The 50 best parks and gardens in Atlanta

Shakey Knees 2025 My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on Saturday 9/20/25 at Piedmont Park for Shakey Knees. We went to see Tv on the Radio. They were absolutely fabulous. We also enjoyed seeing Johnny Marr, Cage the Elephant, and of course My Chemical Romance. We got the GA+ tickets, and the ammenties were great. It was nice to stretch out and have enough room to relax. The AC bathrooms were top notch, and we loved the Comp drink options. We got food at Get Baked, Mosh Burger and the Pizza joint. I absolutely loved the veggie burger that Mosh makes. This was my second Shakey Knees festival, and my boyfriend's first time in the ATL. Such incredible memories! Can't wait to see the line-up for next year's festival. Thank you Shakey Knees!

Lovely park that’s well kept. Brilliant place for all ages to enjoy yourselves in a safe environment. Fantastic athletic fields and tennis courts. Bathrooms are clean.

Huge lovely green space for cycling, picnics, walks or jogging.. Concert space restrooms. Electric scooter & bikes. Easy start for the Beltline walk. Nice street art & graffiti. Atlanta biggest & most popular park. Free entry best to walk Marta or use rideshare.

Visited for One Music Fest and it was absolutely amazing! Plenty vendors, lots of restrooms,and great acts! Had a very great time and I look forward to next year's line up!

Lots of green space and pedestrian trails close to residential neighborhoods and urban amenities. Free and home to many community events. Botanical garden is a paid entry but only a portion of the area inside the park.

I spent a sunny afternoon exploring Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta, and it deserves five stars. The park is vast and beautifully maintained—perfect for walking, jogging, biking, or just lounging on the grass with a skyline view that never gets old. Whether you're coming for a stroll, playing fetch with your pup in the off-leash dog park, or enjoying a picnic by Lake Clara Meer, there's something for everyone. What makes the park extra special are its amenities: an ADA-accessible pool with lap lanes, current-channel for floating, scenic fountains, and concessions—great for cooling off on warm days. Families will love the playgrounds, especially the artistic Noguchi Playscapes with modern sculptures and slides that double as public art. Piedmont Park is the city’s event stage for festivals like Dogwood Festival, Atlanta Pride, Music Midtown, and more—bringing energy and culture each season. But even without an event, the park radiates calm—great shady spots, restrooms, and enough paths and benches so you can easily settle in for a peaceful break. The Conservancy behind the park has big plans too: expect new walking and bike trails, better restrooms, expanded tree canopy, and creative paths weaving through the treetops—making an already amazing park even better in the years ahead. All around, Piedmont Park feels like the heart of Atlanta—green, welcoming, and full of life.

Piedmont Park is truly the heart of Atlanta. It’s the perfect place to relax, go for a walk, or just sit and enjoy the views. The reflection of the city skyline on the water is absolutely stunning—especially around sunset. Whether you’re into jogging, picnics, or simply people-watching, this park offers a little bit of everything. Always peaceful yet full of life. A must-visit if you’re in Atlanta!

Amazing park — super clean, well-maintained, and beautiful. Unfortunately, there are no restrooms since it’s more of a spot for local residents.

I went here at night with family it was pretty to me. Some things I think would be best to view during the day for example the murals. I say this because I like art and without proper lighting it just look dull in some spots. It is busy but everyone was respectful of the walk ways and each other. To my fellow introverts while this is not typical it was fun. But if you do want to go it might be best to go when it's not that busy with foot traffic. I think you would enjoy it.

Beautiful scenery and a spacious grassy area perfect for relaxing or picnicking. The landscaping is well-maintained and makes for a peaceful escape in the city. The only downside is that the walkway can get super crowded on nice days, so be prepared for some foot traffic.

Was here at Mason's Super Dogs Grand opening on the beltline, Young teenage entrepreneur. Second location? Other location in DeKalb County. This location on the Beltline by the skatepark is an amazing place to have these wonderful, tasty hot dogs and he has a vegan dog so he has something for everybody

Great spot to relax and eat with a blanket or chairs.. Also a great spot to meditate 🧘‍♀️. Parking is free but limited around the park.

I visited this park for a back to school event for my little cousins did not disappoint. There was a running trail i ran on and the playground was huge! It also had sprinklers

One of the best designed urban parks in America. To see Atlanta by bike, visit our guide at Bikabout.

Expected more space before I visited, however it’s covered in Olympic history/cultire. Very cute and green park!!! Nice waters and even a spot for the children to play, clean public bathrooms, surprisingly a nice place to even do a picnic! I liked it a lot

A nice enough park which is pleasant to walk through and has a good number of things to admire. It’s well kept and a popular place, with some nice restaurants and bars surrounding. Well worth taking the time to wander through on any first time in the city.

Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta is one of the city’s most iconic and beautifully maintained public spaces, created as a legacy of the 1996 Olympic Games. Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, the park serves as both a tribute to the Olympic spirit and a lively gathering place for residents and visitors alike. Its open green spaces, fountains, and scenic walkways make it an ideal destination for relaxation, recreation, and reflection. The park is immaculately maintained throughout the year. The lawns are lush and green, flower beds are well-kept, and the cleanliness of the pathways and seating areas is commendable. The landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to create a balance between open areas and shaded spots, allowing visitors to enjoy the park comfortably in every season. Whether you are out for a walk, a jog, or simply to unwind after visiting nearby attractions like the World of Coca-Cola or the Georgia Aquarium, the park offers a refreshing break from the urban rush. One of the most striking features of Centennial Olympic Park is the Fountain of Rings, a spectacular interactive water fountain designed in the shape of the Olympic rings. It is a favorite spot for families, especially children, who love playing in the dancing waters synchronized to music. In the evenings, the fountain show with colorful lights and music creates a joyful atmosphere that draws crowds and photographers alike. The park also holds great historical and emotional significance. Several monuments and plaques across the area commemorate the 1996 Summer Olympics and honor athletes and volunteers who contributed to its success. There’s a sense of pride and nostalgia in the air as you walk through, reminding visitors of Atlanta’s moment on the global stage. The Olympic torch replica and engraved bricks featuring the names of donors and supporters add to the charm and authenticity of the experience. In terms of accessibility, the park is very visitor-friendly. There are wide, well-marked walkways suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. Public restrooms, security personnel, and seating arrangements are available throughout the park. The surrounding area is vibrant, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, and attractions within walking distance. Public transportation and parking facilities are also conveniently located nearby. The park frequently hosts live concerts, cultural events, and seasonal festivals, which bring it to life with energy and music. During holidays, especially around Christmas and New Year, the decorations and lighting make the entire area look magical. Despite being located in a busy part of the city, the park maintains a peaceful and family-friendly environment. Overall, Centennial Olympic Park is a must-visit landmark in Atlanta — a place that combines history, beauty, and recreation. It represents the city’s transformation from its Olympic legacy into a modern, welcoming hub for all. Whether you’re a local seeking a relaxing afternoon or a traveler exploring downtown Atlanta, this park offers a memorable and uplifting

A must-visit Atlanta landmark right in downtown. The park offers plenty of picnic areas and clean restrooms, making it convenient for families and groups. It’s a pleasant place for a walk, and you’ll also find many attractions nearby to explore.

As my first time in Atlanta, visiting this park was on my top to do list recommended by lot of “things to do in Atlanta“. The park was clean and felt safe since it’s right across the aquarium and World of Coca-Cola, we crossed right over after visiting those experiences. The park had a nice walking trail around the park but aside from that there wasn’t too much to do or vendors around. For my first time experience, this park was very interesting and found a lot of history to it. To me this is more of a one time experience but definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Atlanta for their first time. Note: the Ferris wheel is right across the street. I recommend doing it to get night view and pictures of the downtown skyline 🏙️. 🙂 Time: 40 minutes Clean: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crowd: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Interactive: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Centennial Olympic Park is a true gem in the heart of the city. The park is amazingly maintained, with pristine green spaces, sparkling water features, and immaculately clean pathways. It's clear that a great deal of care goes into keeping the park in such good order. The beautiful landscaping and well-kept facilities make for a peaceful and enjoyable experience, whether you're strolling through the grounds, relaxing by the Fountain of Rings, or attending one of the many events. The park's cleanliness and excellent upkeep truly enhance its beauty and make it a must-visit destination.

I had the chance to come to Centennial Olympics Park after visiting the Aquarium. Such a peaceful and quiet park. It was well maintained and there were not a lot of people. I love a nice good park area to take a step away from the city vibes.

This is a wonderful park with only one downfall, and that's all the homeless people. This one guy full out did his laundry and was letting it dry by the fountain. This is too nice of a place for Atlanta and it's residents and tourists to let it go like that. I'm sure there are churches and shelters for this people to go. The police need to direct them to the right location and not here.

Nice city park, nice greenage. Nice little outside gym area for workouts and a playground for kids and a center area for events. Good meeting place too. Just a fair amount of homeless here.

