SCaRP alumna Sally Bethea (MCP '80), retired executive director of Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, often spends time in Atlanta's Piedmont Park. In her piece for Atlanta Intown, she emphasizes the importance of "common ground" spaces, and how they can affect their surrounding communities.

"The ever-changing tableau never fails to invigorate me."
