A hidden gem! This 39-acre park with athletic fields also offers a playground, swimming pool, trials, baseball fields and picnic area. Offers beautiful nature, creeks, old water works, train viewing bridge along the way. Shows how beneficial even a 1 mile of trail can be to connect neighbors, and offer an alternate, pleasant travel corridor. They have a nice picnic area and a beautiful walking path. There a baseball park here and open batting cages. Great place to take the kiddies and families. And you have the excellent South Peachtree Creek Trail for a walk starting there. Right now the restrooms are closed due to Covid situation. It's a dog friendly park. Walk from Willevee Drive across boardwalk and path to Mason Mill Park which is a very peaceful trial. The trail connects to other trails so could be good for a short walk or a longer run if you wanted to keep going. It's an easy enough walk for most to handle. Well shaded by trees and also saw several bike riders, strollers, and wheelchairs. There are well marked signs to inform walkers and runners of distance and elevation, as well as seating along the trail for rest and nature watching. A wonderful place to explore or relax. Parking is usually plentiful during the week. Very well maintained and policed. I would really recommend this place.

I really wish they'd either fix up the playground or rope it off. It looks like it may have been in…read morethe beginning phases of maintenance or renovation when the pandemic hit, then abandoned. I feel like most playgrounds in Dekalb are closed, and then there's this muddy, dilapidated monstrosity. It's seriously always a mud pit. I don't get why there's always so many kids here.. and that's why I can't take my son, he's two, he could walk by and enjoy the rest of the park but always hears the other kids and HAS to run over. Half the swings are missing. The bottom of the slides are almost 2 feet off the ground, even on the little playground, launching unsuspecting kids right into the muddy grime. I love most of Dekalb parks, but this one is an embarrassment.

There's also a dog park and a nice covered Pavilion to just sit answers relax in the shade! I'd highly recommend this park if you're in the area.

This is a new, clean playground for kids right across from the Oak Grove United Methodist Church…read more It's tucked away from the conventional path and you would have to know it exists to visit. Since it is relatively new, all the equipment is in good condition and well functioning. Honestly, there are a lot of things to keep kids occupied from swings to slides. I can keep myself busy if you ask me :) There are some benches to sit around/have a picnic but overall not very big. The park is gated so it's fairly secure and there is plenty of parking. There is an adjoining open area if you want to get your dogs and let them play around (note: this area is not a true dog park as there is no place to throw doggy poop other than going back into Ethridge park and throwing it in there). I believe they have some events there too. Overall a very nice park!

There was a kid playground with so many cool stuffs. There was a map for the trail but the trail itself was surprisingly short!!!! I totally didn't expect it. The park was clean.

This small park is so cute & adorable…read more Parking - Not so great, BUT they do have a small lot & you can park across the street near the homes. My condo is a 7 min run from here, so I have no trouble. I personally love the 7 min jog to get here. Helps me warm up. This park is really really really small. You may get bored running here if you're a runner who loves scenery. I don't really care for it. But this park has a fun playground and a small outdoor gym (?). I've used it a few times. A lot of parents come here with their kids to hang out. So, it is a busy park area. Definitely family oriented. Quite pleased with Brookhaven so far.

Totally cliché, but I'm going to daringly say that Henderson Park has something for everyone. When…read moreI was there, I observed a kids soccer game, picnickers, hikers, dogs being walked by their owners, Girl Scouts having a meeting, fisherpeople, photoshoots, children playing, birthday parties, and people just chilling by the lake. Seriously, that's nearly everyone who wants to be outside! Regarding hiking, the trails are not marked very clearly. The map doesn't show all the turnoffs, and it gets confusing. Maybe it's this way to give you a sense of adventure? At least it's tough to get really lost since you're often within sight of houses or the road. Beautiful woods! As for restrooms, there was a porta potty in the parking lot adjacent to the playground by Lake Erin, and the map indicates that there are other restrooms in Henderson Park too. Speaking of maps, I might recommend a quick peek at one before you go since the park can be accessed from different roads (Henderson and Livsey). Didn't get to explore the other side of the park with the native plant and wildlife walk this trip but next time!

When the shelter in place order began, I looked for places to hike that were not too far from home…read more I came across Henderson Park and decided to give it a try. This is a great neighborhood park. If I lived nearby, I'd take a walk here every chance I could. In addition to the trails, there are athletic fields, a kids play area and a great wide deck where people can look out at the lake or eat a nice lunch. There is a lot of parking and the park itself is well-maintained. I was able to find a map of the park trails online, and it was helpful but trail maps aren't perfect. I tried to walk as many of the trails as I could, but I was turned around a lot. We'd also had a lot of rain prior to my visit so a lower trail path by the lake was flooded. There is a small waterfall in the park, and I think I saw it but I'm not sure. There were a lot of rock formations in the creeks/streams, and none were labeled. I went to Henderson Park with a friend who needed to use the bathroom. The main bathrooms are located on the west end of the park by the soccer fields. On the east end of the park, there are port-a-potties. There are no bathrooms near the kids park which was a surprise and why I mention where the bathrooms are located. Overall, I'm glad that I gave Henderson Park a visit. The people who live nearby are lucky to have it.
