We played the disc golf course at Brook Run Park while our daughter was in a nearby class, and overall we had a good time. The layout is fun and the park itself is beautiful, especially in the winter when the leaves are thin and you can actually see the baskets through the trees. That said, the course could really benefit from clearer signage. Several pads weren't well marked, and we even had to skip a hole because we couldn't figure out where it started or ended. Since we only had time to play about half the course, we found ourselves spending more minutes navigating than throwing. I can't imagine how tough it must be in the summer when everything is fully leafed out -- it's probably like searching for a needle in a haystack. Still, it's a solid course in a great park, and with better markings it could easily be a five‑star experience. read more

My family came here during the holidays to check out the holiday lights and we had soooooo much fun! I had no idea this was an annual thing and am happy that the city of Dunwoody does this and am definitely looking forward to next year's lights. While there were a ton of people, there was plenty of parking and I appreciated that there was an officer there to keep the flow of cars moving along. The park itself had several playgrounds and I loved they were padded. The kids had a blast on slides, swings and running around in the wide open space. The bathrooms were clean which always makes things even better. The kids had a blast playing with all the other kids and this is definitely a playground I'd come back to visit. read more

Brook Run Park - Holiday lights! - Playgrounds Near Me - Dunwoody, Georgia

we're really love this park. During the summertime they have like a small water/river that the kids can splash around in. I recommend you bring at least water, friendly shoes, and maybe even a swimsuit depending on your toddler and how comfortable you are. They have multiple playgrounds for different ages and swing sets. It's a large area. There's plenty of parking but it is a huge park overall, not just a playground, including a skate park next-door so the parking can get very busy especially on weekends. I think there's a farmers market nearby as well. It's obviously free. In the winter close to Christmas they have lights and stuff around there which is super fun. They also have a field close by, not that big but nice to run around in. They have a walking pathway for everyone else. It's always relatively busy sometimes more than others. Very cute. Sometimes the equipment can get a little dirty. Some of it is a little worn down which I don't love, but that's what happens when it's constantly used. Overall, we love this place! In the summertime in spring, just remember there are bees around especially the water area. The water is continuously running it's not still water, which is nice but they do shut it off in the evening. Still not sure exactly what time it starts in the morning and it's been off this winter, as expected. read more

My friend and I met up and I happen to have the dogs with me, we were going to try a coffee shop, but ended up here instead. I haven't been to this park in forever, back when I used to race there was a race held in February that I've done a couple times And I remember it being very scenic. This is a great place to walk your dogs or just go on a walk by yourself or with friends. There's a little playground equipment for kids as well. I'd say it's a good fit for everyone. What a great venue to just walk around and not have to worry about distractions like cars. They have poop bags strategically placed along the route, which is perfect as well. A lot of the path had sunlight which kept us warm because it was actually a pretty cold day out. I think we walked about 3 miles which was perfect and I definitely would endorse this place For anyone looking to get some outdoor activity. It was a very clean park as well. Please, let's keep it that way! Parking is free and there are plentiful spots. I love the beauty of the outdoors and this is definitely a great place to take it all in. read more

