Westside Park, Atlanta's largest park, is a key attraction in the area, featuring a 35-acre reservoir, trails, and public art installations. It hosts various events, including the Atlanta Westside Park Arts and the Vegan and Vegetarian Festival in April, and Atlanta's RnB and Soul Picnic in May. Center Hill Park, nearby, offers a spray ground for children. Almond Park's homes, primarily traditional and Craftsman-style cottages built from the mid-20th century to early 2000s, are often being remodeled, with new construction on the rise. The neighborhood received a $40 million Choice Neighborhoods Grant in 2023 to enhance affordable housing and revitalize the community. The APCP neighborhood association actively addresses safety concerns through Public Safety Committee meetings.
