NieceyJuly 24, 2013Wow! What a great park. By far the best park I have ever been to in my life! So many things to do here and there is something here for everyone. Basketball, tennis,jogging, beautiful scenery.. Etc.
Great place for running after a long day or to relax with friends on the weekend. Go exploring and check out the wooded walkway through the Six Springs Wetlands near the dog park!

Get Local ATLApril 5, 2012The annual Dogwood Festival is one of our favorite ways to celebrate springtime in Atlanta. It's moved around in recent years, but its true home is at Piedmont Park.- A wonderful place to study, read a novel or people watch. Wine and hors d'oeuvres picnics wouldn't be such a bad idea either.
