Meeting Friends/Family/Groups

I'm meeting up with a group. How do I find my folks in the park?

Lucky for you we have an info booth. Your mobile phone reception might be limited in Perkerson Park, so we've talked to most of the big groups that plan to meet at HITP. Your group will probably check in with us at the info booth near the pavilion. We'll let you know where they've set-up.

Not sure your group is that organized, to let us know your meeting at the park?

If you're unsure if your group has let us know that you'll meet at the park – give us a call the day before and we'll let you know. Then instruct your first member to arrive to stop by the info booth near the pavilion to check in. We can direct your people to where you've set up.

Grills

Can I bring my own grill to the park?

Yes you can. Please be considerate of the Park. In previous years, we had quite a few renegade folks to abandoned grills and smoldering coals in the park.

Where can I BBQ?

There are plenty of fixed grills provided for your convenience, in a covered area in the park. Be advised - its first come, first served! So, come early to stake claim to a grill.

Alcoholic Beverages

Can I bring alcoholic beverages to the park?

This is no laughing matter! Atlanta Police Department (APD) and the City of Atlanta Parks Department are very serious about the "open container law".

Please do not have open containers/open alcoholic beverages in your car. While in the park, have your alcoholic beverages in a cup. We'd hate for you to get hemmed up by APD.

Will there be a bar?

Unfortunately we will not have a bar for you to purchase alcoholic beverages from this year.

Keeping the Park Beautiful

Where are the trash cans?

There are plenty of trash cans throughout the park. HITP will bring in an additional 30-yard dumpster for you to toss your trash. Please clean up after yourself.

What can I put in the trash?

You can toss pretty much everything in the dumpster, except for the following:

• Hot coals
• Burning cigarette butts
• Sterno burner containers
• Lighters
• Matches
• Lighter fluid

Basically, don't toss anything that is used to build flames.

Clean-up your mess! Leave the park more beautiful, then when you found it!

Please do your part to be a good steward of this great community and take care of this park.

Pick-up your trash!! Don't leave your picnic items behind. There will be a 30-yard refuse dumpster available for dumping your trash.

Vendor Area

Will there be vendors?

HITP will feature a vendor area, so please bring cash to purchase great products from our vendors.
