    Reviews With Photos - Taylor-Brawner Park

    Doug G.

    Taylor-Brawner Park is located right on Atlanta Road in the heart of Smyrna and while it is not a massive park, it is about 10 acres of wide open space and is a great spot for a variety of activities for the family and puppers! The main staple of the park is the paved walking pathways that outline the park and also weave around the various buildings and fields throughout. In addition to the walkways there is a small amphitheater, playground, fountain and several covered pavilions. If being outside isn't your thing, you can rent space in one of the two historic buildings onsite, the Taylor-Brawner House and Brawner Hall. In addition to renting these spaces, you can also rent the outdoor pavilions or concert space as well! There are onsite bathrooms at the base of Brawner Hall, which is nice...no porter potties here! And I would be remiss if I didn't mention my favorite part of Taylor-Brawner park...Food Truck Tuesdays!!! They have a variety of trucks that come through and hang out during the summer months every Tuesday evening and it is always a great and delicious time! My only gripe with the park is the parking, or lack there-of. They run out of parking really quick, especially on those eventful Food Truck Tuesdays! They usually roll it over to the church next door, but even then it gets tight sometimes! Overall, it is a solid local city park! I will continue to come by for afternoon/evening walks, and for sure will be by on Tuesdays!

    My favorite park in Smyrna!! The grounds are always clean. The community is really good at cleaning up behind their pets. The park offers a playground area for kids. The play area has seating and tables for adults to watch the kiddos play. Restroom are available. The trails are good for walking, running, cycling and skating . The park allows you to rent space indoors or outdoors. The area is very picturesque . The park is situated around this big beautiful white house with the plantation porch which is perfect for photo shoots or just sitting in the rocking chair. Starting in the Spring and through the Summer, Smyrna hosts an event called Food Trucks Tuesdays. It's always fun and relaxing. I believe Smyrna is a great community and my family and I really enjoy coming here

    The park is a great space. Food Truck Tuesdays is held during the summer. There is not enough parking, the parking gets full very fast when there are events held at the park or Brawner Hall. The grass is kept manicured and they have bikes you can rent to ride. The park is bigger than it looks from the street.

    Pro: If you're looking for a scenic hike near Atlanta, I highly recommend Sweetwater Creek State…read morePark. The park offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and adventure. 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. Con: Parking fees are $10 (gone are the $5 day) Also, the way you pay is...via link and it can be tricky & time consuming. You can go park anywhere in the park once you pay...you don't have to pay 2nd time.

    Today's hike at Sweetwater exceeded my expectations in every way! The weather was giving spring…read morevibes and the people were out for it ! 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.

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!

    The trailhead is located on Hwy 41 just north of the river. Parking appears plentiful, but I don't…read moreknow if it completely fills up on the weekend (as we visited on a Friday late-morning). 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.
