Lovely neighborhood park with tennis center and jungle gyms, situated near Ashby MARTA station and the Westside Beltline Trail. Prior to the construction of Washington Park in 1919, there were no recreational parks in Atlanta available to African Americans. The park started with a gift of six and a half acres and expanded to 25 acres (100,000 m2) when completed in 1928. It originally included a swimming pool, dance hall, pavilions, and tennis courts. In the midst of a residential area and the namesake of the neighborhood, this park is a uniquely historic spot in Atlanta's history.

Cute little neighborhood park, the namesake of neighborhood. The name comes from the first landowner in the area, Dr. Hiram Mozley, whose lemon elixir promised to relieve heart disease, indigestion, nervous prostration, headache, constipation and neuralgia in the 1920s. This area became an epicenter of white flight in the 1940s and has been a historically black neighborhood since that time. As a result, many of the residences in the neighborhood maintain the historical attributes and integrity with which they were built
