In 2025, the City of Dunwoody installed four SaveStations equipped with life-saving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in public parks. These devices are designed to provide immediate assistance in the event of cardiac emergencies.

The SaveStations are located at Two Bridges Park, Pernoshal Park, and the Brook Run Park multi-use fields and playground, ensuring broad accessibility across the community.

How SaveStations Work

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 while emergency dispatchers are notified, it’s also critical to call 911 immediately. The AED provides clear, audible instructions and includes visual diagrams to guide users through the process, so no training is needed. Once the pads are applied, the AED evaluates the patient’s heart rhythm and administers a shock only if necessary, ensuring safe and effective use.

The SaveStations are located in Dunwoody’s busiest parks. They’re under video surveillance to help keep them secure.
