ATLANTA BELTLINE PARTNERSHIP INC

Free Fitness on the Atlanta BeltLine is the most comprehensive fitness and wellness program to promote active lifestyles in parks throughout the city of Atlanta. Now in its tenth year, Free Fitness programming ensures that everyone in our city has access to activities, resources, and education supporting physical, mental, and emotional well-being around the BeltLine corridor. The Free Fitness class portfolio provides diverse options for every age and skill level at no cost, helping to foster healthier resident outcomes for all Atlanta residents.

The Legacy Resident Retention Program launched in 2020 to protect long-time residents in some of the city’s most vulnerable neighborhoods from being displaced by escalating property taxes. Developed in coordination with the City of Atlanta and like-minded partners, this program provides financial assistance to cover property tax increases through 2030 for qualifying homeowners in the southern and western neighborhoods within the BeltLine Planning Area (roughly 0.5 miles on either side of the BeltLine corridor; an estimated 2,500 residents meet these qualifications).

The Atlanta BeltLine Partnership is happy to accept groups of varying sizes to volunteer at any event or volunteer opportunity. We seek individual volunteers to help us execute annual community events and programs such as the Washington Park Jamboree, Run.Walk.Go! Race Series, Lantern Parade and more. We also offer community groups and organizations an opportunity to participate in our “Adopt the BeltLine” program, which plays a direct role in improving and maintaining segments of the Atlanta BeltLine. Volunteers participate by assisting with litter control, invasive plant removal, and other beautification projects. Hours vary, and no expertise is needed.

The beauty of the Atlanta BeltLine is that it offers not only modern conveyances and exciting new development, but it is a living, breathing part of our community; not simply a means of getting somewhere, but a destination unto itself. As part of this commitment, Art on the Atlanta BeltLine (AoAB) was launched in 2010 and continues to be the largest temporary art project in the history of Atlanta. The overall plan for the Atlanta BeltLine includes multiple public venues for local art festivals and performances throughout the 22-mile completed trail corridor.