This park is total fill up with the homeless people. Last night at around 9 clock, a lady was screaming and no one decided to look inside as it was too dark, the park does not have light. I don't blame people who didn't go to check as we check our safety first.I was just worried what if a homeless people drag a lady or student to the park and doing something bad. Please install light in the park so if something happens people can see and call for help.

The park is good, especially with its unique fountains. However, the place is quite dirty and has an unpleasant smell. The Atlantic City authorities should address these issues

It's barely a park. More of a home for homeless.

A beautiful park in Downtown Atlanta. Fountains everywhere. Nice benches to sit. However, did not find the place safe. The park is filled with homeless people. Hence would not recommend to visit here anytime after late evening.

This is not an accessible park. I was disappointed as the picture does not represent what the place has become. I wanted to enjoy Chess with my son. Unfortunately, it is over ran with homeless people. Sad sight.

Love this Park and all the curious wonders! I have had the pleasure of working with decav county on some restorative and creative features. The walk is very scenic. You can even take an off beaten trail and hike along the creek. This a heavily populated park, you don't have to feel concerned for your safety. It is stroller and dog friendly. There are concrete paths boardwalks, off beaten trails of interest with gardens. etc.

Mason Mill Park offers scenic wooded trails, a great playground, and well-kept tennis courts. The boardwalk through the forest is a highlight. It’s peaceful, shaded, and perfect for walking, biking, or family fun. A hidden gem for nature lovers.

Great Park for our 2 year old. He had a great time. So many people but didn't seem to packed so a lot of space.

This park is in poor condition. Graffiti covers various areas, and there are homeless belongings like bags and carts in the restrooms. The restrooms lack toilet paper and soap, and the smell is overwhelming. Along the trail, the trash bins are overflowing. It's clear this park is not well-maintained.

The best place to walk/run on the trail especially during summer. It's shaded by beautiful trees in most of the places.

This park located off Clairmont Road near the Atlanta VA Medical Center is a beautiful park to take your kids out to play, have a picnic, or play a game of tennis. There are 2 different playgrounds right next to each other as well as a Tennis complex, short soccer field, and picnic pavilions. There is also several fresh patches of grass if you want to have a more traditional picnic with a blanket and such including near the Garden Club area. Just be wary of any ground yellow jacket nests especially during the summer!

Park is very nice. Large clean. Has a few gazebos with fire pit for barbecuing several benches One bench can fit 10 average size adults comfortably Very nice playground for children with swings and slides. And Lots of parking

Yesterday was my first visit here with my grandkids and it's my new favorite park to take them now! We had the best time!!

This is Bobby Jones Golf Course for golfing instruction. The day was beautiful and the instructors quite professional. Different aspects of golfing was explained which lead to a great time had by all. Go there!

This is a great little park by the river. Nice for a quick stroll, a quiet sit, lunch, or a trip with your kids to the playground.

Great playground equipment for kids. My kids love the slides and also going on “nature walks” along the river. FYI- no restrooms near this playground. There’s quite a bit of tree shade cover so it’s not too unbearable in the summer heat.

Great place to walk, run, bike, or even enjoy sweeping views of the city, golf course, trees. Very well planned and well maintained wide concrete trail. Connects to proctor creek trail which will take you downtown or midtown. The trail is a 3 mile loop around the golf course with various connections to other trails either planned or existing. Lots of wide open spaces for kids to play as well.

Great place.kids Loved it so much! But there were no bathrooms. there was some cool art and nice nature trails to walk on and we will definitely come back.

This playground is surrounded by lots of nature and a river. The play equipment is unique, new, and clean. Things to note: there isn’t a designated parking area (you just park on the street).

I enjoy this quaint little place. It's peaceful, even when there are a handful of people sitting and moving about. It's attached to another park with a playground. Great place to bring your dogs. Not super big, but plenty of room.

this is a beautiful space with so much green & big trees. it has porch swing type wooden swings that encourage you to sit awhile & take in the scene. an amazing elevating park experience in the middle of the city!

Winn Park is stunning for weddings—lush, romantic, and serene. Skip the heels; flats are your friend here! Bring bug spray if you’ll be there awhile. The nature and vibe are beyond gorgeous!

This is a series of fairly small, in-town parks with some nice looking, man-made ponds that people seem to like using as photo backgrounds (I saw several people having professionals take their photos during my visits). There is also a kids playscape area along with some benches nearby. I didn't see any pavillions, picnic tables or BBQ areas, but I did notice a stone amphitheater (it looked like you'll need to provide seating, though). It might be important to note that this entire park is in a very low area (every entrance that I came across was a steep downhill path into the park - at least a 40 percent grade), so if it rains, I'd imagine that any event held there would need to be canceled due to flooding or excessive mud (unless your event is swimming or mudding).

This place is a hidden gem in Midtown. It's a standard park, but that's what makes it great: It is locals only, filled with great people who have amazing dogs. You can see the tops of skyscrapers from here, but rest assured that you'll feel right at home here even though you're in the heart of Midtown.

Great park very clean and well maintained. It’s quiet and there’s always nice people with cute pups for your fur babies to play with!

Beautiful park in Ansley, great for dog walks and relaxing. Fair warning, many neighbors let their dogs off leash in the park so take care if you have a reactive dog.

We ended up here because Legoland was closed—turns out Mother Nature doesn’t hang an “out of service” sign. 🌳✨ Honestly, it was the best surprise. We saw a deer 🦌, played on all the toys, did the exercise stations (even the adults got moving!), and walked the whole park. The highlight was splashing around on the creek’s stepping stones—muddy feet, shoes off, all smiles. Barefoot adventures > screen time any day. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, family-friendly spot to just be together, this place is a little hidden gem. Highly recommend for simple, happy memories. 💚

There is something for everyone at this park. The play area is a decent size. There’s a large play structure and a smaller one. There are lots of toys that spin, a tire swing, 3 regular swings, 3 toddler swings and an accessible swing. There are a few different types of monkey bars, and a small zip line. The playground is over wood chucks. If you walk a little ways on the trail, there’s an exercise park shaded by the trees. Each piece of equipment had instructions for workouts. There’s also a creek and a bridge if you go a little ways past the exercise equipment. We didn’t go much further but my children had a great time.

Brought the babies out here to enjoy themselves. Very cute small trail with 2 playgrounds and a little workout area.

A charming park with walking trails, lots of playground equipment, picnic tables & swings. Every community should be so lucky as to have a "Little Nancy Creek Park" There was even a community garden. This is an excellent place to take the kids or the dog. A great place to go for lunch.

A quaint little park with a river that runs thru it. Beautiful.

This is an absolutely beautiful and fun park! My daughters loved it! There is a little creek that runs by it as well! One word of advice though if you have a car that sits close to the ground you might want to enter and exit the parking lot at an angle, otherwise you might bottom out a little

Great park and walk in the middle of Atlanta, small and large playground sets for many ages to enjoy. Here today with 20+ people and plenty of room for all to enjoy.

Historic cemetery that is now a park. Lots of families and dog walkers but not too busy. Visitor Center with cute gift shop and restrooms. We booked a tour with Jihan. She gave a fantastic talk about the history, focusing on “We Shall Overcome”

I am so glad we visited this historic cemetery. The history was fascinating. The various plants and trees were beautiful. We walked from our hotel which was closer to Centennial Olympic Park and had to walk through a questionable neighborhood though. If we were to do it again, I would Uber.

This place is rad. If you like cemeteries you'd is a must see. They have some things I've never seen before. Have a few famous sites like Kenny Rogers. It's just a neat ol cemetery. I walked around in here for over an hour looking at all of it. Probably one of the best I've visited. Don't know about parking because I walked here. 🤷

There is so much history in this historical cemetery located in Atlanta. So peaceful , gorgeous flowers, statues, mausoleum, headstones, and pathways. They have a gift store & welcome center across from the cemetery. Events often take place here. The cemetery is free to go to, except if it is having an event.

I attended Capturing the Spirit of Oakland for the first time and I found it to be incredible! During a time when so much of our history is being erased it was nice to know that important stories are still being told. Highly recommend everyone go and enjoy this event.

20/10. My FAVORITE place in Atlanta. Dead serious 🖤 The history mixed with the incredible gardens mixed with the intricate architecture of the headstones and mausoleums is always fascinating. The entire cemetery feels so peaceful and welcoming, even in the winter months. Every time I come, it feels like seeing it for the first time. I truly truly love Oakland! Shout out to all the volunteers who dedicate their time and knowledge to helping preserve and grow such a beautiful memorial to those buried there. As far as gardens go, it definitely takes an army to maintain and they do so expertly! The grounds are a welcome oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of ATL. Last night I was able to attend the Illumine event for the first time and it was SO so cool! Awesome music, art installations and lighting! Seeing the cemetery at night like that was killer. Can’t wait for next year! Just to clarify, there is no entry fee just to visit on a normal day. These photos are from the Illumine event which is ticketed.