This park is amazing. It is like a little city and spans 110 acres. They have a very nice dog park that is separated into two sections, one for small dogs and the other for larger dogs. You will also find a 9-hole disc golf course scattered in the parks woods and a very nice paved 2-mile trail system. The park has shelters spread out around the grounds. Some are single picnic table shelters and some are single picnic table gazeoobos and there is a medium sized first-come, first-serve pavilion, with a restroom facility attached. The park has ample bathroom facilities and a decent amount of parking.The park is also home to a skate park, a community garden, and outdoor amphitheater. Just off of the amphitheater is the Great Lawn pavilion which has picnic tables under it that seats 200 and grills outside of it. The community garden has organic food and is run by volunteers, so there are no set hours. The skate park is lighted and spans 27,000 sq. ft. For an extra fee, the Treetop Quest is available. It is an elevated course and zip-line adventure that features 52 obstacles and 12 zip-lines in 4 courses. There is a lot of greennspace available at the park where you can play catch, have a picnic, play a game or just run around. The park's playground is awesome. It has a small creek that runs though it. I saw a bunch of kids playing in the water. The play ground is divided into an area for toddlers and an older kids area. The playground's equipment is very colorful and in excellent shape. There are jungle gyms canopies and slides, pebble bridges swings of varying sizes, several sets of monkey bars, a multicolored tunnel, and a "log roll" for balancing. There are two multi-sport fields, that are first come, first served for unorganized activities. The fields have a concession stand, overlook plaza, parking, restroom facility Additionally, there are two lighted baseball fields here that are available for pick-up games, outside of the scheduled school and baseball activities. They are very nice fields and are well maintained. Across from the playground is small veterans memorial. The building was locked during my visit so, I had to peek through the window to see it. This park is amazing and has everything. I really enjoyed my time here. You can easily spend a half a day or more here. I highly recommend checking this park out. It is a fabulous destination spot and I am sure that you will enjoy it. read more

This is currently one of my favorite local parks to go to. It is quite large and includes/connects to a lot of facilities: skate park, dog park, large playground, paved trials, farmer's market on the weekend, food trucks, Pernoshal park for basketball courts, soccer fields, Dunwoody community garden. There is good number of parking places and EV charging spots. Unlike other parks outside of Dunwoody, you do have to pay to charge. read more

This is one of the best parks that I have been to. It is a mini town in itself with everything that you can think of. Here are some of the things I have explored and I am sure there might be some others that I am yet to experience: 1) Park 2) Walking trail 3) Running trail 4) Dog park 5) On Saturday morning, we have a farmers market in one of the sections 6) Christmas lights in a section in December 7) Playground for kids (I don't remember but there is soccer and basketball space there) 8) Amphitheatre 9) Recently there was a Vietnam War memorial inaugurated These are just to name a few. People living nearby have a great place to enjoy every activity Apart from this, there are ample parking spaces at different gates. If you ever get a chance to visit this place, don't miss this chance and I am sure everyone will find something to enjoy and value here. read more

Nice, clean park which connects to pershonal park in chamblee. The total trail distance is about 3miles (4 if you include the connecting park). Its great for picnics, children and working out. There is enough parking in busy parts of the park like where thet have the festivals but if you dont mind walking a bit then you can find parking deeper in the park. I reccomend checking the calendar of events often because they have lots of activities. read more

Brook Run Park - Soccer Field - Playgrounds Near Me - Dunwoody, Georgia

I am very impressed by Brook Run Park because of the variety of things to do and see! I've come here a few times during the past year, mainly to walk, jog and run. During those times, I've run around the park, through the park, through fields - just about everywhere seeing what's in the park, and the things I've noticed so far are: * Soccer field * Picnic pavilions - covered and with restrooms. * Great Lawn Amphitheater * Skatepark - it's big! * Playground that has padding on the ground and is covered, so kids (and parents) can play on the equipment in the shade. * Veteran's Memorial building * Dunwoody Trailway - this cement paved path is used by walkers, bicyclists, runners and dog walkers, and circles the 2.75 mile-long perimeter of the park. It also branches out toward Park at Pernoshal Court. * Ziplines * Treetop obstacle course - the vendor (Treetop Quest) sells snacks and drinks during their limited hours. * Frisbee golf course * Beehives * Dog parks - separate parks for large dogs and small dogs. * Dunwoody Community Garden and Orchard * Certified Wildlife Habitat * Lots of parking spaces - on the street and in lots. Note that there may be fees or memberships required for some of these activities (I didn't do full research on everything). A park directory that I looked at included 2 baseball fields, but they look like they are used by a school. This park is well maintained, except for the dog parks, which I think need some improvement. I'm surprised there isn't a pool or a water park here. If you have little kids, there are lots of places at this park for them to explore, but not on their own. If you plan on visiting this park, you'll have to bring your own food and drinks; bring water as a minimum. There are lots of green space to enjoy. Enjoy! read more

