    Crappy grass, hardly any tables..
    Martin S.

    This is my first time coming to Brookhaven park and I am complex underwhelmed. I came here on a date and felt like I was in the slums somewhere in East Point. The grass looks disgusting, there's basically no place to sit and eat unless you want to walk into the fenced in dog area (obviously not) and it just looked poorly maintained. I've lived out here for 5 years and I'm shocked with all the money I pay in taxes that they can't make something better than this? I guess I was expecting Lenox Park or even the new greenway in Brookhaven but instead I got this lackluster park to enjoy. If you want to bring your dog here, I'm sure you would give it a 4/5 but if you're looking to come here and impress someone.. you're better off taking them out to your patio. Lol Sorry, just being honest. My friend is next to me agreeing with everything I'm saying so don't take this the wrong way. Anyway.. 1/5

    I attended Brookhaven Brunch Festival 2016 this past weekend. This was the 3rd event of Atlanta Beer Festivals thatI have attended. And it's Official. Atlanta Beer Festivals hosts the most outstanding social gatherings in Atlanta. Ash Said It so it must be true! Each event caters to every attendee. That's why so many look forward to it season after season. I met a group of 20 somethings that religiously attend most Atlanta Beer Festival events. They were young women that attended Georgia State years ago. They attended these events as freshmen and continue to attend now that they have graduated. Talk about dedication. This event was set in beautiful Brookhaven Park. The temperature was just right for this outdoor gala. There were two types of tickets. VIP and General admission. VIP got more perks than general admission. They were admitted at 11am, had an exclusive food tent, received unlimited drinks and were allotted 3 food vouchers. This company always takes care of their VIP guests. General admission was opened at noon. They only get 1 food voucher. All other samples are $3 each. This is the cheaper route and you don't get any extras. I had a marvelous time at Brookhaven Brunch Festival 2016. I didn't get to visit all the vendors but adored the ones that I did. Atlanta Beer Festivals are the premier events of Atlanta. If you have not been to one yet you need to. Sign up for their email and get notified of upcoming festivals. I will unquestionably be at the next big gathering. Stop me in my tracks to say hi.

    Been coming here for years and it's always a super nicely kept park. There is a mini trail that runs around the park, with a playground, basketball met, a couple of fields where groups play pick-up sports like kickball and ultimate, and a big area where dogs are always playing off-leash. Lots of doggy bag stations and trash cans. There's also a pavilion of sorts with about 10 picnic tables and an outdoor BBQ grill area. Parking for about 10 cars but plenty more come on foot from the surrounding areas.

    Warning! If you are not a dog lover, this IS NOT the park for you. My dog hates car rides so I'm normally hesitant about taking him to Piedmont Park for fear of the long car ride, but this was right in my backyard. The thing I love most about the park is how many off-leash dogs are running around. It's really amazing exercise! For my Pokémon go fans there's a gym and a Pokéstop! I'll definitely be returning to give my little buddy some exercise and a chance to make new friends.

    This park is wonderful! I especially like the dog park. It is HUGE and has a small creek flowing through it that the dogs love to play in. The park itself is very well-kept and clean. The dog park is one of the best I have ever been to. People are extremely friendly and always take care of their dogs at the park.

    Best Dog park I've been to. My dogs love coming here, they get plenty of exercise and definitely great for socializing. Great people that love and care for their pups.

    Awesome place to take the dogs. When we visited in oct 2016 there were only dog owners there and everyone was off leash. This may have changed so be aware of leash laws. While we were there it was awesome. I hipe it stays a local dog park!

    Decent playground. Need some work.
    Helen C.

    Decent playground. Needs work. Surrounded by lots of open space. Very dog friendly. If your kids are leery beware. But otherwise well behaved pups and their owners.

    Gorgeous grounds with plenty of area to run

I left grateful for the green space but not really feeling much else. For the kids, you have to realize: the Olympics put Atlanta on the map. Prior to the games, it was a mid-to-largish Southern city without much distinction.* After the games, it turned into the crowded af bastion of Southern pop culture. Atlanta's history is divided in pre- and post- games. That's why I thought that a trip here would be akin to Central, Golden Gate or Lincoln. Nope. It had some nice intentional design. Pavers. Statues. Fun water features. The Ferris wheel. The rings (the water fountain wasn't working during my visit). But... I don't know. Like I inferred above, it fell flat. Glad I saw it but I expected more. It's smaller than you imagine. Oh, and all the bathrooms were closed/locked on a Wednesday afternoon in mid-spring. I don't know what that's about. *Taking nothing away from Dr. King.

