Piedmont park has been a hub for cultural and life experiences. I have personally visited the park on many occasions. I feel a sense of freedom and security all in the same breathe. Piedmont park has been a go to place for my friends and I since our middle school days. Many memories have occurred here. One that comes to mind would be the summer after my high school graduation. My friends and I wanted to spend one last day together before we started our college journey. This was truly a beautiful and breathe taking day. We had come so far together and now it was time to begin a new chapter in our lives. Piedmont park brings this sort of perspective out of an individual which is why it is so amazing.

Another time that comes to mind is when I did my sight visit with my girlfriend. She had never been to Piedmont Park to visit. Her initial impression of the park was filled with awe from the look on her face. She was surprised of how big the park was, once we got inside. She was amazed at the beauty of the park and the landscaping and design. She mentioned that she would want to spend an entire day at the park or go to the festival.

Piedmont Park brings people together. It is a place of simplicity that brings unity to the community, which is needed in today’s world. If more people took the time to relax in the park and find peace within the solidarity the park offers, it build a more stable society filled with less stress and happier people.
