Donated by a builder when Darlington Commons was under contsruction, a one-acre walking/nature trail has been cleared between the end of Burke Road and Darlington Circle at Darlington Commons Court.  The Darlington Trail is bordered with split rails and covered with natural wood mulch.  It's great for walking the dog, pushing the stroller, or jogging.  There's also a picnic table for you to rest at or simply enjoy a snack or picnic lunch.

   

                                                                                        

The Trail is maintained by volunteers and we are always looking for all nature loving, tree hugging, greenspace advocates to help us continue to develope the trail. In the future we would like to add informational signs identiftying the plantlife and trees, as well as birdwatching spots.
 

A special thanks to Annie Ladisic, a Cadette Girl Scout with Troop #371, lives on Peachtree Drive and chose Peachtree Park to work on her Silver Award. She enhanced the greenery in front of the Nature Trail on Burke Road by organizing a workday where they planted flowering bushes, perennial flowers, and mulch to give the path a more inviting look. With the help of her family, neighbors & friends, she cleaned up the presence of the neighborhood and focused on beautification, including trash pick up at all the neighborhood islands and foot bridge to Lenox. 

 
    

Annie also formatted an educational flyer on Curbside Recycling, printed and distributed to all 550+ Peachtree Park residents.  She notes that if it cannot be recycled curbside, there are 4 containers located directly behind Whole Foods on West Paces Ferry Road (across the street from Henri's).  They will take most items there, including Styrofoam and plastics not recycled curbside.  You may also wish to locate a recycling center for electronics as well as other items at  www.earth911.com

Annie hoped to enhance our immediate environment by reducing waste through recycling, therefore reduction of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFS), improving air quality with her contribution of greenery on our neighborhood Nature Trail.   Please do your part to help save our Mother Earth.
