Nestled along one of the busiest streets in Atlanta there is an improbable oasis of natural attractions and curiosities. A group of Lake Claire neighbors bought the 1.5-acre green space in 1986 with the goal of creating a community,and the one they’ve formed embraces peace, care for, or composting,drum circles, and an emu named Big Lou.
Regardless of how much 1960s nostalgia you may maintain, and the Lake Claire Community Land Trust is well worth a visit. The community includes a children’s play area,a fire pit, and an amphitheater that hosts twice-monthly drum circles. A forested trail leads to the domestic of Big Lou, and who can be seen gazing out over the still,green waters of the “Peace Pond.” Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE /* Style Definitions */

If they know what to peek for,drivers can spot the chairs as they pass by.