A magical celebration at Oakland Cemetery! The Dia de los Muertos event was absolutely stunning — vibrant altars, beautiful performances, and such a warm sense of community. You could feel the love and reverence for tradition in every corner. The colors, music, and food made it both reflective and joyful, a perfect blend of remembrance and celebration. Oakland’s historic setting added a hauntingly beautiful backdrop that made the evening feel timeless. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Biggest negative is parking/access. Lots of cool birds and animals (deer, snakes, turtles etc) It has some decent foot traffic so you don’t ever feel like you’re “lost” but If you’ve ever been to other parks in the area and haven’t been here it’s definitely worth checking out. Not my first choice as I’d prefer Daniel Johnson or Moringside Nature Preserve as those you really feel like you’re in the woods. But if you’re close by check out, not sure it’s worth more than a 20 min drive.

It was truly a pleasant surprise for me and my wife during our present stay in Atlanta, when our daughter and son-in-law took us around this stunningly beautiful area ... a heaven for nature's lovers. We couldn't believe we were in the middle of the city within the Emory University area. I would call it a 'hidden gem' in Atlanta. It was tranquil, peaceful, and strolling around a serene lake on semi paved pathways was a wonderful experience. My three years old grand daughter too thoroughly enjoyed her walk... and was excited to see plenty of geese and a couple of deers. Would highly recommend a walk over the suspension bridge near the waterfall. Would love to spend some time here every time we visit Atlanta.

Start the trail at Hahn Woods on Houston Mill Rd. Down the wooden stairs and to the right. Just follow it from there. The creek bank is full of honeysuckle. The trail takes you right under the Houston Mill / Mason Mill overpass where you will find the old bridge covered in kudzu vine and tree branches... reminiscent of the old/lost city. Keep going. There is a tree here so wide and tall it looks like it could talk to you... that's about halfway. The trail will begin to open up a little bit; you've reached the Preserve. Tranquil water rushing. Bridges crossing overhead. The old stone tower is striking... full of history and wonder. This is a magical place.

It was an amazing experience to to take my good friend to release her mother's ashes. It was peaceful. It's hidden but respectfully, it should remain hidden I recommend going with just a few friends. Highlight of my trip.

Great place to get a hilly run in with plenty of paved asphalt road space & nature

Heavenly preserve on Emory campus!! Easy to talk. Family friendly ❤️

Entered from Emory's 'secret entrance'. Little path and gate are hard to see unless you know where to look. Otherwise, the preserve was great. Nothing big on the trails, empty enough to enjoy yourself but enough people and dogs around to make sure you don't feel too lost in the woods.

I visited Tanyard Creek Park with my dog, Moose, and we loved it! It’s such a peaceful, relaxing spot—perfect for walking or jogging. The trail is beautiful and even connects to other paths if you’re in the mood for a longer run. Everything was clean and well-kept, and the natural surroundings make it feel like a little escape in the city. We’ll definitely be back!

Good trail for walking and biking. Lots of bridges and great view of the golf course. Definitely recommended to anyone. Great place to start would be the Tanyard Creek Parking which has almost 10 cars to park. The bike trail was nearly 3 miles long with good elevation and decend for casual fun.

Great park very close to Buckhead. As expected, parking is a slight hassle but the playground is really good for kids. Beware of snakes. We saw one while waking and an eagle swooping in to take it.

I love this park! Right on the beltline trail and lots of amazing natural light and vibes. It's always quiet and good spots for meditating. Currently there are about 10 great homes for sale in the area. If you are looking to buy or sell, contact me, your Homegirl Danielle on Facebook.

Tanyard is a sweet little park that’s very beautiful and peaceful. I loved seeing families and groups of people playing games in the grass or walking the Beltline Trail. The trail is great and very scenic. Perfect for pets, kids - the whole family.

Good Park hidden in the cut with a lot of open space. What is awesome is that it has the BeltLine trail running through and you’re able to get a good workout in. The scenery is beautiful and picturesque, we will definitely be taking our children back again to take in more details 😊

A cool green area next to Tanyard Creek, which is an "urban creek" connected to sewerage. The "park" area is a little green open field & and a trail (also known as Northside trail) that is cool to walk/run through. The trail is part of the Beltline project. Some street parking is available on Walthall drive and there is a parking lot on Collier called "Northside Trail Parking" on Google Maps, with space for 5-6 cars. Overall this is a very pleasant local park with a good view of Tanyard Creek itself, but no meant to handle lot of traffic. There is a small playground attached to Walthall Dr. No restrooms.

My little ones really enjoyed this park. The splash pad was super cute and age appropriate. The 3 star rating is because there were some safety hazards within the splash pad. I will definitely be reaching out to the parks and recreational department. Overall, it was a 👌🏾visit.

Cool playground and plenty of covered seating for parties, but the water splash area is the really unique attraction. Great for extra hot days. Woulda been 5 stars if there was basketball

Most excellent park. Water area, workout zone, traditional slide and swings, cook out area, lots of green grass, and a baseball field. Only downside is the lack of shade over some play areas but it's by far a better than most

Awesome park for kids. One of the best in Atlanta. Several play areas, a slashpad, and a bunch of green grass for dogs. Up there with with Old 4th Ward Park except for less people. Definitely going back!

As working for CEO, Center for Employment Opportunities, it is my job to make sure that the parks are clean and safe

Great place to take the kids for the summer break with the splash pad making it a fun experience for the kiddos

The park was great! The vibe was welcoming and the park was clean. There were joggers on the trail nearby, people walking their dogs, and kids playing. The water to the water play area was on and the restrooms were clean.

This is a really good place to visit if you are in Atlanta and want to understand its past. The location is perfect and the grounds are beautiful. Everyone should see the Cyclorama, the Swan House and Olympics area. There was a great exhibit on Hank Aaron as well. My only negative is that there are too many kids that are allowed to run around the museum and treat it like it is a playground. This is not specific to the kids section. Inside the Swan House, there was a group of half a dozen kids running up and down the stairs. Inside the Hank Aaron exhibit, there was a group of young kids seemingly on a field trip running laps and playing. I don't think I ever saw one museum employee the entire time. It really takes away from the experience of a museum. I also want to point out that the gift shop could use better options also. We were looking for a magnet of the Center and could not find one. This is rare for a museum of this type.

The cyclorama was truly stunning. Words cannot describe the amount of effort the 17 German artists must’ve went through to paint it, and the effort put into preserving it. So happy it was though! The video presentation was great and I would recommend it for a little bit more insight on the history of it. The Swan House was also beautiful, an astonishing statement in architecture and it was fascinating to see what house style house was for people with high status.

My kid had great time in the Goizueta Children’s Experience Place. There were plenty of things to play and my toddler spent almost two hours playing with toys, slide, games etc. The gallery was very spacious and clean, and there was always staff inside to help in case you need anything. This is definitely a favorite place of my family and it is nuce that the Atlanta History Center offers famliy pass so we can revisit anytime.

The Atlanta History Center was genuinely one of the most incredible places I have ever set foot in. We learned so much in the span of the couple hours we were there. As visitors from Orlando, the Atlanta History Center really allowed us to experience Atlanta culture and the rich history that the city has. We did the guided tour of the Smith Farm and our tour guide was great - she also tended the farm along with a man who I don’t remember the name of. Both of them were so sweet and made our trip very memorable. We also got to pet some adorable goats at the farm. The one thing I will say is, get there early and plan to spend the day. We thought we would be able to get through the museum in 3 hours but we weren’t able to explore the gardens and a few of the exhibits due to time. We plan to visit again and explore the rest of the AHC. This visit was the highlight of our trip. Thank you to everyone who makes this place possible, and the experience so surreal. To get to experience this was a privilege.

I always recommend the Atlanta History Center to anyone from out of town. It's a great retelling of the city's history and has several features that add to its unique charm. Between the panorama, the Swan House, and the grounds, a day at the AHC is a day well spent.

Overall, I enjoyed my time at the Atlanta History Center despite some exhibition closures since there is plenty of things to see and learn about the aspects of Atlanta. The Swan House was especially interesting since almost everything in that house are originals dating back to the early 20th century or earlier.

I really enjoyed this place! The BEST museum I have visited in Atlanta thus far! So much history! and so much to see! I will definitely be back God willing! This experience was exceptional! Not to mention, this museum is super clean!

Great area. The courts aren’t typically too crowded and there’s a nice playground, soccer field, basketball court, and tennis courts

Nice park that I didn't know anything about. Came for a field day event. There is a basketball court, tennis court. Soccer field and nice play ground for children. The only thing I noticed was that there were no restroom unless I missed it. Parking is small so be prepared to park on the side street once it fills up. Nice field to have a pinics.

