Pro Tips

  1. 1.Arrive early on summer weekends (before 10am) to snag a pavilion spot and beat the splash pad crowds
  2. 2.Bring water shoes for the splash pad and a change of clothes,kids inevitably get soaked even if you didn't plan for water play
  3. 3.The inclusive playground features wheelchair-accessible equipment and sensory-friendly elements, making it perfect for children with different abilities
  4. 4.Pack sports equipment like soccer balls or frisbees to take advantage of the wide open fields when they're not occupied by organized games
  5. 5.The dog park is separate from play areas, so you can safely bring furry family members without worrying about them interfering with kids' activities

Best Time to Visit

Spring and fall mornings (9-11am) or late afternoons on weekdays offer the most pleasant weather and smallest crowds. Summer mornings are ideal for splash pad fun before the Georgia heat peaks. Avoid Saturday mid-mornings when youth sports leagues often occupy the fields.

What to Know

The park is free to access with ample parking available. There are restrooms and covered pavilions, but no food concessions on-site, so pack snacks and drinks. The splash pad typically operates Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Seasonal Notes

The splash pad operates seasonally from late May through early September, weather permitting. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures for extended outdoor play. Summer can be very hot, so plan water activities for mornings. The park remains open year-round, though playground equipment may be cold in winter months.
