• Atlanta’s population size is comparable to Dallas, Houston, Washington DC, and Philadelphia • While ranked high, the potential for intensive park use is unlikely to be as high as New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago • Catalytic effort is required with few existing draws (the park lifts neighborhoods which in turn lifts the park)
• Higher expectations (better care & great experiences)
• Community preference for not overly commercialized experience
• Constrained location (narrow, limited access, on-structure)