A pocket park with playgrounds, settings, tennis courts, a basketball court, and a soccer field. Pros: - Two playgrounds for variety of ages - Baby and child swings - Kids rock climbing wall - Kids play excavator Cons: - No bathroom that I saw - Some trash/litter around

Great park with 2 playground areas, basketball court, tennis court, and soccer/football field

Dope experience. To working basketball goals. Playground could have been pressure washed but still a fun playground for kidso

Good park, but pickleball courts don’t have nets.

Came here after 2 hours of window shopping and walking all premises & levels of Lenox Mall. After getting my steps in, I stopped by Shady Valley Park to run one mile and finish off with body weight strength training. Didn't really go far off the street lights since nobody was really around. It was somewhat dark but sure will be back to explore some time during the warmer days

When I think of peace on earth Murphey Candler Park, comes to mind. It is a wonderful park with a lake in the city of Brookhaven, not far from Perimeter Mall. You feel the Lord's presence all around from seeing the geese, turtles, heron and hearing frogs croaking. There are picnic tables to bring family and enjoy each other's company. It's a nice place to fish, ride bikes, play baseball, walk on the trails or simply enjoy the serenity of sitting by the lake. If you need a break from bumper to bumper traffic come to Murphey Candler Park, where there's plenty of free parking and restrooms open to the public.

It's a quick walk around the park, but you can also do laps around it. There is plenty of wildlife to see out here. Storms that came through made the trail extremely muddy in certain areas. Power lines are low in some areas and on the ground in one spot. One big parking and a small on the other side of the park.

Free parking. I couldn't see any restroom, there might be one across the park, at the baseball field. The map said 30 minutes trail but it took 40 minutes for me. Plenty of benches around the park. I'd definitely visit again!

Beautiful park that’s perfect for anyone, whether it’s a nice walk with friends, a family cookout, a fun time in the playground for children, or just doing a photoshoot. Lots of wildlife too, makes each visit exciting

A beautiful park with a lake that you can fish in. Beautiful trails and a couple of playgrounds in the woods. Watch out, it can get muddy from the rain in some areas. There are restrooms by the ball fields.

It’s ok here, have been to better parks. It is clean, kid and dog friendly. It is a little secluded so I would recommend visiting with a friend. Dog park has a small and large dog separate which is nice, but it is lacking any shade especially the small dog area which also does not have any rocks or agility toys like some other dog parks. It is located at the far end of the park, which again I would not go alone.

This park has been a constant in our lives for years. It’s where we go to clear our minds, take family walks, and squeeze in trail runs when time is tight (though you’ll need a few laps if you’re training for anything longer than a 10K). The trails are peaceful and shaded, and the whole space feels like a retreat tucked into our little corner of DeKalb. We taught our kids to ride bikes, skate, and run at the pocket park, and even had family photos taken there. It’s the kind of place where you bump into neighbors and friends without planning to—one of those rare public spaces that truly fosters community. The infrastructure investments over the past few years have made a noticeable difference. While a few old favorites are gone, the park is in the best shape it’s been in a decade. Clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully updated. Murphy Candler Park isn’t just a place to visit—it’s part of our family’s story. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a versatile, welcoming, and beautifully kept green space.

Beautiful disc golf course- but the park bathrooms have been closed for a while. Different pads available based on skill level, and watch out for some steep hills (depending on where your disc lands). Also, consider wearing waterproof boots for stream crossing!

This park was thriving on Memorial Day weekend. I decided to take a stroll and get a better feel for what the park was like. It's right off of Metropolitan Pkwy in West End Atlanta. It's a pretty clean park with nice outdoor space the whole family can enjoy. Next to the covered pavilion is an outside fountain for kids to run around and get wet. I also saw tennis and basketball courts in the park. The real highlight for me was the nature trails that seemed to be hiding behind the more opened spaces. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed my little nature hike. There is a lovely creek that runs through the trail. There were a couple of groups enjoying a hike while playing disc golf. I'm already looking forward to visiting again.

Great for kids. They have one of the only disc golf courses within the City. Good place to walk your dogs or have a picnic.

This is a really spacious park!! There is a playground that's like 3-in-1, there's a splash pad for the kids to get wet on the hot summer days right next to a restroom for changing and using. There's a half court for basketball. Plenty of open space for picnics or playing with your pup. No dog park tho. But it's really pleasant!!

Beautiful park, that is ruined with broken glass, misc trash, and a community that doesn't care. This area could be absolutely amazing but it is taken for granted and used as people's garbage can

Enjoyed the tennis courts! 6-court tennis space (3 shared a side), part of a quiet and safe neighborhood.

Hidden gem right in the city! This park is huge and scenic with plenty to do; baseball fields, basketball courts, tennis, trails, playgrounds. My personal favorite is the disc golf course. Its the only one in the perimeter and pro level with some truly unique holes. My only complaint of the park would be the litter. It could definitely benefit from a consistent cleaning crew.

When it comes to baseball training, coach Alex and I are always looking for spots that feel right — good space, good energy, and no distractions. Chastain Park has become one of our favorite places to train, and it never disappoints. We usually go once or twice a week, and it’s always a blast. Whether I’m pitching or batting, it’s just solid reps and good vibes. The field’s got great space, the setup is clean, and it really offers an awesome baseball experience for anyone trying to level up their game. If you’re looking for a place to train, vibe out, and actually enjoy the grind, Chastain Park delivers.

Great park that have it all you can walk run bike etc etc. They have about anything you need in this park swimming pools baseball for the kids football tennis and even horse riding lessons. Nice big playground for the kids. And to make it better you can bring your 4 legged friend with you. Beautiful park with lots of big trees and nice creeks that make the scenery even better.

Very pretty park with nice walking paths and cool looking mushrooms 🍄 🍄

Beautiful trails and lots of activities

Paid for parking handicapped accessible didn't receive parking thank God I had a electric wheelchair! Old venue ticket line long even for online purchase. Finally got a ride on golf cart into venue after getting in still a 20 minute delay to handicapped accessible seats concert started at 7 didn't get seated until about 8:30 won't be returning to this venue but Uncle Charlie was on point didn't expect less at least we saw his whole set.

Wonderful park! Chastain Memorial Park is located in Buckhead, Atlanta. Did you know Chastain Memorial Park is over 260 acres that includes walking paths, playgrounds, tennis courts, a golf course, a public swimming pool, baseball, horsemanship park, amphitheater and more. So make sure to pack a lunch, take your bathing suit, football and whatever you need to enjoy your day at the park. I loved the slide 🛝. I took a couple videos 📸

Parking is terrible and poor lightning. Also they were checking bags as if we were criminals I wonder if they do this for other concerts.

This garden is like a breath of fresh air in the middle of the urban hustle. It’s surprisingly quiet, despite being close to the main road. The trees are tall and lush, creating a natural canopy that provides shade even on sunny days. The walking paths are wide and stroller-friendly. A perfect spot for meditation or simply escaping noise and screens.

Nice little neighborhood park. We noticed the kiddie swings were definitely high, so just be ready to lift them babies high to situate them! Tall people friendly swings. 😆

Beautiful little park in Cabbagetown with a nice playground. Parking is limited on the street so do park in surrounding blocks to avoid parking challenges. Nice tree cover to get away from a hot sun. Easy to walk to restaurants

Cabbagetown, a historic neighborhood near Atlanta, Georgia, developed in the late 19th century as housing for workers of the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill. Its unique name is rooted in local lore, most popularly attributed to mill workers growing cabbages in their yards as a cheap food source, leading to the neighborhood smelling of the vegetable. This distinctive name reflects the area's working-class origins and tight-knit community spirit. Today it is built with new homes on the old winding Atlanta streets. You will need to stop close your eyes and take a deep breath to be able to smell cabbage town.

Very congested. I have a 5k run tomorrow and I am concerned about parking. Overall, a nice residential area but not sure if ideal to host a race.

Very cute little park/playground. Plenty of greenery for picnics, a short stroll around the little trail and a playground for the kiddos.

Great community park and space. Playground is very well kept and clean. Great picnic area for fun, family and friends!

It was my first time there. Great service from the second you walk in the door. Food is good and the views of planes landing and taking off really set the mood and atmosphere. Definitely recommended for all ages

We have been visiting since my boys were babies. There is a restaurant and a beautiful playground where children can watch the planes land and take off. Anytime we get lucky and meet a pilot there, they talk with my sons and answer their rapid fire questions.

Amazing experience at this small airport! Friendly staff, smooth operations, and a relaxed atmosphere made our flight with a friend truly enjoyable. Perfect spot for a hassle-free takeoff and landing. Highly recommend!

Obnoxiously loud, making it a bad experience to live within a 3 mile radius. Hearing airplanes IN your house and on your porch when trying to relax is awful, but I’m sure no one who utilizes or operates the airport cares. 2 miles away and the planes are so loud you actually can’t even have a conversation in your back yard when one is flying over head, you have to just stop talking a wait.

This was such a fun spot. Good beer, great atmosphere, and very cool view of the airport runway. There is also a little park next door for the kiddos. Very cool spot, delicious food, we will be back!

