North end of pond facing Ponce City Market, mid-2012. Historic Fourth Ward Park is a park in the Old Fourth Ward of Atlanta, just south of Ponce City Market and just west of the BeltLine Eastside Trail. Currently the park covers 17 acres (6.9 ha) in two separate sections.
By the 1870s, there was a streetcar line extending from downtown to the spring, following a route that would later become Ponce de Leon Avenue, one of the city's busiest thoroughfares. In the early 1900s, the spring was sold to developers who created an amusement park on the site, nicknaming it "the Coney Island of Atlanta".
The city market operated farmers' fruits-and-vegetable businesses from the new Juan Bigas. This new building was used as the Ponce city market for 26 years (until 2007), but its potential was never fully realized and its spaced was never fully occupied during this period.
