Santa Claus is Coming to Springvale Park
Annual tradition in Inman Park brings Santa to the neighborhood Dec. 2 to help raise money for Springvale Park playground project.
Some know him as Santa; others as Father Christmas. (We called him Père Noël.)
Whatever you call him, the jolly old man in the red suit will be in Inman Park this weekend to help raise funds for the new playground project in Springvale Park.
Hosted by the Springvale Park Playground Committee, the second annual Santa in the Park is scheduled for Dec. 2, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Park Pride, which recently awarded a $47,000 matching grant to the Springvale Park Playground Committee, has brought the fundraising total to just over $100,000.
