Bring your own bathroom plan
The park has no restrooms, so use facilities nearby or plan a shorter visit with young children.
Avoid the blue and red slides
The blue slide has a dangerously steep top with low side walls, and the red slide has similar safety issues.
Excellent for hot Atlanta days
Large mature trees provide substantial shade throughout the playground and parking area, making it comfortable in summer.
Bring supplies for extended visits
The park lacks restrooms and has limited amenities, so pack water, snacks, and anything else your family might need.
