This past Sunday & Tuesday, our Camp Best Friend campers had the unforgettable experience of attending the FIFA Club World Cup matches at Mercedes‑Benz Stadium. Huge thanks to @CityofAtlanta Mayor Dickens, @FIFACWC, Showcase Atlanta, and @MARTAtransit for making this possible!

Have fun and celebrate responsibly! This July 4th weekend, relax, play, and enjoy the beauty of our parks and green spaces. But after the fun, please dispose of any trash. Skip the fireworks — they're prohibited. Let's celebrate responsibly and keep our parks safe!

In observance of the July 4th holiday, all Recreation, Aquatic Centers, Outdoor Pools, and Camp Best Friends activities and locations will be closed Friday, July 4. Operating hours for City of Atlanta public golf courses will not be affected.

🌳 July is National Parks & Recreation Month! Did you know that living near parks boosts physical activity for both kids and adults? Parks also help reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and support mental health. Atlanta is proud to #BuildTogetherPlayTogether with @NRPA
