Candler Park & Little Five Points

The Candler Park neighborhood and the Little Five Points business district share both a common border along Moreland Avenue and an interconnected bohemian history. Before being swallowed by Atlanta, Candler Park was a town called Edgewood. Today, it still retains its charming small town vibe. It's a bit like Mayberry, if Andy Taylor biked to work and Aunt Bea baked "special" brownies. Historic craftsman bungalows and smiling young families dominate the landscape. The business district of Little Five Points is Candler Park's younger, counter-culture cousin. Although dotted with head shops and curious teenagers, newer businesses like the Wrecking Bar Brewpub are decidedly more grown-up in nature, a possible sign of changes to come.

The namesake of the neighborhood, this 55-acre park sits on land donated to the city by Coca-Cola magnate Asa Candler in 1922. It features a football or soccer field, basketball and tennis courts, a playground, and a 9-hole golf course on the North side of the park (see the Candler Park Golf Course entry for more on that). The park hosts a few fantastic festivals each year, plus movie nights in the summer. The 2006 effort to naturalize the creek beds that run through the park and golf course has brought beavers, hawks, raccoons, and other wildlife back, sometimes visible while walking the park.
