Atmosphere - I can not write this better than their website. Cut and pasted again: "Freedom Park has become Atlanta's most connected park, linking together seven of the city's most historic and desirable neighborhoods--Candler Park, Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, Poncey-Highland, Virginia Highland, Druid Hills, and Lake Claire. Little Five Points, an off-beat and thriving business district is nestled between the park's western and southern legs. Located a few miles east of Downtown Atlanta, Georgia, Freedom Park's 130+ acres boast eight miles of gently curving paths for walking, jogging, and bicycling." Service - Self service Price - Free.

Pine log park located in Conyers, GA leaves little to be desired. It is a small park equipped with…read morerestrooms, one large pavilion, a playground, basketball court and very short walking trail. The trail is only 0.5 miles total out and back. The trail is in need of major maintenance and repairs as it is easy to trip on the many cracks in the pavement and down trees. I also noticed a couple of watch out for snakes warning signs along the path. The playground looked well maintained but I didn't get too close to say for sure. The best part of this park I would say is the basketball court because of its large size. It is a full size court with bleachers and looks well maintained.

If you do go on the weekends, make sure to arrive early as the parking can fill up fast. Venue and Atmosphere The great outdoors await; enjoy the mostly paved path along the creek to a peaceful waterfall. The trail continues slightly uphill and winds through the park with beautiful foliage and more creek views. Aside from the incline, the trail is relatively easy. The waterfall wasn't very full but that of course depends on the rain level, and the past month was a dry one. It was still lovely! Verdict I'll definitely visit again!

Totally cliché, but I'm going to daringly say that Henderson Park has something for everyone. When…read moreI was there, I observed a kids soccer game, picnickers, hikers, dogs being walked by their owners, Girl Scouts having a meeting, fisherpeople, photoshoots, children playing, birthday parties, and people just chilling by the lake. Seriously, that's nearly everyone who wants to be outside! Regarding hiking, the trails are not marked very clearly. The map doesn't show all the turnoffs, and it gets confusing. Maybe it's this way to give you a sense of adventure? At least it's tough to get really lost since you're often within sight of houses or the road. Beautiful woods! As for restrooms, there was a porta potty in the parking lot adjacent to the playground by Lake Erin, and the map indicates that there are other restrooms in Henderson Park too. Speaking of maps, I might recommend a quick peek at one before you go since the park can be accessed from different roads (Henderson and Livsey). Didn't get to explore the other side of the park with the native plant and wildlife walk this trip but next time!

This is a great neighborhood park. If I lived nearby, I'd take a walk here every chance I could. In addition to the trails, there are athletic fields, a kids play area and a great wide deck where people can look out at the lake or eat a nice lunch. There is a lot of parking and the park itself is well-maintained. I was able to find a map of the park trails online, and it was helpful but trail maps aren't perfect. I tried to walk as many of the trails as I could, but I was turned around a lot. We'd also had a lot of rain prior to my visit so a lower trail path by the lake was flooded. There is a small waterfall in the park, and I think I saw it but I'm not sure. There were a lot of rock formations in the creeks/streams, and none were labeled. I went to Henderson Park with a friend who needed to use the bathroom. The main bathrooms are located on the west end of the park by the soccer fields. On the east end of the park, there are port-a-potties. There are no bathrooms near the kids park which was a surprise and why I mention where the bathrooms are located. Overall, I'm glad that I gave Henderson Park a visit. The people who live nearby are lucky to have it.

PCG is full of amenities that you wouldn't expect scattered throughout the trail. There's a soccer field (open green space), slides for kids, hammocks, swinging benches, regular benches, and easy access to the emergency services if necessary. I was there for a morning walk and there really wasn't much foot traffic. It's generally very peaceful and full of pleasant pedestrians, some who live in the apartments along the trail and others who drove into the three main trailheads. The design of the trail was really well-done and thoughtful of all potential pedestrians, pups included. Be mindful that there isn't a public bathroom available as of yet.

PROS: - Spacious parking lot - Multiple poop bag receptacles along the trail - Paved trails - Clean - Multiple trail heads CONS: - Not much traffic - A couple blind spots along the trail Both cons make the trail potentially dangerous for nighttime walks.

Otherwise, this greenway is a great addition to the neighborhood and I'm excited to see this connection to the Beltline!
