Burdett Park Brings New Green Space — and Better Connectivity — to Sandy Springs

Real Estate February 24, 2026

Sandy Springs added a small but meaningful new green space last month with the opening of Burdett Park off Burdett Drive. Tucked near the intersection of Johnson Ferry and Abernathy roads, the pocket park connects several established neighborhoods and creates a more welcoming pedestrian link along one of the city’s busiest corridors.
 
What makes this project stand out is how it came together. Residents in the nearby Mountaire Springs community had long pushed for improvements at the intersection after earlier roadway changes left the area feeling unfinished. City leaders partnered with neighbors to turn that request into reality, transforming a stretch of right-of-way into a usable, landscaped public space. It’s a good example of local input translating into visible change.
 
The finished park includes a crushed granite walking path, added lighting, new trees and flowering shrubs, and simple park furnishings that make it easy to stop, walk, or gather. It’s not a large destination park—but it doesn’t need to be. Spaces like this serve as connectors, softening high-traffic areas and making everyday movement through the city feel more intentional.
 
One of the biggest impacts is improved connectivity. Burdett Park now links the Abernathy Arts Center to the linear Greenway Park, creating a more cohesive pedestrian experience on both sides of Johnson Ferry Road. With additional upgrades underway at the arts center, this stretch of Sandy Springs is becoming more than just a pass-through—it’s becoming a place.
 
From a real estate standpoint, these are the kinds of improvements buyers notice. Access to green space, even in smaller formats, adds to a neighborhood’s appeal. Walkability and thoughtful landscaping make established communities feel refreshed without changing their character. Sandy Springs continues to invest strategically, and projects like Burdett Park show how even modest additions can strengthen the overall fabric of the area.
