While this part of the city boasts most of the shopping and restaurants, what most don't know is there is a lot more to Newnan than Exit 47! I grew up in Newnan and have watched in amazement of seeing it turn from a two lane little town to one of the south's fastest growing metro suburbs. The growth has been so intense the past years, Newnan has added an exit on the interstate! If you pop off the interstate and head towards and into downtown Newnan, you feel like you are hours away from the Ashley Park/Bullsboro part of town, and this is where most of the history and allure of small town Newnan is held! Known as the "City of Homes", downtown Newnan boasts some absolutely beautiful homes that date back well over 100 years. In addition to the homes, many of the buildings on the square are original to Newnan's creation and hold a lot of small and large architectural details that tell fantastic stories. A lot of Newnan's history lies in and around the downtown area. Notable places are the Coweta County African American Museum and The Farmer Street Cemetery, which is the largest slave cemetery in the south and possibly in the country. Along with the history Newnan holds as a Southern City, there have been a lot of notable folks come from the streets of ole Newnan. A few folks you may know are Alan Jackson, Keith Brooking, Monica, and Calvin Johnson...just to name a few folks are a little more relevant to current times! With Atlanta turning into the "Hollywood of the South" in recent years, Newnan has seen its fair share of film crews on the streets! Most notably The Walking Dead, Zombieland, Hunger Games and LoveCraft Country have all been fully or partially filmed around Newnan! And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the 90's classics Fluke and Pet Cemetery that were filmed in Newnan before it was cool! A piece of history that Newnan would prefer to not be part of was the EF4 Tornado that hit the city, mainly the downtown and historic part of the city, in March 2021. It is one of the strongest tornados to hit the area in over 70 years. Overall, Newnan is an excellent place and has a little bit of something for everyone. It is constantly growing, evolving and finding ways to stand out amongst the metro suburbs, but even with all the growth and popularity Newnan still has a small town vibe and will forever be my tiny little hometown!

WHAT'S UP IN NEWNAN?…read more I recently visited the small town of Newnan because I love exploring older communities with great history, great buildings and warm people. The one thing that got me really excited to visit was the Coweta County Courthouse built in 1904. It is absolutely stunning and sits at the center of town. It's final renovation was completed in 2010 and it was money well spent. On the grounds of the courthouse, you will find historical markers that pay tribute to the town's Civil War history and it's volunteers. The courthouse is surrounded by various businesses and restaurants so it is the perfect destination if you are interested in grabbing a bite to eat and doing some local shopping. Before you head out, you will want to stop by the local Visitor's center, (located on the lower level of the courthouse) in order to grab some brochures and to get some general information about the area. I really enjoy exploring Civil War history so I was excited to visit the historical Brown's Mill, Battlefield Park, (located just three miles SW of town), where the south actually won a major victory. I had wanted to visit the history museum, (located in the old train depot), but it is open by appointment only and I was very disappointed to discover that the Male Academy, (Civil war artifacts and photos), was actually closed during the time that it was scheduled to be open. On my next visit, I will plan ahead to make sure that I have access to both of these museums. During community events like Market Days, I think that all of the important sites should be open and accessible to the visiting public. That would have just made my day! I did get to see the Veteran's Memorial Plaza which was a great tribute to the community's Veterans and is a special gathering place during those special holidays when we honor our Vets. As we left the downtown area and headed south, we really enjoyed looking at all of the beautiful historic homes with their warm and inviting porches. I grew up in the south and it seemed that almost every home had a porch where you would welcome visitors to come and sit for a spell. One of the primary feature of these porches was a swing which seems to be consistent with many of the homes here as well. It was a nice drive down memory lane. After driving out a bit further, we stumbled upon Ashley Park which is a large outdoor shopping mall. It was a nice day for being outside so after getting a healthy lunch, we walked around a bit and relaxed under the gazebo. Adjacent to Ashley Park is another shopping center so we also explored that area as well. This town is a great mix of old and new where history is preserved and not forgotten. I would absolutely visit Newnan again because I really enjoyed my time here. The residents were warm and welcoming and it reminded me of my own home town where everyone is greeted like old friends. It's a great place to explore and I highly recommend that you take time to visit.

There is a half mile paved walking trail around the pond with a covered pavilion, playgrounds and picnic tables all around the walking trail.

You can enter the LINC from different locations in Newnan. I prefer entering off of Lower Fayetteville and park adjacent from Newnan Centre. There's a bench & bike pump next to the parking lot, where you can prepare before your ride or walk. The entrance is beautiful before you enter the trail! If you make a right and follow the path all the way up, you come out on Newnan Crossing Boulevard (across from PROMENADE apartments at Newnan Crossing). You can cross the street and walk in a complete circle around Kroger & O'REILLY AUTO PARTS (on Summerlin Blvd) to add more time to your walk, if not you can stop where the trail ends, turn around and walk back to your starting point. Upon walking on the trail, you will enjoy natures beauty, depending on the time of day there a plenty people walking, running, or cycling. You may see wildlife, so be MINDFUL! I've only seen squirrels during my visits. In addition, Newnan Police Bicycle Patrol (in pairs) ride through to ensure safety and address any issues. The trail is family & pet friendly too!

