Candler Park Welcomes Spring and Summer
Spring has begun to spread its warmth and feelings of new beginnings with warm rays of sunshine, new blossoms, and the soft melody of birdsong. Located in intown Atlanta, Candler Park embraces the community each spring and summer by welcoming all to its many festivals and events.
Candler Park has claimed its place on the National Register of Historic Places and lends credit to this honor by being one of Atlanta’s first suburbs.

The 7th annual 5K race will take place on April 16th beginning at 11 a.m.
Another sure sign that spring has sprung and summer is around the corner is the annual Candler Park Easter Egg Hunt. Many of the areas public and private school students along with their family and friends take part in the egg hunt every year. On April 23rd children from infants to twelve years of age gather in the park at noon time to search for some of the two thousand eggs thoughtfully placed around the park.
Summer is the perfect time to head outdoors and enjoy some exercise. The swimming pool located in Candler Park will reopen for hours of family fun this summer. In addition to swimming, each summer the Friends of Candler Park host Candler Park movie night. Movies are shown in front of the pool house beginning before the sunsets.
In conjunction with Park Pride, Epworth Methodist, and the Candler Park Neighborhood Association, movies that are both kid and adult friendly are played on the big screen.