Great loop walk for strollers. They have EV parking, but you have to pay unlike other parks. I wished it was free, but I guess not. Would definitely recommend coming here as it's a great family spot. When the weather is good, this place is absolutely packed. read more

My favorite paved park to run and train in. The shade is perfect in the summer, the leaves are stunning in the fall, and the width of the sidewalk is ideal for foot traffic flow. There's a dog park, playground for the kiddos, and farmers market on Saturdays. Things you should know: I. PARKING There's plenty at the entrance. If it's full (like it typically is Saturdays) then you just need to pull back a little further into the park. There's spots available everywhere. II. QUALITY Very well maintained. A lot of the facilities are NEW. III. CAPACITY It gets very lively in the evenings and weekends read more

I was hanging out with one of my friends and he showed me the brookrun park and i have been obsessed with it. every weekend i go to their skatepark to practice scootering in the bowl and shourly enough there will be someone to help me learn new tricks. the community here is phenomenal and awesome, everybody is nice and is very welcoming. the owner of the skate shop in the skate park is also very helpful teaching me how to drop in on the bowl and selling me food. he also held a summer camp which i attended to last summer and i had such a great time. I 100% recomend this skate park and the summer camp. read more

Great park to get your daily walking in! The main trail will take about 30 minutes to get back to the parking lot. People walk, roller skate, bring their dog, etc. It's relatively flat with a few uphills. They keep it relatively clean as well. There is also ample parking nearby, bathrooms and a big playground for kids. They also have a big activity area with roofs that you can reserve for events. It's just off the highway and pretty close by for anyone living ITP or OTP! read more

Brook Run Park - Playgrounds Near Me - Dunwoody, Georgia

Such a great park in the neighborhood! A lot bigger than I had originally thought (looking at Google Maps). There's a trail that circles around the whole park with a connector trail to/from N Shallowford Road (haven't taken that connector route). Great for walking, running, and biking. There are also pavilions you can rent for large group barbecues and other events as well as a big amphitheater. Soccer fields are also available for rent. Large open fields spread throughout the park for picnics. Great activities for kids as well (playground treehouse obstacle course, zipline). The park is right next to a middle school, so people access the baseball fields from the park as well (a portion of the parking lot is blocked off on Saturday mornings for the baseball games/practices). There are dog parks as well. That's the only part I'm a little disappointed by. First of all, it's all rocks and not grass. And secondly, the small dog park is like 1/10 of the big dog park (I'm probably exaggerating a bit with the ratio). I mean, obviously big dogs need a bigger space, but why make the small dog park so tiny! Small dogs need a big space to run around in and burn off their yappy energy! Other than that, I absolutely love this park and I go very often. One of the best parks I've been to. read more

The EV parking is not free. For that, I deduct a point. I don't get why a public park needs to have paid EV parking. It should be free. It's also annoying to set it up. Otherwise, this is a great park. This is a park that has something for everyone. A playground for the little ones, dog park for the furry things, a skate park for people that like to roll, a disc golf area, some baseball fields, zip lines, and other amenities. It's huge. It's over 100 acres. Since I have a little kid, I mostly hung around the playground area. The playground looks great. It's catered to littlest of tykes to older kids. They have slides and play-sets of all sizes. As an added bonus, it's mostly shaded. The playground even has an artificial creek for the kids to play in. It's supposed to be chlorinated, so it's clean. If you don't have a pool in a hot summer day, you can bring your kids here to splash in there. Make sure to bring a towel. They have a decent trail here too. It's about a few miles, not too strenuous. They also have an area to picnic and enjoy the surroundings. It's a good park. Now only if they have free EV parking, it would make it a great park. read more

