Olmstead Linear Park was planned by Frederick Law Olmstead, Sr. and his sons as part of the Druid Hills subdivision at the start of the 20th century. Threatened by highway development, the park went into disuse and disrepair, but rehabilitation has been ongoing over the past 13 years. In 2012, The Georgia Trust awarded Olmstead Linear Park with the Marguerite Williams Award, presented annually to the project that has had the greatest impact on preservation in the state.
