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!

So much room for activities! Seriously tho, if the park seems crowded there's always a nook or cranny longing to be filled. Best place for frisbee throwing and people watching.

I left the suburbs to live within walking distance of Piedmont Park (and midtown MARTA). Smart move! Now I donate $ to Piedmont Park to keep up my "yard."

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.
