3 Best Public Parks in Athens, GA

Nice, large park. If you have a dog, this is the place to take them! Our kids enjoyed the playground and riding their bikes on the paved path. The lake was pretty and there is a Sandy beach for swimming in the summer.

Love Sandy Creek. It can easily compete with state parks. Lots to do and see. The trail is much longer than you would expect. Dog park is great. Amazing facilities. Friendly staff. Would strongly recommend. Dog-friendliness: This is one of the best places for dog families. There are a ton of places to take your dog. However, the dog parents here pay more attention and have better behaved dogs.

Sandy Creek Park is great! I go several times a week with my dog, and occasionally fish on Lake Chapman. The dog parks are beautiful. We frequently go to the public park, which is shaded and very natural. The water pumps are very convenient and clean. We also love the private park option, for busy days or dogs that prefer to hang out on their own, it's a godsend. The staff are friendly.

Great park in Athens! Nine tennis courts, plus one covered I believe, and all of them are lit, which is really nice. Haven’t played the covered court, so not sure about that one. Basketball courts, softball field, football and a community pool. There is a lot of open green space and a playground for kids. The farmer’s market is located here spring through fall on Saturdays. Wonderful place to hang out and enjoy the outdoors! Always something going on.

Lovely park! I used to work at the Athens Farmers Market that pops up here. Now I visit for the Indie South Holiday Markets and take my nephews to the little playground. I do wish they had more swings for adults because my partner took her time on the tire swing, but otherwise 5 stars.

Park provides playground, playing fields, indoor, picnic areas, outdoor track & field and good parking. Celebrated our grand daughter's birthday. Park is kept very clean as well.

Nice little local community park with play area for the children as well as two separate run areas for your dogs. All the times I've been there everyone has their dogs in control and having fun with the other dogs at the park. Good place to visit if you're in the Athens area

Great dog park with plenty of room to let your dogs run and burn up energy. There is also a separate fenced in area for more aggressive dogs, so they can get exercise too.

Park is incredible! There are lots of different playground equipment, with big slides and lots of other things. The park is a great place to spend time and enjoy the outdoors. The playground is very expansive, and good for kids, as well. Would highly recommend.