What a great looking park! I didn't get a chance to see all of it, but what I did see, I really liked. We started by checking out the playground. It was much bigger and had way more slides and things to do than I initially expected. I liked how it was split into multiple playgrounds divided by age groups. There was a section for babies, one for kids under 5, and another for 5 and older kids. Plenty of activities to keep your kids busy and entertained. There is a picnic pavilion for adult seating with a good view of all of the playgrounds so you can keep an eye on your kids. And as an added bonus, it is all covered and shaded. As we were leaving, I decided to do a quick drive around to see what else might be around the park. To my surprise, there was a nice looking skate park with several people using it. There are some walking trails. And lastly, just out of curiosity, we followed signs that led to a ziplining and ropes course. So cool! Will definitely want to come back again to check that out next time. It also looked like there was more construction going on, so it may be expanding soon. Can't wait to see what else they decide to add to the park. read more

Brook Run Park is a great little park! There's plenty of parking. They have a skate park, fields, and even a walking trail! In December, they have lights. It's not much, but it's cute!

Still one of my favorite parks to go visit. Since this whole pandemic have shaken our communities, it was refreshing to just watch & play with my son outside.

Someone finally made a Yelp page for Brook Run PARK, versus the dog park alternative that the lady who owned the page would individually comment on each review unrelated to the dog park. Since I've moved to Dunwoody, Brook Run has been my regular running spot. I live close to the Park at Pernoshal, so a full circle from home to Brook Run through the Park at Pernoshal (at the 3/4 mile marker) and then back home is about 3.5 miles. I hate the hills but I know they're good for me. That .25 mile hill is the worst - gradual enough that I don't die but steep enough to burn. And it just seems never-ending. The paved trail around the park is right under 1.75 miles. Run a couple times to get your 5K prep in. On Thursday's from the spring to fall, be sure to partake in the Dunwoody Food Trucks nights! There's live music and a few food trucks to choose from. I have run past the fun several times too many without stopping to grab food and/or drink. There are also plenty of things to do at Brook Run - from the playground, garden and paved running trail to the dog park, zip-line and the skate park, those are just some of the amenities you can find. Brook Run Park is a solid park with a little something for everyone. Get outside and visit Brook Run! read more

This park has grown on me over the years and during the pandemic, my family and I are thankful that we can take walks here and sometimes meet up friends for a picnic with distance and air circulation galore. We have loved coming to Brook Run in the past for playground adventures and food truck dinners and while those activities are on hold for the foreseeable future, the paved paths and picnic tables throughout this 110-acre park are incredibly appreciated by us these days, even if the temperatures are reaching the triple digits. I used to be the opposite of an outdoors person, especially during the oppressive summers of Georgia, but I'm learning to bend a little bit since home confinement has left me holding on to shreds of insanity. If you're in the area, go to Brook Run to reconnect with nature and recharge a bit. But wear a mask if you can and by God, stay away from others. read more

Brook Run Park is such a great local park and much larger than nearby parks. They have walking trails, large playgrounds, fields that you can have picnics or a pickup soccer game in, and a skate park! Most Thursdays, they have food trucks in the evenings, so it can be an enjoyable spot for everyone in the family. Highly recommend! read more

Lovely place for a late fall 5K! One of the first real Fall Feels on a Saturday morning and a big turnout of kids, pets, 5K and 10K runners and all kinds of treats and finisher swag. It looks like they are doing a little ground work in a spot or two in the park - a little open turf and mud to cross from finish line sidewalk to parking lot where all the tables bearing gifts were. Basketball players were having fun on the court, there's a nice covered area with picnic tables and full size restrooms at the back. The path we ran was between all the trees, nicely hilly and straight and over several short bridges which made it fun. Seems like a good Dunwoody spot for whatever outdoor fun you might want to have! read more

