Official listing

Based on visitor reports
Use Ashford Dunwoody parking lot
Parking near the pavilion is tight, but the larger lot by the playground and restrooms is plentiful though.
Playground drains quickly after rain
Rope and wood chip construction means children can play immediately after rain without puddles collecting on equipment.
Plan extra time to find fields
The baseball and softball fields are difficult to locate and parking for them is poorly marked and hard to find.
Little shade reported
Bring sun cover on bright days.
Mentioned by 5 visitors
Arrive early on hot days
The main playground has no shade and equipment becomes too hot to touch, causing burns in Georgia heat.
Expect crowds near sunset
The park gets crowded toward evening, but multiple open spots exist on the south side if you visit later.
