Mountain Way Common, a developing park along the banks of Little Nancy Creek in north Buckhead, is kicking off 2018 by adding an important piece of land. Friends of Mountain Way Common and Livable Buckhead have announced that Mid Broadwell Partnership has generously donated a 0.56-acre parcel at the corner of N. Ivy Rd. and Mountain Dr., creating an opportunity to add new features to the park.

“The community has wanted to add this land to Mountain Way Common for years,” said Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead, which facilitated the donation. “Its location across the street from the main gateway makes it a perfect place to add a feature that invites people into the park and raises its overall visibility.
