About the Sunny Walker Butterfly Garden

  • Honoree: The garden and statue honor Sunny Walker, a dedicated community visionary and founding member who served as the president of the Friends for the East Cobb Park volunteer organization. Read more here in East Cobb News.


  • Significance: Sunny Walker passed away in 2019. She played an instrumental role in originally identifying, purchasing, and converting the 20-acre land into East Cobb's passive community park.

  • The Sculpture: The plaque on the granite base reads "Sunny's Garden." It features a young girl reaching upward with butterflies and birds resting on her arm, symbolizing joy and a connection to the natural world.
