Very. Pretty. Plenty of trials to explore - follow the creek all the way down Houston Mill and Hahn woods. In fact if you're driving Hahn woods is a good place to park as parking is not great anywhere around Lullwater. There is a deck that you can pay to park in at the Emory Clifton campus - that is the closest parking I believe.

I even saw a baseball field. I would just stay vigilant because there's a lot of bike riders who go fast on the walkways, so I wouldn't suggest wearing noise cancelling earphones. For parking, you can find some free street parking around.

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 was a birthday party going on and the park was filled with folks of all ages. Trails: A little walk on the left leads you to the dam(falls) and it's a very quiet and serene path to walk or jog. 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!

Seeing OutKast come home to Centennial Olympic Park for #ATLast was genuinely one of the best…read morenights of my life. I had seen Big Boi solo before, but seeing him and André 3000 together in Atlanta, surrounded by the city and culture that produced them, was something else entirely. OutKast is sacred to me, and that weekend felt like an Atlanta hip-hop family reunion, with Future, Killer Mike, Sleepy Brown, 2 Chainz, and others turning the park into an extraordinary hometown celebration. The Friday night I attended felt like a Dungeon Family hit parade, and I'm very glad I was there for it. The whole weekend only deepened my affection for Atlanta. After Friday's show, we went to El Bar, where the late DJ Speakerfoxxx was absolutely killing it, and on Saturday we watched part of OutKast from a rooftop before heading to Terminal West to see a then-emerging Jungle, who sounded destined for superstardom from the first tune. Even the Coca-Cola presence beside the park felt perfectly Atlanta: an iconic global company woven right into the landscape of its hometown. What a trip, what a music city, and what a weekend. SALUTE.

Kind of a bummer, I would have loved to have walked the entirety of the park and not see it from the outside at certain intervals. We were told that it was closed off because they were doing repairs after the FIFA World Cup viewing parties. Not sure if this was true, but there was still FIFA props everywhere. What I was able to take in was from the perimeter. Every gate I was able to stop and peek in to figure out what was in each spot. From behind bars I was able to see a lot and figure out what was what. Would have been nice to actually walk through here and be on Olympic grounds kind of. It is beautiful to see, and it is huge. Maybe one day I will be able to take it all in.

We spent…read moresome time trying to find the perfect spot that included water, medium hike, and close enough to the city to avoid adding another two hours to our trip back home to FL. This state park was a great find and only a 30 min drive from mid town. They had different trails for different levels of hiking. Our trail ran alongside the creek and we got to dip our legs in the water while others were swimming and tanning. If we weren't so tired we would have made a whole day of it!

Well, I finally figured out the secret: GET THERE EARLY! I arrived early for the Vegan Festival, and there was plenty of street parking. There's also parking near the zoo if you don't mind walking over to the festivities. Now that I know the layout and what to expect, I'll definitely be more prepared the next time I come. And I have to say, Grant Park is beautiful! I can see myself coming back even when there isn't an event happening. The Vegan Festival itself was a lot of fun. We checked out different vegan vendors, made bracelets, picked up some hair products, and of course, I had to get some food. I grabbed a vegan platter and a delicious lemonade, and my daughter decided to go her own route and got fish and shrimp. She said it was delicious! There were also some non-vegan food options at the festival. I personally didn't have an issue with it, although I know some people definitely did. One vegan vendor even said, "I'll give you $100 if you eat 10 chicken wings." And I'm like... WHAT?! It was a hot day. There weren't a ton of places to sit, so I would recommend bringing your own folding chair or something comfortable to sit on. The pool was open, the splash pad was open, and the courts were being used, so there was plenty going on beyond the festival. Overall, I had a great time. I enjoyed discovering Grant Park, meeting vendors, doing some crafts, eating good food, and just enjoying the day. I'll definitely be back to the park.

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!
