    craigsotherlistyahoo-com September 6, 2018
    3 Min Read

    The most exciting development in Atlanta real estate is the Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry. Nearly one year after the city of Atlanta released renderings showing what it will look like, Atlantans how have a clearer picture courtesy of a groundbreaking ceremony, which took place this week.

    The quarry project, which borders the Chattahoochee River and Hemphill Water Treatment Plant, will include nearly 300 acres of park space.

    “The Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry will change the surrounding landscape far beyond just being the largest greenspace in the city,” Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in a written statement. “The park will become ground zero for some of the biggest economic investments ever seen on the Westside of Atlanta. It will help neighborhoods here thrive and return to their former glory, as well as be the home of an important back-up water source for the entire city.”

    A $26.5 million project, the initial phase of the future Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry will include a park gateway entrance at the intersection of Johnson Road and Grove Park Place on the north side of the park.

    How Big is Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry?

    The Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry encompasses 280 acres of greenland, wilderness and cleared-out rock quarry.

    How Will Adjacent Neighborhoods Benefit? 

    The design will provide lighting, signage, well-designed graphics and will promote pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

    The restoration of Grove Park Place will include the removal of invasive species, resurfacing of the roadway, and the rehabilitation of vegetation along the corridor.

    Additionally, the grand overlook area will maximize breathtaking panoramic views of the reservoir and the Atlanta skyline. Visitors will also be able to experience the quarry by ADA accessible trails leading to the grand overlook.

    “The Department of Parks and Recreation is excited to break ground today on the Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry,” said Department of Parks and Recreation Commissioner Amy Phuong. “Since being appointed as Department of Parks and Recreation Commissioner in 2015, it has been an honor and privilege to help increase access to greenspace and to help grow our programs and facilities in our recreation centers. I am proud to be here today celebrating the beginning of this transformative project and to thank Mayor Bottoms and City leaders for their commitment to this park and our city.”

His culinary expertise includes stints in the esteemed kitchens of Palacio de Congresos El Kursaal (three Michelin Stars; Barcelona, Spain), Hotel Finca Lérida (one Michelin Star; at the base of Volcán Barú in Panama), and many other elite restaurants.

    “Everything served at the restaurant is designed to stimulate the senses and entice the palate. We respect the ingredients, history and traditions of Mexican cuisine and pride ourselves in doing things the right way- no shortcuts,” Ruiz said in a written statement.