PDK is nice facility close to downtown Atlanta. We were there for the Good Neighbor Day airshow, May 2022, and had a great time.

It was a great experience. Our pilot from Signature Helicopter Tours was fantastic. He was a gr8 help with overcoming my fears.

Beautiful small pocket park, nestled in the neighborhood. Very serene and a great place to unwind. Nature and wild life to be carefully observed and enjoyed. Do yourself a favor, take a walk, drive, or bike here, and relish in its charm ✨

Such a quaint neighborhood surprise. High quality 3-story playground with long slide and firefighter pole. Cute bridge overlooking a stream. Opportunity for geese friends 🪿🦋

Pond with fish, ducks, turtles. Clean and challenging playground as well as a nice space for toddlers. And beautiful works of art.

Memorial Day visit, small and lovely. They had a playground, bocce ball, pond, ducks & turtles, benches. Wish there was at least one picnic table, and more parking. For locals, it’s ideal. For visitors, there was one gravel drive where one or two cars could park. More parking available on the street. A lovely little bridge where we sat and had our picnic.

Large playground with safe surfaces to stimulate active children with adjacent field for ball games, picnic tables and restrooms

So ducked off and out the way my 9 & 4 year olds love it

Nice relaxing space and park. My children loved it for the ducks that followed us around the pond.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a true gem and a fantastic escape right in the heart of Midtown. This 30-acre urban oasis beautifully blends stunning horticulture with world-class art, offering a dynamic experience for everyone. ​Highlights You Can't Miss ​The Earth Goddess: The centerpiece, a massive, living topiary sculpture, is an absolute showstopper. ​Kendeda Canopy Walk: Stroll 40 feet above the Storza Woods on this unique treetop suspension bridge for incredible views. ​Fuqua Orchid Center: Marvel at one of the country's most extensive collections of orchids, including rare high-elevation varieties. ​Art and Exhibits: The gardens are peppered with impressive art, including beautiful glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly and fascinating seasonal exhibits. ​A Garden for All Seasons ​The Garden is wonderful year-round, with diverse exhibition areas like the Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, and the tropical Fuqua Conservatory. It also hosts popular seasonal events, such as the colorful "Atlanta Blooms" in the spring and the enchanting "Garden Lights, Holiday Nights" in the winter. ​Whether you're a serious plant enthusiast, looking for a tranquil date spot, or seeking a fun family outing—especially with the award-winning Children's Garden—the Atlanta Botanical Garden is a well-maintained, lush, and inspiring destination that's definitely worth a visit.

🌸 Atlanta Botanical Garden: A Whimsical Wonderland in Bloom This was truly something I enjoyed! The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a lush, enchanting escape nestled in the heart of the city. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with a refreshing cocktail and a sense of magic in the air. The “Alice in Wonderland” theme added a playful, storybook charm—giant mushrooms, whimsical sculptures, and floral displays that felt straight out of a dream. Even with the heat, the beauty of the gardens and the creativity in every corner made it worth wandering. It’s more than a park—it’s a living gallery of nature and imagination. A perfect spot to slow down, sip something sweet, and let your senses bloom.

This was our first time visiting Atlanta, and the botanical garden was on our bucket list. My wife and I really enjoyed walking through all the different themed areas, the whole place was super clean and well taken care of. They gave us a map at the entrance that made it easy to find our way around, which helped a lot since the park is pretty big. The highlight for us was the indoor garden area. It was full of unique plants, facts, and displays—definitely our favorite part and something we’ll remember. We saw plants we’ve never seen before and learned a lot too. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d for sure come back again in the future. Note: save $4 by buying ticket online but processing is $2.50 per ticket. You have to pay additional for parking on site. Date: October 2025 Fee: $33+ tax online per person Parking: $13 (4hrs) Time: 3-4 hours Clean: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crowd: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Interactive/Education: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved my visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden! It’s a large and beautiful place to walk around and explore. Depending on the season you visit, you’ll get a different experience. I went during Halloween, and everything was perfectly themed for fall — such a lovely atmosphere! One of my favorite parts was the Fuqua Orchid Center, absolutely stunning! Still, every area of the garden is worth admiring — the flowers, trees, and plants from so many different species make it a magical place. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some frogs in one of the sections! It’s a wonderful and family-friendly spot to enjoy nature and relax. I truly recommend it! 🌸🌳🍁 Also I’m visiting from Florida.

🌺 ATL Botanical Garden – A Jedi Master's Retreat Among Flora and Fantasy 🌿 Tranquility found, in the heart of Atlanta it is. Wandered into the ATL Botanical Garden I did, and emerged hours later fully immersed in a world where the Force flows not from kyber crystals—but from orchids, fountains, and sculpted artistry beyond imagination. The vibrant displays of orchids will ignite your senses like twin suns at dawn, while artful topiaries and glowing glass installations will make even the most seasoned Jedi pause and admire. Nature and creativity here dance in harmony like a well-executed lightsaber form. 🌸 Whether you're here to meditate among the greenery, chase younglings through the whimsical Children’s Garden, or stroll along the canopy walk with the wisdom of Yoda whispering in your ear, there’s something for all beings of the galaxy. ⚠️ Important quest you must complete: Do not miss the Alice in Wonderland displays—an enchanting floral takeover that runs only until September 14th. From blooming chess pieces to larger-than-life topiary characters, it’s a wonderland even the White Rabbit wouldn’t dare to rush through. 🌳 The entire space is a botanical adventure—interactive, beautifully maintained, and bursting with seasonal magic. A must-visit for photographers, families, couples, or travelers simply seeking peace. 💬 Final Verdict: A garden, this is not. A living Force temple, it is. Go, you must—and let your senses bloom.

This is a truly great garden, and I've visited quite a few! The unparalleled effort dedicated to their conservatory is immediately apparent and makes it a standout attraction. I particularly enjoyed the tranquility of the space, enhanced by the many calming walking paths. Beyond the beauty, the educational aspects are well-done and engaging. It's well worth a stop if you find yourself in the area.

I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't a bunch of already dead or dying plants. I'll chalk that up to the fact the season is changing but for a place that deals with flowers it shouldn't have that. Just my opinion. It had the Alice in Wonderland theme in some parts and they looked amazing. The singing flowers were the cutest. The scenes were nice but it was kinda boring. It's a great place for pictures tho. Lots of walking and if you get there early park on the top deck. It leads straight to the garden.

Beautiful trail in the heart of Atlanta. We didn't walk the entire thing, but the parts we saw were definitely nice. Plenty of things to look at and shops to stop by. There are scooters and bikes you can rent or you can bring your own. I feel like the path can be widened a bit but people seem to do a good job of not hitting each other when navigating through the crowds.

A great place to walk and people watch. Lots of seating and restaurants to choose from. Nice scenic views from points along the way. Parking was confusing with there being lots of paid parking attached to restaurants (or so we thought). Lots of photo ops but there are certain places were you can only use your phone for pictures, no professional cameras even if you’re not a professional.

Such a cool trail. I love the walkability and all the stores that are right on the trail. Lots of restaurants, too. We really enjoyed it. So many cool things to see.

Amazing place to walk eat and take in the atlanta culture and ambience

Wonderful trail running through so much of midtown (I believe). Green spaces, shops, restaurants, tons of people watching. I found a Kroger and parked there while we walled part of the trail! Highly recommend to those visiting so you can see more of the city close up!

Loved walking the Beltline and It led me to some cool places.

Great trail for walking or biking. Art along the way was fun to see. Gets busy in the evenings.

Nice trail with wooden pathways, as well as off road trails that lead westward towards the creek on the perimeter of the preserve. Many head cuts to keep the water flowing & the trickle audible. Plenty of tables/benches along the way to rest upon. On the northern perimeter, there's a mini waterfall. This is a well shaded area, provided by the luscious foliage. Most of the trails have large stepping stones or tree roots protruding outward as you move upwards in elevation (this is a good thing). I eventually paralleled the creek & traversed a mile into the woods when I saw to juvenile bucks (1-2 years old).

Pretty place and the little fall isn't very far of a walk. There are bridges and paths but no signs or map. No trashcans or bathrooms. We were able to go all the way around and climb up to the top. Just watch your step.

I had no idea this city park was tucked back here! What an urban oasis! Easy to park with shade, currently some construction on the road before entrance but that’s minor. Super shady getaway compared to the Beltline, there’s tables great for a picnic. Minus the ants, it’s not too buggy! If it’s rained, be prepared for mud. HUGE TIP! Take your phone, there’s decent cell and gps service which you might want to help orient yourself with the creek and parking lot. A lovely, but easy place to get lost as there’s no trail map or clear markers for direction. If you want to see the waterfall, turn left at the little replica church. If you want to explore, a good route starts by the picnic tables and you can eventually weave yourself all the way around to end at the waterfall. Happy hiking!

