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!

January 23, 2021…read more McIntosh Reserve is about an hour outside of Atlanta in Carroll County, Georgia. It is a a 527 are park home to some rich history and popular amongst equestrians, nature hiking, and boarders the Chattahoochee River and definitely a spot to cool off in the summer. The park has a good website: http://www.carrollcountyga.com/293/McIntosh-Reserve-Park I would take a peek at the events calendar. Would be nice to see some music festivals here. The River ran swiftly while we were visiting, and there is plenty of space to picnic or grill on the premises with park benches and covered seating under a nice pavilion. The park happened to host the Jerome Scales 10k race held by the Atlanta Track Club on this day, which is why we were here. (Otherwise I might never have know about it.) We had a parking pass and entered the park, and were directed to park on a wide field. Went down to register and obtain our bibs at around 7:30am on a chilly morning. Thankfully we had a cloudless sky and the promise of a a sunny morning. The races began at 8am with 20 socially distanced athletes wearing masks setting off every 5 minutes. My time slot was 8:20 and Nicole was at 9:05 which was perfect because we could both race! The course was completed in 2.5 loops with 50% grass, 33% hard pack gravel, and 17% roads with a good hill. I was happy to come in 3rd overall. Nicole ran a slightly less competitive time but had fun too. History: The Reserve is named for William McIntosh, Jr., a prominent Creek Indian leader and planter. The plantation was known as Lochau Talofau, which in English means "Acorn Bluff". It is adjacent to Acorn Creek. McIntosh lived in a modest home, a two-story log house with a central, open "dog run" passage on both floors. The house doubled as an inn for travelers. A reconstructed house is open to park visitors today. In 1825, McIntosh signed the second Treaty of Indian Springs. The treaty essentially sold all Creek lands in Georgia and Alabama to the United States government; McIntosh was allowed to keep his plantation in exchange for signing the treaty. The treaty had been opposed by the Creek National Council and it violated the Law, the Code of 1818. The Council ordered the execution of McIntosh and other signatories for having committed a capital offense against the government by ceding communal lands, and he was executed at his home in 1825. McIntosh's single-plot, military grave may be found just across the road from the reconstructed house. Carroll County acquired Lochau Talofau in 1978; the plantation now lies within McIntosh Reserve boundaries.[1] McIntosh Reserve Park was closed for several months in 2009 and 2010, following the September 2009 flooding on the Chattahoochee River. The park was scheduled to reopen for Memorial Day weekend, 2010. Looking forward to our next visit.
