From Wikipedia:
The Old Fourth Ward, often abbreviated O4W, is an intown neighborhood on the eastside of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The neighborhood is best known as the location of the Martin Luther King, Jr. historic site.

The Old Fourth Ward's borders:

West: Piedmont Avenue, across which is Downtown Atlanta
East: the BeltLine, across which are Poncey–Highland and Inman Park
North: Ponce de Leon Avenue, across which is Midtown Atlanta
South: MARTA Green Line and Oakland Cemetery, across which are Grant Park and Cabbagetown
The exception is the area west of Boulevard and south of Freedom Parkway which, although historically part of Atlanta's Fourth Ward (see Atlanta annexations and wards), is considered a separate recognized neighborhood called Sweet Auburn.

The neighborhood can be divided into three areas, with Freedom Parkway and Boulevard serving as dividing lines.

Two of the city's iconic walking and biking trails intersect in the neighborhood:

BeltLine Eastside Trail
Freedom Parkway park and trail
Historic Fourth Ward Park and Skate Park opened in phases starting in 2011 and includes an attractive retention pond. The area around the park has since mushroomed with large apartment buildings.

Other parks include:
Central Park
Renaissance Park and Dog Park
Selena Butler Park
