Okay now I'm a big skatepark guy, and this place is nice. I used to come here alot when I was…read moreyounger for the splash pad but I stopped going when I got older. But this place is nice. They redid the skatepark sometime I don't know when but it's still amazing. The spot isn't too extreme just a couple half pipes, ramps, rails, and tabletops, but if you're a skater, scooter, Rollerblade anything this is a nice spot would recommend if you're in the area.

Extremely boring trail, nothing more than two, one foot tall overlooks. I went here in March, the…read moretrail is very small and the creek overlooks had zero water. If you have kids it has a large playground, in general I dont recommend.

Recently I visited the Hogtown Creek Headwaters Park again, and it has expanded! The nature station…read morethat has been under construction for a while now is finally open, and is staffed on the weekends! There is a really nice exhibit inside detailing the history of the park and the house it is housed in, as well as some history of the area including the pitch farm that was in the area. In addition to the history exhibit, there are also nature exhibits showing the local fauna and flora. Definitely worth a visit now!

There's also 2 regular swings, 2 baby swings and a tire swing, a sandbox, and a see-saw. There's bench seating, 2 picnic tables and a couple port-a-potties with a sink to wash your hands. Since is its only a few minutes off I-75, we stopped here to give the little guy a fun break on our way back to Atlanta.

There is a community garden, a place to barbecue, a playground for children, and fruit trees that give delicious fruit (when in season)!! It is not a huge park, but take a gathering of friends there, with food to cook, and you could make a very nice day of it!

This is a nice county park and I wish to add it is not just a kids' playground, either. There is…read moreindeed a playground and some pic-nic tables on the south side of the parking area but on the northern side there are extensive trails going through several types of natural habitats. The trails are appropriate for hiking or mountain biking, running too but be careful because there are a lot of roots and some unexpected wet areas and drop offs. Mountain biking you need to beware of branches and very narrow foot trails in some places, but it's fun. This is a county park and not the better-known San Felasco Hammock State Park not far from here. It is confusing that both parks share a very similar name so just check a map and ensure you're at the one you want.

It is also home to three pavilions, two play areas, sports facilities, volleyball and basketball courts, soccer field, a roller hockey rink, a community center, bathrooms and a walking trail.

Having said that the city has, to its credit, dramatically cleaned it up and redesigned the park. It is now pleasant to walk in during the day, have a picnic or bring your coffee and a book, dog friendly and very well maintained. Plenty of parking and bathrooms. No trash, no grafitti and no unsupervised teens during the day. HINT: Go early on a school day and you won't bbe disappointed but better to avoid the park area at night.

We really enjoyed our visit to Forest Park! The fenced dog area was perfect for some off-leash…read moretime, and it was exactly what Valkyrie Spice needed. The park is beautiful, with lots of shade, water fountains, and benches, plus amenities like tennis, basketball, and a soccer field. I chose this park because it's known to be less crowded--great for dogs who are shy or don't always play well with others--and for the most part, it was peaceful. As we were leaving, another dog ran up to Valkyrie after being let off-leash, which was stressful given her fear and leash aggression. Thankfully, I was able to manage the situation quickly. Overall, it was a lovely spring break visit, and I'd definitely return. A great spot for both dogs and their humans!

My favorite thing about this park is that I can run laps on the track (which is shaded in the…read moresummer, woohoo!) while my little guy plays on the playground! It sounds silly, but I don't like to just sit and stare at my kids playing, I prefer to *do* something. Since none of the equipment is very tall, I don't feel the need to hover either, which is nice. There is a basketball court in the middle, a smaller tot area under the trees where all the equipment is only waist high, water fountains, restrooms (that are unfortunately only open sporadically), and a covered pavilion with a few picnic tables. This is an accessible playground with a ramp right up from the parking lot. There is always plenty of parking too. Oh and it's sand, not wood chips, which my kids love so they can bring sand toys. One of my biggest factors in rating playgrounds is whether there are friends to play with and this one is hit or miss unfortunately, but I like this one nevertheless because it has something for all ages packed into a small area and it's not directly on a main/busy road. Note: The park is NOT LIGHTED at night, so don't plan on running laps or playing b-ball at night.
