The Murphey Candler Park Conversancy (MCPC) was formed by a group of concerned and like-minded neighbors, working with local government and the surrounding community, to help preserve and improve Murphey Candler Park. MCPC is an all-volunteer organization, which means that your financial support goes directly toward helping us improve the Park.
Murphey Candler Park is a 135-acre multi-use park located at 1551 West Nancy Creek Drive in northern DeKalb County and is the largest park in the City of Brookhaven. The park is currently operated by the City of Brookhaven Parks and Recreation Department. Park amenities include multi-use fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool, playgrounds, picnic areas, a lake, and trails. Youth sports are offered through baseball, softballand football programs that operate through the park. The lake is also home to canadian geese, mallards, other ducks and beavers.
BROOKHAVEN PARK BOND PASSES On November 6th, 2018 Brookhaven residents voted and passed the Park Bond. The benefits of the Park Bond to the homeowners of Brookhaven with major capital improvements to the parks throughout the City will provide an immediate impact on our community. The MCPC is working with the City to ensure the improvements to Murphey Candler Park help elevate our park system to the upper echelon in the State of Georgia.
NEW Playground Groundbreaking The MCPC is proud to have successfully completed our Playground Fundraising Campaign of $100,000. We are partnering with the City of Brookhaven to bring a new playground for kids of all ages and abilities. The playground broke ground with a ceremony on October 18th and will be located on the west side of the lake between the Historic Caretaker's Home and the Pool. Thanks to a generous $75,000 grant from Resurgens Charitable Foundation, we look forward to the completion of the new playground by Spring 2019.
