Welcome to Morningside Lenox Park Association
The MLPA is an all volunteer organization comprised of the residents of Morningside, Lenox Park and the Johnson Estates.
Our neighborhood is a thriving in-town area filled with wonderful homes, shaded parks, an award-winning elementary school, and terrific neighbors. We have great Restaurants, Shops and Neighborhood Events.
MLPA host two large events each year. In the fall there is the Monumental Ball. This is an excellent opportunity to meet new friends and neighbors while supporting your neighborhood. The Celebration of Summer takes place at the end of the School Year. This is an ALL family event held at Sydney Marcus Park with music,games,Jumpy, and food. I encourage you to attend these two events. Watch the MLPA Web Site for more information.
Morningside/Lenox Park Association could not continue the success without the valuable volunteers we have each year. We also have great pride in our Morningside Security Patrol. We would like to ask ALL Morningside/Lenox Park Residents to join the MLPA along with MLPA Security. Without MLPA Members, our neighborhood could not be where it is today.
Please join us each month for our monthly meetings to learn more about what you can do to help our Neighborhood stay one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Atlanta to live.

The Community's Voice Ignored On Sunset Legislation Vote
The Sunset Legislation for Cheshire Bridge Adult Businesses was defeated Monday at full Council. The legislation would have required the adult businesses in Neighborhood Commercial Districts 4 and 5 on Cheshire Bridge to relocate in 5 years. 6 yes, 9 no, 0 abstentions. Our neighborhood spoke out strongly in support of the legislation. Over 550 people signed the online petition and many, many sent emails to Council. City of Atlanta Planning and Legal Departments supported the legislation and of course, our Council Member Alex Wan, brought the legislation forward and worked hard to get it approved. At the end of the day, the majority of Council Members chose to turn a deaf ear to our plea.
Thank you to all for your signatures, emails, and calls. It was quite an impressive effort and in a better political environment it would have been enough to see it through.
There will be a general regrouping and planning in a few weeks to see what the next steps might be. Stay tuned because we lost the vote but we still live with the problems of a red light district in our back yard.
