The Small Creek Alliance is a community organization dedicated to curbing violence in Central and South DeKalb, Ga through preventive and non punitive measures.
According to 2015 Census Reports, more than 6,000 people call The City of Stone Mountain home. 22% of the population is reported to live below poverty lines, 27% amongst youth. Our research indicates that access to recreation can significantly improve an at risk youth's chances of breaking free from generational poverty cycles. Recreation improves physical and mental health, stimulates local economies, and galvanizes communities locally, nationally, and abroad.
On August 26, 2016 vandals attacked the children's playground, Jim's Place, at McCurdy Park. This playground has been dear to the hearts of the Stone Mountain Village Community for years. The community came together to build the playground, to maintain the playground, and now we will come together to rebuild Jim's Place. The incident occurred a day prior to a community organized revitalization party aimed at improving nearby Medlock Park. This campaign is dedicated to the rebuilding of Jim's Place at McCurdy Park.
