The hip part of North Augusta is built around several parks. The pond here has various soft and…read morehard trails and boardwalks. Ample signage warns of alligators. I did not see any, but I expect there must be some. This particular bit of park is not on the waterfront and is not that aesthetically distinctive, but it is connected with the greenway trail that goes to several useful places, as well as being next to a sporting venue. Plenty of people were roaming through.

So gorgeous! There was a lot of wildlife and the trails are well maintained! I went recently at the…read morewarmest part of the day and saw lots of reptiles sun bathing (turtles and alligators)

This park includes fairly limited facilities, a small lake that has nice reflections but not a…read morewhole lot to do, and a paved trail with boardwalks that runs a little less than a mile along the creek. It's pleasant enough, but the modest distance is irritating, particularly in light of the longer greenway trail just north of here on the same creek. It would be much better if the park linked up with the larger trail system, but for some reason it does not, meaning the park is limited in scope.

I love this park! Tucked away in the park is a quarry that has been filled to create a lake…read more Bring your OFF or other insect repellent because the mosquitoes and ticks here love freshly cooked humans. The wildlife is abundant here also - I've seen deer, turtles, and various birds here. I haven't seen a nope rope yet, but I'm sure I just jinxed myself because I hate snakes and saying stuff like that seems to speak it into existence. Since it is a small park, it can be a little busy when the weather is really nice. The trail around the park is perfect to use for 5k training. Drop on in when you need a brief commune with nature!

The clearing is the best kept secret picnic location in the CSRA. It requires a walk or bike along…read morethe beautiful Augusta Canal Trail (the towpath trail, specifically), which opens up to this gorgeous clearing in the middle of the woods. A gently sloping lawn flattens out by the river where you can have a picnic, wading in the river, or just enjoy the beautiful scene around you. The views of the river are unbeatable since the clearing forms a small promontory. While it is currently overgrown, the river nature trail head starts at the north side of the clearing. Although it is relatively remote, they still have bathrooms here which are sort of glorified outhouses.

There's a trail around the lake but not sure how far it goes around! There's a bridge over the dam and it's pretty interesting. If you look closely, you might see some turtles and gators!

I decided to check this community park out this morning while I was in Augusta, GA to get in some…read moreexercise. This was a very clean and well maintained park. It has plenty of parking and they can accommodate small and large vehicles. They have a large fenced in dog park and a gazebo for the pet owners to get out of the sun. Around the park is 3 paths for those that wish to walk ir run. There was also a male and female bathroom as well. Oyeah, and did I forget to mention that they have a playground for the kids!!! This was an excellent find and I'm sure that we will return the next time in town!!!

While she did ceramics we would go over to the gym and play our little hearts out. When we were hungry she would send us to Red Lobster just up the street to dine. I remember this like it was yesterday and that was over 20 years ago. I come to May Park from time to time now. This is the place where I vote and it is also where the May Fest is held every year. I have no problems with this location at all. It's always clean and one year my family held a family reunion outside at the picnic area. This park is always bustling with people. Whether they are practicing in the football field, playing basketball in the gym, or any other numerous activities that are held here, everything runs smoothly and safely. This is a great place to be!!!

Great dirt track to get your runs or PT in. Running around entire field will put you at 1.75 miles…read more Lots of runners during early morning PT hours, but if you're okay running or walking in the heat, it's practically empty during the day and evening hours. Parking is very limited, especially during PT formation hours with Soldiers forming up on Barton field to take accountability or conduct PRT; would avoid till after 7:30-8am. Highly recommend taking a run/ walk at night if looking for a track.

On a really hot day there is no shade and the stones get hot on those poor puppy feet and my pups tend to get overheated. We started using this location when the sun is setting and it's not so hot. It could use an awning or some shade cover but overall this is a good location to let your run dog for exercise.

Coming to Fort Gordon and finding they have a nice decent size dog park was a bonus. For those of…read moreyou with kids, the dog park is located right next to the children's playground. So your kiddos can go play while you let the dogs play. The dog park has two fenced in sides. The first side is for the 35lb and under dogs, the other side is for the 36lb and over dogs. Each side has water stations, about 8 poop bag stations, benches some with umbrellas, fire hydrants that spray water, and activities to keep your dog entertained. The only thing that I don't like about the dog park is the lack of shade for dogs. They have two bench areas on each side that have umbrella covering but it's more for the owners of the pets than anything. Seeing as it gets extremely hot here during the summer months some shade for the pups would be nice. I was warned that when it's extremely hot, the rocks makes your dog's paw pads burst. :(
