Dunwoody Installs Life-Saving AED SaveStations in Four Public Parks
Dunwoody officials have installed four SaveStations equipped with life-saving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in public parks, which they called the first installation of its sort in metro Atlanta.
“SaveStations are essential for saving lives by providing public access to AEDs,” Dunwoody Police Chief Mike Carlson said. “When it comes to cardiac arrest, every second counts. Research shows that combining CPR with an AED can dramatically increase the chances of survival.”
City leaders and staff will officially unveil the first SaveStation at the Brook Run Park playground at 4770 North Peachtree Rd. on Thursday, Feb. 6, at 11 a.m., according to a city press release.

The other SaveStations are located at Two Bridges Park, Pernoshal Park, and the Brook Run Park multi-use fields, ensuring broad accessibility across the community.
According to city officials, each SaveStation cabinet houses a publicly accessible AED designed for easy use by anyone in emergencies. When the cabinet is opened, an alarm sounds, and emergency dispatchers are notified.
