Everyone enjoyed our time. Bathrooms are available here near the parking lot. Well worth a stop. Enjoy the outdoors!

The larger park has higher play equipment, climbing walls, slides, big kid swings, etc along with things for small children. There are more kids at this part of the park so we do walk over for a few minutes to people watch but since I dont have a walker we really dont spend much time here yet.

I love visiting it with my husband just before sunset. We saw so many kids playing in the spider web climbing thing and the play area.

There are 2-3 trails around the park but a bit rugged, so I recommend going when there's plenty of daylight. Parking spots are plenty and the park is pet-friendly. Fun fact: Atlanta Astronomy Club conduct star gazing events at this park. Check their website for more information!

Just a picture perfect place to relax and take in the sites.

The trails wind alongside beautiful rushing rapids, through shaded forests, and lead to the fascinating ruins of the historic New Manchester Mill, which dates back to the Civil War era. citeturn0search0turn0search2 The Red Trail is especially popular and provides stunning creek views with a relatively easy-to-moderate hike, while longer trails offer more of a challenge for experienced hikers. The sound of the water, rocky landscapes, and peaceful surroundings make it easy to forget you're only minutes from Atlanta. excellent destination for a day of hiking, picnicking, and making memories with friends.

Initially we parked in the wrong lot but that worked in our favor (where the bait and tackle shop is). There were lots of families out having picnics and fishing. We did a 1-mile loop in the area and were able to see the yurts. NOTED . Beautiful sites to take in before we ventured to the main lots with the visitor's center. Not only are the trails well marked, but there is ample parking across multiple lots. The attendant at the gate entrance was so kind, welcoming and JOYful! We ventured out on the red trail and it was gorgeous. To my surprise, the trail was full today. It seems that Sweetwater is a populated date spot!!! We saw folks of all ages out with picnic baskets, journals, coloring books, bathing suits ... it was AMAZING! We hiked to the end of the red trail and back, venturing off trail to be clear to the River only once. By far, this was one of my favorite hikes and definitely a place I'll revisit to explore some of the other trails.

It was a beautiful day to be out in nature.

I made the suggestion to walk the trail instead of just walking around the neighborhood. Best decision ever! We started the trail at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area at Paces Mills. The trail length is 3.8 miles and offers a great work out. The terrain varies from flat to slightly inclined. In addition to getting that heart rate up you get to experience what feels like the perfect place to unwind and unplug. It's the sounds and sights for me! The waves created in the Chattahoochee river, the sounds of birds chirping, the sight of plush tees, and bridges. It truly is a natural escape from a busy suburban lifestyle. A few things to note: 1. You can access this trail from two different parking areas. The lot on Interstate North Parkway is free of charge. However, it is a small lot. The larger Lot at Paces Mill is $5.00 per day. You can make the payment via an app. 2. this is a multi- use trail. As such, you can find people doing a leisure walk, jogging, biking, skating etc. motorized items are not permitted on the trail. 3. if you don't own a bike, there are rentals available. The company that is located at this trail is called Movatics. You can find them in your App Store to get started with your rental. The advertisement notes that it is free for your first hour and $3.00 per hour after that. 4. The park is open from dusk to dawn just like most trails and parks. I highly recommend stopping by this trail, it will not disappoint!

You can access the lot from either direction on Hwy 41. You first need to pay the $5 parking fee to recreation.gov. The instructions are fairly easy to follow; the whole transaction is done via smartphone. It probably took 5 minutes or less. The paved trail heads east along the river and crosses under I-75 before turning north. The trail is well shaded for much of the way, though it gets sunny as it ascends a significant hill just before the 1-mile mark. That was about as far as we went on our initial visit, though the trail kept going for, I think, at least another mile. There are nice views of the creek as well as (early) of the river. When we went, there were a fair number of others walking or running, so it never seemed too isolated.

Over time, though, the start times have drifted -- sometimes beginning 10-15 minutes late and wrapping up early before the next session. It's frustrating not knowing when the actual instruction time begins or ends. Another issue is the inconsistency with the coaching. The coaches seem to rotate frequently, and there doesn't appear to be a clear, consistent curriculum from week to week. Some coaches focus more on warm-ups and running than on skill development, while others (like Odell and Ronaldo) do an excellent job teaching technique and engaging the kids. Unfortunately, we haven't seen them in a while, and switching days hasn't helped us find them again. We've also noticed that while the club doesn't require cleats or shin guards, several kids wear them, which gives them an advantage during drills and scrimmages. It would be helpful if TOCA clarified equipment expectations so all players can participate on an even playing field. Overall, TOCA Marietta has potential -- especially when led by strong coaches -- but the inconsistency in scheduling, coaching style, and structure has made our experience uneven. With more stability and clearer communication, this could be a great program.

They require you to sign a waiver relating to rules of engagement, injury liabilities, etc. You and your kiddo(s) have to wear grip socks when in the play area. The price was great for one day as well as the food prices. The food is kid food so pizza, fries. Pretzel bites, corn dog bites, stuff like that. The pizza was tasty, you know like better than frozen pizza and almost like school lunch pizza. Tasty. They'll have slices and whole pies to order. They have a bubble area for when it's bubble time which is adorable considering my little loves bubbles. Most children like bubbles. They'll announce a birthday if the kid is having a party there or not, they'll do a shout-out which is cute. The staff was attentive, polite, and helpful. I saw some of the senior staff knew some of the kids' names since they were frequent visitors. The play area is a good layout. Some moms were watching in the play area while some sat in the cafe sitting area to watch their kids. I even seen a few moms working on their laptops which was cool considering those moms had bigger kids like 8+ that didn't need as much supervision as the toddlers. The layout has something for everyone of all walking ages. They have big and little slides, a trampoline area, a nice jungle gym, again, something for all the kids.