Love this cute little nature preserve! Has a few different trails that interchange and a creek with huge rocks throughout.

Beautiful park full of trails, off trails and things to deeper investigate. It's a beginner/intermediate trek depending on which ways you go. The first part of each trail is fairly simple and a short 15 minute hike in any direction. I braved the trails with my jogger stroller and was able to navigate just fine other than the occasional rock, stump or branch that jostled us up. (Hiking with a baby takes practice, coordination and strength, do not hike with anything that you are not able to lift yourself. There were several stairs, inclines and dips that led to my lifting the whole stroller.)

This trail was not hard. There were a couple of climbs, but wrong it was easy. Small little waterfall where you can climb on the rocks and just breathe.💜

Nice hiking area. No real signage so we just strolled around. We did see 3 deer while on our hike.

Great park!! Wonderful walks with many changes in elevation. The views of the water filled quarry are nice. The park was generally clean as were the bathrooms.

This is a very great park for events or a quick lunch. With plenty of concrete walking trails and at least one playground. It's well worth a visit if you live nearby or have an event going on. Pretty great for a walking date as well. But as someone who likes nature it isn't .y favorite park. Though I do love some of the quarry views. I do believe this park is awaiting further development. Only time will tell just how awesome this park will be!

This park is a true gem in the community. With its well-maintained paths, diverse recreational areas including a playground, 2 pavilions, and an overlook by the lake, it offers something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a place to relax, exercise, or spend quality time with family and friends, this park has it all. The blend of natural beauty and thoughtful amenities makes every visit enjoyable. The organization of the park is impressive also, from clear maps, even down to these little path markers that you could use to tell people where you are in the park!

It is a nice park. Unfortunately, trash is not being cleaned up well when we were there. We also encountered 1 homeless person was sleeping on the picnic table near restroom area. We left and went to a different picnic area, then we encountered another homeless person roaming the area not soon after.

Great park and playground! New, wide, paved walking paths. I'd recommend this spot for little kids learning to ride a bike or scooter because there's so much open flat space. You can't walk around the reservoir but there are nice views through the fence.

A relatively new and still being developed park on westside of Atlanta not far from Midtown. It is relatively large park with at least 2 parking areas and few wide paved pedestrian trails in addition to bikers lane. There is a large eater reservoir where Bellwood Quarry was. The trails are clean and beautiful. The area is little hilly but there is no steep climbs. There is a children play ground and public toilets. Parking is free with no entrance fee as of yet.

Very nice park with many walking and bike riding trails. There is not a lot of shade at this point. But there are lots of trees planted near the trails that will provide shade in the future. Lots of really clean bathrooms. Lots of free parking. There are emergency call stations throughout the park. There are very nice playgrounds with pavilions and restroom nearby. The trails are marked with colored poles that correspond to the trails marked on the maps posted throughout the park. There are many up and down hills on the paths that were a little hard on my knees.

This is such a beautiful, huge park. This park is the perfect setting for festival season, which is what brought me here for the very first time yesterday. The officials behind the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival did such a great job organizing the event -- all the way down to the free shuttle service which picked attendees up from various pick-up points. Boyz II Men and NSYNC were the highlights of my first-time experience here.

Nice, quiet solemn walking trails. A great variety of playing fields, courts, and activities to partake in for kids and adults alike. There is plenty of green space to roam or sit and relax. Great outdoor park in the neighborhood.

Blackburn Park is quirky charming! Think intimate cherry blossom oasis vs DC/Japan scale. Perfect for: * Strolling around * Tennis dates * Picnics under blooming trees * Instagram snaps by the entrance blossoms! Festival tip: rideshare only – parking is super limited! Honestly, festival was just 'meh' for me – pretty, not thrilling.

Blackburn Park is in Brookhaven, GA, a suburb of Metro Atlanta. This is a great place for both people and dog walking! The walk around the park is roughly 1.4 miles. There is plenty of parking. In addition to large fields for playing and relaxing, the park also contains multiple playgrounds, soccer fields, softball fields, tennis courts and a large pavilion. There are usually a number of people here, but they are largely clustered around the various game fields. This leaves plenty of room on the park trails!

I used to frequent this park when my daughter was younger because she was in the Girls on the Run program. So it's been several yrs since I've been. I must say they have done an amazing job of adding on to this park! They have more playgrounds (updated the old as well). They've added restrooms as well as more paved walking paths. There's a lot of tree coverage as well, so that's helpful in this heat!! They seem to have added more tennis courts and soccer fields. There's a great number of hills! I really enjoyed walking this park today! I really this is a 4.5. I only take a .5 off because I always wish there were more signs and/or marked paths so you know which way to go on the trail.

Love this park! Wonderful walking trails, convenient location, and great events throughout the year such as The Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival. (Pics below)

There aren't enough positive words that I can say about this place. It's great for kids, for dogs (no they do not have a dog park), a stroll, etc. In a city where we (unfortunately) have to be careful where we walk in the dark, this isn't one of them. They have tennis courts, the best football (soccer) fields in town outside of the Atlanta United training center. They have Food Truck Fridays (check before you go), concerts, 5k runs, everything. It's a fraction of the size of Piedmont, but it's 1000x nicer and walking distance to some great Cuban and Mexican food around the corner.

If you’re coming for the calisthenics workout, it’s gone they removed it. Why I don’t know

some magic in the air... benches and tables in a natural gazebo-like area... just smth special

The nicest thing about this park is the shade. The playground is little and simple but kept my boy entertained for 15 min. There are no bathrooms around, so beware of this if you're going with children. There are little trails around so if you like to explore land during fast hikes, check it out.

Nice well kept park in the suburbs. Has a little creek and lots of picnic benches

Nice park but needs bathrooms by the pickleball courts

This is a lovely, family park with walking trail that has a bridge crossing a stream. A gated community garden, with a huge playground in several different sections...a play fort, swings, seesaw & large jungle gym and it is equipped for a child with special needs. A covered pavilion with grills and adult style front porch swings. Several dogs were on leashes being walked. Every town should have a park like this. It was clean and there was no graffiti in the area. Very well maintained. A wonderful place to take the whole family or go for a walk during lunch. Also, had an area in the walking trail to stop a do certain workouts.

Good for walking your dog, but that’s about it. The playground was a 2 of 5.

i’ve gone here all my life the church is litterly my family and james oh my gosh i miss him so so much he taught me to believe in god

Like what I see. After the election, I want to move. Looking for a small country house with a front porch and no HOA'S and plenty of running room for my 2 Chihuahuas. It's just me and my babies. I need a good church and a couple of doctors so I can celebrate my 72nd birthday. My doctors keep me healthy as a horse and I'm an frequent walker. I love to bake and make a mean bread and butter pudding. I use Barcardi light run and it takes me 3 days to whip up this taste of Heaven. If God desires to see me in my own bakery, it will be called Juliana's Confectionaries and Sweets. This is my granddaughter's name and I was blessed to choose her beautiful name.

What a great use of resources. All churches should be as open to the community as First Christian Church of Decatur. First Christian allows for non-profits to utilize the churches Sunday School rooms and extra spaces as offices during the week. The majority of churches have these big huge buildings with little to nothing going on but one to two days a week. Hats off to the church, the pastor and steering committee for flinging open the doors to so many organizations that would otherwise have to spend hundreds of dollars a month in rent. WHY AREN'T MORE CHURCHES DOING THIS? What an absolutely wonderful way to support the community the church is located in.

Welcome Home! That is the reaction one receives entering the circle of these community oriented people. When asked, one learns that a majority of the members here come from many different religious practices, (Catholic, Jewish, Methodist, Episcopalian, etc.) And many tell how they were burned out by "religious blaming". So many times people were made to feel that they "could not" be Chistian, if they had had a divorce, loved same sex, drank, or felt Transgender. The feeling is that you work out your salvation with God! There is no place for blame, God is Love.

Amazing church

Loved spending the weekend at Atlantic Station! There’s a great mix of shops, restaurants, and space to just chill. We ate at HOBNOB—so good! Checked out the Museum of Illusions and browsed the vendor market. Ended the night with Italian ice from Frozen Drip. Plenty of parking and the evening vibe was perfect. I’ll definitely be back!

My experience at Panda Fest in Atlantic Station was pretty awesome overall. The variety of Asian food and cultural performances was incredible—everything from live music to dance showcases really brought the event to life. There were also tons of vendors selling unique merchandise that highlighted different aspects of Asian culture, which made walking around even more enjoyable. The biggest downside was definitely the food prices. For example, $20 for just five small pieces of Korean chicken wings and $16.39 for four pieces of fruit covered in melted sugar felt pretty steep. On the positive side, my favorite find was the Tara and Sunset Boba Tea stand—the drinks were delicious, refreshing, and priced fairly at only $7 for a 16oz cup, easily the best value at the event. The festival itself was well organized with plenty of space for the crowd, and it had a lively, family-friendly atmosphere. I’d recommend checking it out if you’re looking to experience Asian culture, try unique foods, and enjoy live entertainment in the heart of Atlanta. If they could work on making the food prices a bit more reasonable, Panda Fest would be close to perfect.