Initially we parked in the wrong lot but that worked in our favor (where the bait and tackle shop is). There were lots of families out having picnics and fishing. We did a 1-mile loop in the area and were able to see the yurts. NOTED . Beautiful sites to take in before we ventured to the main lots with the visitor's center. Not only are the trails well marked, but there is ample parking across multiple lots. The attendant at the gate entrance was so kind, welcoming and JOYful! We ventured out on the red trail and it was gorgeous. To my surprise, the trail was full today. It seems that Sweetwater is a populated date spot!!! We saw folks of all ages out with picnic baskets, journals, coloring books, bathing suits ... it was AMAZING! We hiked to the end of the red trail and back, venturing off trail to be clear to the River only once. By far, this was one of my favorite hikes and definitely a place I'll revisit to explore some of the other trails.

    Glenwood Park is a mixed-use development which opened in 2005 in East Atlanta. If traveling from…read moredowntown on I-20 eastbound, Glenwood Park is just off exit 59B (Memorial Drive, Glenwood Avenue). If traveling westboard towards downtown, take exit 60 (US 23, Moreland Avenue). This low key neighborhood, sandwiched between Grant Park and East Atlanta Village, is sort of "hidden." I think if you asked the average metro Atlantan if they've heard of Glenwood Park, they'd probably say no. Glenwood Park opened the same year as Midtown's Atlantic Station. Like Atlantic Station, Glenwood Park is all about urban and sustainable living. Unlike Atlantic Station, Glenwood Park isn't big. It's relatively small at just under 30 acres in total size. It's a lot quieter and isn't as commercialized. The property feels more residential than anything with quiet streets and wide sidewalks with nicely manicured lawns. After about a decade of existence, the development still looks great. There's a park/greenspace with a picturesque pond and a beautiful fountain. The community collects almost two-million gallons of its own well water per year in order to irrigate the park and street trees. There's a community garden where residents can reserve plots filled with high quality, organic soil. There's a dog park, playground, and neighborhood pool. One courtyard features a little stone fountain and full-sized bocce ball court. The layout was designed with pedestrians in mind, though there's plenty of free street parking and parking lots located on the development. It's clean and feels safe. The Atlanta BeltLine runs through the neighborhood in a north-south line. Food-lovers probably know Glenwood Park because of its restaurants, Gunshow, The Shed at Glenwood, and Vickery's Bar & Grill. Local celebrity chef Kevin Gillespie opened Gunshow in 2013 with fellow chefs Andreas Muller and Joey Ward. It may very well be *the* best restaurant in Atlanta. It's certainly one of the most fun and unique with it's American-style dim sum. You can read my review of Gunshow here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/gunshow-atlanta-2?hrid=_Zvxkqv86FBPQtUBysU21Q. The Shed at Glenwood is a modern farm-to-table restaurant with seasonal fare. Vickery's, known for its cocktails and burgers, opened its second Atlanta location in Glenwood Park. Drip coffee shop also has a location here.

    I'm not sure how to review a neighborhood but it shouldn't be too hard. This place is great -…read morebungalow style houses, flats, condos, townhomes and great neighbors. There are a handful of retail businesses on the south end of the neighborhood that we frequent and the usual smattering of intown amenities - proximity to downtown, Virginia Highland, Starlight Six Drive-In. You get the point. Since moving here in 2009 we have made so many good friends and really love where we live. There's a community garden, a pool/gym and a dedicated dog park free to residents (as of this writing). A brownfield redevelopment and product of Green Street properties, GWP is home to the 2005 Southern Living Idea House. Many of the homes are distinct in design, presentation and vary in style but all still flow together. Most lots are very small but we managed to eke out a wonderful front flower garden and transform the triangle shaped garden in the back into a treed and flowered sanctuary. We tried our hand at gardening in the community garden but the summer Atlanta sun and invasive weeds had us handily beat by mid July. In October each year, the Hotoberfest beer festival is held in and around the main park (now Brewer Park) drawing a few thousand people to the neighborhood. Less exciting but nearly as big a draw (maybe stretching here) is the annual garage sale. A handful of movies have been filmed here including the Blind Side and Hall Pass as is part of the Real Housewives of Atlanta (one of them lives here as of this writing). Like other neighborhoods that started mid real estate boom but not finished before the bang, there are empty lots, foreclosures and short sales. The last builder to get going has long ago gone out of business and a few independent developers have put up new homes but it remains to be seen if the original vision of Green Street and the first residents will be fulfilled. However, this remains a one-of-a-kind neighborhood south of I-20 and a great alternative to the stunning but prohibitively expensive homes in Morningside, Virginia Highland and the handful of other established intown neighborhoods. Being so close to everything available in Atlanta has spoiled us for going to festivals (Inman Park, Dogwood, Summerfest, Shade), the drive in and so much good food + drink in walking distance (you hear me $2 PBR at ten places I can walk to). The EAV and Grant Park are both short walks and great neighborhoods in and of themselves. The Zoo and Turner field are less than 3 miles away as are dozens of the best restaurants in Atlanta. The beltline trailhead is just across I-20 so you can walk off all the beer and carbs. Definitely kid friendly, we've seen at least six newborns arrive since we moved here. The little ones have a playground, a music class and no shortage of friends to grow up with. We will be adding our own in February 2012 so we're planning on being in Glenwood Park for the foreseeable future.
