We were happy to attend the Grant Park Conservancy's unveiling ceremony at Erskine Fountain yesterday, celebrating the beautifully renovated Courtyard and landscaping surrounding the fountain, and the installation of historical signage about the park, created in partnership with Kennesaw State University's Department of Museums, Archives, and Rare Books, and the Park Public History Project board. Well done!
Additionally, be sure to check out the historical signage that's been installed up at the Southeast Quadrant of the park too!

Phase 2: Address drainage issues -- putting in drains to direct water to a swale designed to capture and gradually release it

Step 1: Increase the green space! Tear out excess asphalt & move the curbs inward to create a slimmer walkway
encircling the fountain. This will make more room for plantings in the surrounding space.

Hello friends! The time has come: Grant Park Conservancy is about to break ground on Phase II of the Erskine Fountain project: restoring the space behind the fountain, the Abana Courtyard.
GPC has raised an impressive $200,000 to the project, but the total cost is estimated at $230,000, including reclaiming the courtyard, shoring up the walls, installing permeable pavers, managing drainage issues, & expanding the greenspace.
None of the restoration work done so far would be been possible without the support of friends and neighbors like you. Now we need your help once again: can you help us close this $30,000 funding gap? Your generous donation will directly impact this work! Donate at https://www.gpconservancy.org/get-involved/support/ and be sure to select Abana Courtyard from the dropdown menu