Best and biggest dog park in Atlanta for sure! However, I'm conflicted. Why? On our second visit, it was later in the evening (around 8pm) and while we were in the "woods" portion, we ran into a copperhead snake! It had the distinct Hershey kisses like shaped pattern and it was motionless. I legit thought it was a dog toy until I shined my light at it to get a closer look. I know I know I KNOW that this is obviously outdoors/Georgia/wooded area/nature/etc and that you can't really control nature but I feel like it would be a good idea to have signs up so they dog parents can be aware to be on the lookout for them incase one of their furbabies get bit by one! I had no idea and never expected snakes, let alone a copperhead, to be in a dog park! Beautiful park but just watch your babies closely! read more

This is such a great park! It is located just north of 285 in Dunwoody. There is ample parking spots which is always nice when pulling up someplace with kids. The facilities were clean which is good since it is a playground. The playground is split into multiple sections, based on the age of the kids. All of the play equipment is covered with a shade, which will become very useful in the summer. All of the equipment was in great shape. There are a ton of different slides and climbing items. My kids had a blast running around and it was easy to watch both. They also have picnic tables that you can use. There is an open area to kick a ball around also. They also have a skate park which we enjoyed looking at. There is also a walking trail. We decided to walk it and it was "interesting" You pass by a rope course entrance at the other end plus an abandoned building. I looked up the building online and it turns out that there used to be a mental institution where the park now stands and that the building was a dorm. creepy! I don't know where the closest place would be to get food to bring there, but I am sure I could have looked for a Publix. We went back 2 days in a row and will probably go again this weekend. read more

Brook Run Park has become our go-to weekend destination. We love the 1.75 mile path through the park, with its divided lanes for easy social-distancing. The path is quiet, but with steady traffic so that you pass several folks along the way. As you walk, you may pass folks practicing Tai Chi on the grass or a group of children playing soccer. On Saturday mornings you can take part in the Dunwoody Farmer's Market. In these times of isolation, being in an active part surrounded by people outside enjoying nature is a true balm to your soul. read more

I found this neighborhood park on a whim and it's really nice. I enjoyed walking the trail and plan to return soon.

This is one of my favorite parks to walk/run. I never have to worry about parking because there is more than enough space. There's parking near the main entrance, and more parking deeper into the park past the skating park. I love how its never really crowded but always just enough people around to see if someone tries to snatch me lol. The paved trail is about 3 miles in total. Aside from the trail there are other things like the skating park, a nice sized playground and play area for kids, dog park, zip lining area, soccer field, picnic gazebo and tables and open lawn areas. The park is always spotless and has nice scenery throughout. They also have a famers market set up near the entrance on Saturdays. read more

Great park for kids! There are several shaded/covered play areas for toddlers to older kids. Good options for beginners to advance climbers. The water fountains are not presently working and not available for kids to play in. There are tons of benches for parents and adults to sit while their kiddos play. In addition, I see a skateboard park area. We spent a majority of our time in the play set area and will return to investigate more! read more

Hidden gem in Dunwoody. I first discovered this park when I was looking for a trail to run instead of the beltline. This is a very nice community park. Each Saturday they host Dunwoody farmers market which is packed with different food vendors. There's a small skate park, children's play area and a dog park. You can rent the table area near the kids play place for birthday parties; I've seen many here over the years. There's also Treetop Quest which is a ropes course. I come here to run. They have a loop that's almost 2mi which is mostly shaded and there are many rolling hills. It's never crowded like the beltline. Here and there I pass dogs with their humans, other runners/walkers, and families with children either walking or on bikes. This has to be the friendliest place to exercise. I swear almost everyone waves or gives you a head nod as they pass. read more

This is my son's review. He is in second grade. Brook Run is a reasonably nice park. It has 3 or 4 playgrounds, some of which are for the bigger kids, and others are for the smaller kids. It also has a very small playground for the really small kids. Brook Run is often packed with kids and very noisy. The playgrounds do not get very much sunshine (especially the tiny playground) due to tarps covering them. It is also a ginormous park and it is hard to get to every single area, so to be more efficient, you would just stay in 1 or 2 areas. There are 4 big swings and 2 little swings that are always occupied, so Brook Run should add some more. I think this park is overall pretty good. read more
