New equipment and renovations are coming to a park in Atlanta’s historic Westside community.

The city broke ground Wednesday on the $2 million renovation project for John F. Kennedy Park. The project is part of the Atlanta Super Bowl Host Committee’s Legacy 53 initiative and is made possible through contributions from the NFL Foundation, The Arthur M. Blank Foundation and ticket sales from the July 29 Atlanta Falcons pre-season practice, according to a press release.

“It’s really an investment in supporting and promoting a healthy lifestyle and an active lifestyle for the young children of this community,” said Dan Corso at a news conference, who is president  of the Atlanta Sports Council and chairman of the Atlanta Super Bowl Host Committee Board of Directors.