This Dog Park, prior to recent disturbing events, would've gotten 10 stars. It has large small dog…read morearea, which is the section I used with my two small dogs. However, in recent visits, there are a number of issues that are causing my decision to not go to this park anymore. 1. There is an elderly woman who is bringing her older lighter brown female dog into the park that has attacked my 4 month old female puppy viciously 3 times. At one visit, the older lighter brown female dog was already in the park and attacked my female puppy immediately as my puppy entered the park. I was able to separate them, and the elderly woman scolded her dog, and I went ahead on in with the assurance of the elderly woman that she would control her dog. But a few minutes later, the older lighter brown female dog went after my female puppy even more viciously. After I separated them again, the elderly woman took her older lighter brown female dog out of the dog park. 2. Another day, this same elderly woman came to the park after I was already in the park and on the far side of the park. As is common practice for the dogs already in the park, many, if not all of them, rush to the entrance gate to greet the incoming dogs. My two small dogs were amongst four other dogs who all ran to the entrance gate to greet the incoming dog, which was the older lighter brown female dog, who immediately singled out my female puppy out of the group of dogs that had gone to the entrance gate and once again viciously attacked my female puppy. I happened to have notice the elderly woman getting out of her car and identified the older lighter brown female dog that had attacked my female puppy previously, so I was quickly making my way to the entrance gate, but the older lighter brown female dog had already started viciously attacking my 4 month old female puppy. I was able to swoop up my female puppy and also my male puppy and immediately left the dog park. The elderly woman, whose dog attacked my dog, made no effort to apologize, or make sure my dog was ok. This elderly woman should not be allowed to bring her vicious dog into the dog park. 2. A Sunday visit to the dog park later in the early evening one of my dogs jumped up onto the table under the canopy and fortunately I was near by and was getting him down off the table, but what had caught his immediate attention was someone had left a bunch of religious booklets across the table top with beef jerky pieces laid on top of each of the booklets. I appreciate folks wanting to exploit dog park visitors with their religious beliefs, but leaving beef laying out with the booklets shows an ignorance and complete lack of respect for the rules and common sense aspects of a dog park not to bring food products into the dog park, whether it is people food, dog food, dog treats, etc. and to try to lure the dogs in the park to the jerky so the pets owner sees their religious booklets is a vicious and mean thing to do. Many dogs could end up getting sick of the jerky, or worse choke on it and die. 3. Another time a family of wild kids came in with sack lunches and the kids running wild in the park. This caused a regular visitor to the park to leave without coming into the park. I am deadset against children being allowed to play in a dog park, since that is disruptive to the dogs... After all, dogs aren't allowed in children's parks... And the head of the family acted surprised when advised that people food was not allowed in the dog park... As I pointed that out, several dogs jumped up on the table and went after the bags of food as soon as the bags of food were placed on the table. Whoever is managing this park needs to take a more active role in making sure vicious dogs are kept out of the park and folks are better informed about not bringing any kind of food stuffs, snacks, etc. into the park. But... we responsible pet owners are able to self regulate... It is the folks who just simply don't care that ruin it for everyone else.

I came back to enjoy this beautiful park because it held such great memories for me. It is Labor Day weekend and there were 2 other cars in the parking lot.

Charge a day use fee, but allow others to enjoy the park as well without having to pay such an exorbitant fee.

My BF grew up in the area and says this new park/lake has all of the fish that was once housed in Line Creek Parks lake. Long story short it sounds like the two lakes got combined and is now a bigger better lake known as Lake McIntosh. I believe the park opened in July 2013. The entrance that we used is at the end if TDK Blvd and I believe the complex was called Southpark something :-) . It's a 1-2 minutes from the PTC Airport. If you blink you will miss it so be on the lookout. Turn off Joel Cowan Pkwy onto TDK Blvd and get your $10 ready! There is a paved walking trail, restrooms, a gazebo, benches along the trail, a playground for the kids and much more! You can dock your boats here too. Fishing requires a GA Fishing permit. There is a $10 park entrance fee if you are NOT a resident of Fayette County. You can bring your pets as long as they remain leashed and of course you should make sure to clean up after Fido or Kitty! This is PTC so you have the option of jumping in one of the family Golf Carts (Apparently you can rent them as well) or your Automobile to get there. There is parking there for both. Unfortunately, we took the golf cart because I wanted the experience of riding around PTC in a golf cart. Of course, it was a scorcher that day. Now, my Father told me often times that you should learn something new every day of your life. On this day,I learned to ride around PTC in the damn truck when it's 95 + degrees outside! I would have given a 5 Star but I need proof that there are fish up in the spot first and there is NO SWIMMING ALLOWED! ***We visited again in mid December 2015 and were happy to see that the fish are finally ready. We will be back to see how well we do once our boat is done with repairs.
