While we all would like dense urban development here, that also just makes parkland that much more precious. The city should be banking parkspace and developing it now while it's still relatively inexpensive land. If you wait until the whole area is dense and developed it will never happen.
Two places in Midtown I'd always thought would be great for parks:

Sorry to detract, but both those park locations are very close to Georgia's Tech's area which is very much dotted with usable greenspace. I would much prefer that the new greenspace areas be in more residential areas than your At&t/BellSouth location and in more desperate locations than your Tech Square parking lot location.
I suggest West Peachtree and Spring Street locations north of 10th Street and below 17th Street.
