Perkerson Park is a 50-acre (200,000 m2) park in the Capitol View and Sylvan Hills neighborhoods of Atlanta, Georgia with many amenities such as a disc golf course, six tennis courts, basketball half-court, splash pads, an elaborate playground, recreational fields, all under the shady canopy of huge oak trees.

Thomas Jefferson Perkerson married Isabella Ferguson and settled on two Land Lots, numbers 103 and 104.

One of their daughters, Matilda "Till," married Jeremiah Silas Gilbert (1839-1932), a son of the first practicing physician ever to live in what is now Fulton County, and lived in the Gilbert House which is now a City of Atlanta Landmark Site, at 2238 Perkerson Road.

Another daughter, Elizabeth "Lizzie," married Sumner E. Butler from New York and returned to live in the Perkerson home in her later years.

On December 2, 1864 Elizabeth (Lizzie) wrote a letter to her brother Angus while he was in the Confederate Army, at that time located in Virginia.

It covers approximately 50 acres in the southwest portion of the district and serves as a community public space.

The recreation building therein is used for multiple purposes, such as continuing education, neighborhood meetings, and also as the local polling facility.

Thanks to joint efforts from Councilmember Joyce Sheperd, the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs, and the Atlanta BeltLine, neighborhood children now have a fun place to cool off on hot summer days.
