We are the Stone Mountain Action Coalition (SMAC), a group of concerned citizens and community leaders interested in the future of Georgia’s Stone Mountain Park. We are among the Park’s strongest supporters and advocates for its tremendous potential.

However, the Park’s Confederate theme has greatly tarnished the Park’s image and diminished its visitor pool. With a new management company, Stone Mountain Park has the opportunity to begin anew.

We are eager to work with an incoming management company interested in transforming the Park from a Confederate shrine with the world’s largest Confederate Memorial, into a landscape of racial reconciliation and a symbol of peace.
