I wasn't searching for the latest playground tech, just enough to keep my toddlers entertained. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to this playground. It has fun things for all ages. I wish it would get a good pressure wash at least once/year. Nonetheless, it has swings, slides, rock climbing, monkey bars, giant swing, giant spinner, zip-lining, and tent areas for grilling and/or entertaining. Did I mention the YMCA has a water park? It's a special bonus. We'll be back for sure!

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!

Negatives were all of the litter as well as the teens (after the high school across the street let out, they flicked to the park in large numbers) that were loudly fighting and swearing at each other at the restrooms next to the playground. I support and applaud them using a public space instead of getting into trouble elsewhere, but wish they would go to the other side of the park away from the playground swarming with young kids if they are going to fight and cuss. The women's restroom was out of order, which was also a bummer. We will definitely be back here whenever we visit Ellijay . We will just go well before school dismissal. :-)

My child's favorite was of course the zip line. I have never seen such a cool feature at a public park. It seemed new and everything was in good shape. There is a trail around the park so you can bring a bike as well and enjoy a ride, walk, or jog. So glad we live close to this amazing park for the kids. PRO TIP: If it is during non-school hours, park at the elementary as it is closer to the playground than the main park parking lot.

The playground equipment is set up for kids ages 2-5 and 5-12 (although my 2-year-old thinks the big one is for him). It's in a quiet neighborhood, so you don't hear any traffic or feel like you're even in the city. Most people seem to live close by and walk to the park...but I believe there's street parking near the entrance. My main concern about this park is the same as that of nearby Candler Park -- no public bathrooms. When you're potty training a toddler, it's a serious struggle.
