Ponce de Leon Park - Postcard Gallery

Ponce de Leon Park was located at the site of the new Midtown Place shopping center on Ponce de Leon Avenue across from the Atlanta police headquarters which are in the former Sears & Roebuck building.

At the site of Ponce de Leon Springs, an amusement park arose and was one of the most popular destinations in the city. The park was beside Ponce de Leon Lake, located where the Home Depot now is.

The Springs were at the location of the current police headquarters across the street. Ponce de Leon Park is where the Atlanta Crackers Baseball started playing at its inception in 1901. The recent book The Crackers - Early Days of Atlanta Baseball has a lot of wonderful information about the team, which played the very last game in Ponce de Leon Park in 1965. The book site also has a link to two multimedia presentations about the Crackers.
