Grant Park

Grant Park is also the in-town neighborhood surrounding Grant Park, and is Atlanta’s largest historic neighborhood. It includes the 88 acres or 35 hectares of Oakland Cemetery (established 1850), where Margaret Mitchell, Bobby Jones, 25 former mayors of Atlanta, six former governors of Georgia, and many Civil War dead are buried. It also includes the Atlanta Stockade, Fort Walker, and the Grant Mansion for which the area was named. The Grant Park Neighborhood Association represents local residents.

The Neighborhood is home to St. Paul United Methodist Church (Grant Park — Atlanta), which for a time in the early 1900s had the largest Methodist congregation in the Southeast, and which continues to be a thriving congregation welcoming to all people. St. Paul is well known for its beautiful stained glass windows and an organ that was acquired in 1887. Each December, St. Paul and the Grant Park Cooperative Preschool, which is located on the first floor of St. Paul, host the Grant Park candlelight tour of homes and artist market.
