Our neighborhood backs up to Oglethorpe University and most of us shop at our local Costco and Publix at Town Brookhaven. We have a 3 historically black churches within our community. We also have Lynwood Recreation Center and Park where lots of us go to swim, play tennis, shoot some hoops, walk, etc.
Lynwood Park is my community, and we are a historically black neighborhood that served Oglethorpe and the wealthier white Brookhaven estates. This area had a black school located in what is now Lynwood Park Recreation Center. Since then, much of the neighborhood has gentrified and many of the original families have moved out. However, we are still a community that lives and plays together at our local schools, the rec center, etc.
People in this neighborhood come from many different walks of life and industries. We are probably one of the more economically diverse areas around, but that is quickly changing.
One of the most important things to our community is affordable housing since so many people from this neighborhood have been displaced by gentrification. In addition, our infrastructure lags behind other areas of Brookhaven because we were a historically underprivileged area. That means our streets are more narrow, there are fewer connection points between our neighborhood and others, and we frequently lose power.
