There is a new neighborhood park in Druid Hills at the corner of Clifton Road and Oxford Road. The park is named Burbanck Park in honor of The Burbanck’s that lived in the house on the property. Emory University purchased the 1.2 acre property in 2006 and the park was dedicated on Earth Day 2007. Emory plans to have the now standing non-historic home removed and the land will be restored to its natural settting. The park will provide a recreational area for the community and will be a nice buffer for the residences of Druid Hills and the commercial district of Emory Village.