Good place to shop and hangout. Good parking (underground) good restaurants and for kids and adults the imagination museum is nice

Atlantic Station – A Hub Strong with the Force of Fun What a galactic stop this turned out to be! Atlantic Station offers the perfect balance of shopping, dining, and entertainment all within a walkable, safe atmosphere. ✨ Shops & Savings The marketplace is buzzing with energy and bargains. I discovered stellar sales at Dillard’s—prices slashed like a lightsaber through the racks. With other favorites like Old Navy and plenty of specialty shops, it feels like a retail galaxy where every traveler finds treasure. ✨ Dining Adventures Dinner at Hobnob Tavern was a victory feast! The vibe was warm, the food hearty, and the drinks flowed as if poured by a master of the tavern arts. With plenty of other restaurants like Azotea Cantina nearby, the dining scene makes this station a worthy destination on its own. ✨ Atmosphere & Safety Clean, bright, and well-patrolled, the walkways felt safe and welcoming for families, friends, and solo wanderers alike. Even a giant outdoor chess set is ready for those who wish to test their strategic skills—Jedi mind games encouraged. ✨ Parking & Practicality Plenty of underground parking lies beneath this urban outpost. The first two hours are free, with seasonal rates afterward—a fair trade for the convenience. Clearly marked signs make it easy to remember your docking bay. In the end, Atlantic Station is a lively hub where commerce, cuisine, and community all thrive together. Whether you come for shopping, a movie at Regal, or just to soak in the city energy, the experience shines bright—like a beacon in the galaxy. 🌌 Would you like me to also craft a shorter Jedi-flare Google Maps version that keeps it snappy and algorithm-friendly?

A nice place to enjoy a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the heart of Atlanta. We enjoyed lunch and a time for a game of bowling. The parking lot and entire situation underground in order to get here was AWFUL..

I always enjoy this shopping area. Lots of options for both merchandise and restaurants. Was here for the 10 mile race this time.

I love this area. It's a city within the city. Ultimate eat, work, play community. They has somewhat of a pop-up shop with lots of vendors until the end of July I think it could be longer. The drink shown is from the taco restaurant with rooftop dining I'm not sure of the name. My sister and I just got a drink it was a mocktail and it was blueberry, sage, and lime. Very delicious and the perfect mix. I also bought a shirt from an up-and-coming clothing designer and his clothing line is called Wise Juveniles, and the last thing I tried was a mini pecan pie from Tamela's tasty pastry. Most of the vendors were pleasant and a bit overpriced & a few were snooty but overall I enjoyed Atlantic Station.

I live in Kennesaw and drove the 20 minutes to experience their weekly Tuesday Food Trucks. It is from 5-9p and is a cute time out here! Various food options. I just wish there was a lemonade or a frozen drink truck. There's also live entertainment. I ate at "My's Vietnamese" and was so glad that I did! I had the $18 grilled chicken all-in-one combo. I was happy with my choice because I was left feeling full and satisfied. I will say that I'm pretty sure I could have paid about $5 less had I dined inside an actual restaurant. But when you're eating at food trucks, prices typically go up. My belly was happy, nonetheless.

Historical park with 10 acres . Lots of happenings from Birthday celebrations to food truck Tuesdays during summer . More lively with new born babies to old age people spending leisure time . Kids enjoy slides , swing , riding scooters , bi cycles etc . Lively Amphitheater on Tuesdays with music . Photo shoots to Yoga classes . Pet friendly park with variety of dogs and activities. Small trails for walking , jogging and can avail bikes for rides . Fully secured with cops all throughout the day . Simple fantastic park for a family to spend leisure time !!! Never seen such an amazing park !!!

This is a nice park that also has venue space. We were there for a wedding. There's an open area in the front for picnics or hanging out, there's a kids play area in the back, and the building is in the middle where you can rent out rooms for private events.

We always have a great time when we come to this park. I love that it suits back a little ways so it's not directly connected to a street. There is a seating area that allows the perfect view of the playground so the kids can freely run around. They also have an air conditioned bathroom at the base of Brawner hall. This restroom faces the playground and is perfectly positioned.

Love this park! The beautiful white building in the center is an amazing place to click photos! Also, in summer they host food truck Tuesdays! The park is bustling every Tuesday for that!

This park is beautiful. It has a large open green area with trees around the sides for shade. There is a playground, outdoor amphitheater, public restrooms, and picnic areas. Also, in the summer they have Food Trucks on Tuesday.

Today I decided to take my workout over to Taylor - Brawner Park in Smyrna get it in!!! I enjoyed the scenery and also the peaceful space. I seen people of all walks of land, kids riding bikes and I noticed many elders walking,which I love that type of atmosphere.I was able to get in a nice workout. Nothing too crazy just some basic calisthenics from push-ups, some squats and some walking. I will be going back to this visit this park located in Smyrna, Ga off of Atlanta Riad. It is definitely a family, friendly environment and very safe space. Touie Da Dj

This playground needs to be updated. There are no swings and not really anything for the bigger kids. They do have a Mexican snack bar $3 for a bottled drink $2 for a can $6 for small nacho.

This park has paved trails which is perfect for strollers and people with disability. There is a creek in the park. The playground could be better.

Great park to go watch a soccer game. The concession stand was open and provided a lot of food and drink choices. Parking was hard to find, but that was due to the numerous back to back soccer games. I didn't use the restrooms so can't comment about them. I did see a lot of people walking the paved trail. I would definitely come back to Dresden Park.

Dresden Park has a beautiful area and monument dedicated to the Dekalb county police officers killed in the line of duty.

Very small path for dog walking. Kids soccer league playing. Great for family picnic.

Very good place to do exersice or bring your kids.!

Simply beautiful. Play areas for kids..and a gazebo if you want to have a little picnic. Soccer field is cool too.

I'm a nanny and I'm always looking for safe and colorful places for my children to have fun and burn some calories, I love this park is secure in a great area and I had a wonderful time with the child that day yes because I get involved and climb and slide like everybody else ha ha! Highly recommend!

This park is amazing. Play area is large with soft padded flooring. The play area is geared towards children of all ages with plenty of climbing activity. It really helps building children's coordination skills. There is also an area for smaller children with swings for a small child on one side and a parent or older child to seeing on the opposite side. I included a picture. There is also an area to read to your child or allow your child to read to you. They have provided a small cabinet where you can take a book and leave a book which is beautiful. There is bathrooms and a water fountain on site. I would highly recommend this park. It is beautiful and clean. It has become one of my favorites to take my grandchildren too. Also, I'd like to add that the play area is large enough for parents to climb on as well if your child becomes stuck or afraid for any reason. The slides are large and enclosed so children will not fall off them.

Really nice park. It is a gated playground with a child safety gate, which I like. I have a 16 month old and I love how the swing sets have toddler swings and swings where mom can swing with the toddler. My daughter got a kick out of that. There is a little play set for toddlers, but it’s not extensive. The play set for kids 4 and up looked really fun though.

Our kids really enjoyed. I’m impressed by the structure - the slides are huge and it has 3 stories for kids to climb. I went down a few slides with the kids myself. It was fun! There is a smaller area for smaller kids to enjoy, with the mommy and me swings! I do wish the two areas (for bigger and smaller kids) were right next to each other. Would make it easier to keep an eye on each child, especially if you have children in different age ranges. If you have children with a little age gap, I would recommend both parents be present. We will be back!

Very nice kids park with secured gates. Can relax when kids play. Clean and well maintained.

Such an interesting yet convenient location!!! I was shocked to say the least of the quality of this park, which I would consider on the smaller size however it gets the little ones tired and happy! They have separated the gates, one to keep the lils in, then the ones surrounding the 2 playgrounds. One side is for babies and toddlers, the other for the big kids. The fact that it's so easy to get to is the biggest asset, it is sandwiched between Atlanta Road and a neighboring street so that explains the scale and layout. Regardless still a great option! Sorry, no dog area if you have furry kids!

Great park structures for older children and littles. Don’t have swings for big kids though and the restroom needs a little work. I would go again.

Nice and well maintained park. Kids love it here. Lots of equipments to play.

Best kids park I've ever seen and my son loves it. Nice and clean. Separate area for smaller kids. And I love it that they have canopies over some of the play sets so the children won't get the blistering hot. They also have plenty of places for the adults to sit down including tables. Bathrooms are accessible nearby. Great place!

Clean, well-maintained equipment & grounds. Handicapped accessible. Play areas, benches, tables are well shaded. Small shelter & restrooms on-site. Nice little off-street parking lot that is attached but not shaded. Across the side street is a high school so be aware of days, times, etc.

