ll also
show and tell about all that’s happened in 2010 and what we’ll
be doing in 2011.
Last year, we grew membership to 650 from 500, a 30% increase. Our goal is to do at least that well this year.  We hope you will stop and visit.  The park has never looked better.  We have a lot to tell you, but would especially appreciate hearing your thoughts.