Simple and nice park that is very close to the school. There is a baseball field and the spider climbing ropes. There is a decent amount of parking but I imagine a game would fill it up. There are tables and some benches with an an overhang for the sun.

This is a great park with several areas for play. There are bathrooms and covered picnic tables. I find the only downside is that it is not fenced in. It is on a corner of two streets and if you are at the lower area, your visibility is not great. It could be ready for a child to leave the park and go into the parking lot or street.

The grassy terrain is well maintained, the sidewalks are well lit and free of litter. My pup Jackson and I had fun exploring even at night.

Great playground with two separate areas for kids of different ages. There’s a very large playground for older children. It features swings and multiple play structures. About a block away there’s a little playground for smaller children. Lots of shade and seating areas for parents to utilize while their children are having fun.

Love this park playing bball with the boys. Hate when the families come in 20 and take over the court without asking though.

Great family neighbors neighborhood park for walking, sports, outdoor performances, tennis, baseball, pickleball, and child, or childlike, enjoyment. Lots of shade and parking with several restroom facilities. Highly recommendable at any daypart - especially on a sunny day!

First, I gave it 2 stars, not because it's not a lovely park but that the parking is horrendous. I bet they put millions of dollars in it. GET BETTER PARKING!!! I do like i9sports is there because my son loves it.

This park, located in the Keswick neighborhood in the City of Chamblee has something for everyone! This is the city's largest park comprising of 45 acres including plenty of parking, walking trails, picnic tables, restrooms, bike rack, a dog park, a full-size adult softball field, tee-ball field, soccer field, multi-purpose field, two tennis courts, and an outdoor basketball court. The playground facilities are ADA accessible. The walking trail connects the park to the Mid-City District, which takes you behind the softball field, under Peachtree Blvd and Clairmont Rd and comes out on Chamblee Tucker Rd next to the Walmart.

This park is nice park kinda hidden in a neighborhood but in plain sight. The park has several sections so it's not all connect but at one of the park signs you there is a drive way to the fields.

This is such a great Park just outside my neighborhood easy to get in and out of quaint with good walking trails

Visited the soccer fields for a game and the field was in HORRIBLE shape. Pure dirt with no grass. Right in the middle of some beautiful homes - it's a shame this in such bad shape. I did hear it was being redone as a turf field next season and I really hope that's true!

Visited for a pickleball event which was run well. I just question the safety of coming down the unpaved hill from the parking lot. It had just rained, its a little steep & muddy. Should consider putting in steps. There also should be a few benches in the tennis court area. Definitely need more dedicated pickleball courts.

I went to Nickajack Park for the first time. I was out looking for a park that had a basketball court. I've passed by this street several times and never noticed the park. I'm happy I found it! The park has a playground, swings, slides, Baseball/kickball fields, Tennis courts and basketball court. One of the tennis courts is a combination of a tennis court and basketball court. They also have a picnic/pavilion area and restrooms. ( I didn't go into restroom so I'm not sure if they are open during the week or if they are clean) Overall the park was clean and quiet.

I meet up with my ppl here every spring and summer a few times and it's always a good time.🥰 The name of the park was always a bit disturbing 😏 but I do enjoy the time spent here.

Pretty decent playground. Nothing spectacular about. It is a playground at a sports field complex. Has everything needed at a park though to keep kids entertained.

Nice place for base ball, cricet and kids park

Nice park. They have two full size baseball diamonds and a junior size. Swing sets for the kids, a picnic area as well as basketball and tennis courts. Pretty much everything you could ask for in a park.

Softball fields are well kept. The playground is in good condition the only issue we have is with the restrooms. They need some up keep and plumbing work done

I’m considering this a hidden gem! It’s a great playground by the runway. The playground is for 5-12yo but smaller kids can enjoy it too. It’s also on turf. There’s a pavilion with several picnic tables, a restroom, & ample seating around to watch the planes. Not sure if I parked in the right area but there was plenty space available. Cons: It can get a little crowded since it’s small but the kids worked everything out. Only 1 garbage can so can overflow easily

One of the nicest parks visited. Very good entertaining play area with the view of planes landing and taking off. The play equipments are educational. The podium facing runway provides wonderful view of the flights crossing (taking off and landing). Love to visit regularly. Restrooms needs continuous maintenence, but I believe the visitors needs to be mindful of proper usage of the limited availability.

Beautiful thought provoking(educational) play area! It's hard to find free play spots of this magnitude. I absolutely love it. Tough it does have some serious needs even in the near perfect destination that it is. I personally believe they need more restrooms, waste areas and attendants to maintains just those. However even with some of the negatives this play area will draw you in. It is that fantastic. There is a optional plane viewing area off to the side of the playground and picnic area which is also very cool. It's a fun time the children and adults will love.

This playground has been newly refurbished and has a lot of great interactive features for the kids. Being near an active airport is always a plus. The children really enjoyed their time there.

This park is great! It’s not huge so don’t expect much but it’s perfect for watching planes take flight! 4/5 because the slides were not shaded! However, My toddler loved the playground. We spent a few hours here! There is a spacious pavilion that’s nicely shaded! A few of the pilots waved to us while on the swings. There is an observation deck that was a very nice touch. We will definitely go back! Also, NO DOGS allowed

This is a charming little playground next to the Dekalb Peachtree Airport’s runway, where you can watch small planes take off and land throughout the day. The grassy area has scattered benches and open space with only a few trees, making it easy to keep an eye on kids. There’s also a section with picnic tables under a hangar-style shelter, which adds a unique and inviting touch.

Fun, air travel-themed playground. Swings for little and bigger kids. Watching the small planes and helicopters take off or land is great entertainment, just a little loud 🙂 Restrooms are hopefully in the process of being renovated.

City of Atlanta had all these parks yet games are played in area that had limited parking, shelter, Ave has no snowboard. Not enough seating and you would think with the girls they would add away and home bleachers

Occasionally some Australian football is also practiced out here, if you have some curiosity keep your eyes open and don't be scared to join in! Otherwise it's a couple soccer fields with grass that is NOT uniform in color or quality!

Boulevard Crossing Park consists of two soccer fields. Both fields have a picnic pavilion area with trash cans scattered around. Both areas are also fenced in. The signs say dogs should be on a leash but no one ever listens. The signs also say not to play any sports on the fields when it is wet, but again, no one listens. The bottom field doesn’t do well with rain so it floods easily. Soccer also creates a lot of dirt patches and holes in both fields, especially when they play on the field when it’s wet. There are no bathrooms, and it’s street parking. There was a big tree that came down due to a storm and it took them two weeks to remove it. I’ve also noticed a few people who are homeless stationed under the pavilion areas for multiple days at a time. Overall, it’s a nice place to play a local league at or to bring your kids and dogs, but they could do better when it comes to maintenance of the fields.

The facilities are solid for youth games. I happened to be there for a football game & heard some less than desirable music. It happens... But the fields are solid. Makes for good game locations🤟🏾

Lower fields were in bad shape. Huge mud puddle/ pond in one endzone. and the mud pit reeked. Very unpleasant to play on these fields. Uppers not much better.

I liked that they had trash cans and picnic tables. The field isn't completely flat but definitely good enough for most ground sports. They should get recycle bins

A nice place to go to for football games but need stores in bathroom around for ladies in guy's in food stand for the children's

New pools. Great kiddy pool with 1 ft deep water with play structures, and splash pad. Adult pool is 5 feet deep for the most part. So, great place to play with water, but not a good place for kids to learn to swim. The park has play structures and other things, but we came for the pools.

Lovely, clean spray ground and pool area. Nice to relax and let the kids have fun. There are plenty of tables with umbrellas for sitting.

My 5 years old along with his buddies learning to play tennis..great place for Young's kids!

Amazing new water Park for kids with full size pool and athletic field, parking was great, everything was very clean and new

Kinda dark at night, but other than that, it's a much nicer park than it used to be.

Nice park with tons of activities for children. Looks like a mini water park. Parking can be tight if the park is open. Indoor basketball courts could use some dusting. One hoop is missing a net. The ability to adjust the height of the hoop is great for young kids learning.

Use the soccer field for training my clients...very well maintained

A nice small neighborhood park. Needs a mulching and graffiti removal, but has a good tot lot.

Is small park. But so relaxing, the kids enjoy a lot.

Lots of unique playground equipment--a springy teeter-totter, a giant spinning wheel-type thing, a little wooden market stall-- alongside classics like slides, monkey bars, and swings. We were there on a weekday afternoon (3-4ish) and it wasn't busy at all. The parks was fairly clean. Not really any graffiti or trash.

Nice quiet location. My kids love this park. Not alot a things to play on but it makes the kids happy

Q nice place to take the kids. Plenty for them to play with. Great that is cross the street from publix

It's an area for the kids to play soccer now and my grandkids enjoy being there. 🥰🥰🥰🙌🏽

This park is huge! Totally got lost during Pride. There seems to be endless amounts of park to enjoy.
