    There is a kiosk selling ice cream, churros, nachos, etc. Great for those watching all the soccer and volleyball matches. It seems that the lower fields are for more casual soccer games and are well used as indicated by the grass. The walking trail is nice, easy, and paved.

    In a fit of "Well, I feel like walking and playing Pokémon GO," I drove to Dresden Park for the first time back in September 2016. I'd seen it quite often driving along Dresden Drive, always promising I'd go there to see what it's like. It was a pretty interesting walk, though I didn't take in quite as much as I'd have liked to review it. So I came back today. Driving down the way to the actual meat of the park (and the parking itself) had felt like driving down one of those long driveways that almost put the house in another ZIP code to the main street at its entrance. This time around, though, the parking lot felt closer, and there seemed to be more spaces. Somewhat comically, the driveway has a 10 1/2 mile-per-hour speed limit. How does one determine 10 1/2 versus 11? I have an analog speedometer, so I'm driving the 10. There are a number (probably 20 or so) dedicated "compact" vehicle parking spaces closest to the pavilion and playground areas. Even so, I've seen utility vans, trucks, minivans, SUVs, full-sized cars, and compact cars alike all squeezing into the spaces. When there aren't vehicles next to one another, they seem to fit fine (though, as I'd implied, none of the larger vehicles parked next to one another). The pavilion does have a grill, so this is an option. It does seem it's first-come, first-use, and they close the park at 11:00pm (so that's quite a bit of use for the day!). A main walking/running trail circles the central athletic field (which they've seemed to have closed; the city code seems to imply one needs to have a permit to use it, and they close it to all entry otherwise), and they have a secondary trail just off the park's entrance that I have yet to explore. A couple auxiliary paths come off the main trail, so one can have a good little walk and/or run (but, per code, one cannot bike on the trails) with what the park has. One piece of the trail passes by a small, scenic, shaded creek. I did hear a couple mothers yelling at their children in Spanish to watch out for snakes; that made me chuckle. The park has a concession building with restrooms in the back, but I have yet to see either open (perhaps to be when they do have games). The restrooms not being open leaves me curious about the park itself. For a park where people bring their children sometimes, it does seem (or it gives me the odd feeling of it being) -- please forgive me -- just a little bit "cruisy". This may be one reason for the restrooms not being as available as one might hope, but that's purely speculation. There was a fairly constant police presence in the park the last time I'd gone. The central field being off-limits, there is a secondary practice soccer pitch with a pair of goals. If people wish to play, this is where they have to do it. All-in-all it's a pretty cool neighborhood park for jogging and walking, as well as keeping kids occupied for a little bit. There aren't many amenities like larger parks, and the closed restrooms seem to keep one from planning too long an excursion there (except for possibly when they actually have events). A recent news alert on the City of Chamblee website ( http://www.chambleega.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=365 ) seems to indicate they may have more things to come for the park with some nearby land they'd annexed, so we'll see.

Taken from the chambleega website: Keswick Park Chamblee's largest park, covering more than 45 acres, with a neighborhood focus. Facilities Include: walking trails (that connect to the Mid city district) dog park a full-size adult softball field tee-ball field soccer field multi-purpose field two tennis court outdoor basketball court Our playground facilities are ADA accessible playgrounds. 3,500 square foot community building Keswick is a true neighborhood park, because we visited the entryway at the park sign and only saw a couple of fields, walking trial and a playground. It wasn't until we continued driving did we see the park expanding and reaching into different corners of the neighborhood. If I lived in the area i'd visit this park daily, and the fact that you can take a trail to the city is kinda awesome. Clean park with lots to do as well as a community building with restrooms makes Keswick Park a neighborhood park hidden to all but those who live here. Pay this hidden gem a visit.

    The main office doesn't respond to anything. Don't expect any help if the local rep isn't being…read morehelpful. I wouldn't bother signing up as a free agent without knowing members of the team/the captain pretty well. Some of the captains they rely on are as rude, dishonest, and incompetent as the league officials. The league will tell you they can move you to a new team if you don't get along or are mistreated by the team you're assigned to, then they will wait too long or end up not bothering/lie and tell you it's too late as apparently this league is too serious. Even if there are games remaining in the regular season. If you like having rainout games not being made up and credits not being offered as stated in the terms and conditions then go ahead and sign up. If you like being told specific rules have been disregarded because of apparent captain votes the league didn't announce go ahead. If you want to be assigned to a field you didn't sign up for with no explanation or apology, then be scheduled to play starting as late as 10pm go ahead. This is a ripoff and inconsiderate. I have been polite and am being treated like crap. Don't bother discussing refunds in any circumstances. They probably wouldn't give one even if they cancelled the season. If the league disbanded they would probably try to give you leftover shirts as a comp instead of your money back. Update: Hi Ian, Thank you for your continued engagement with our league and for sharing your concerns. I appreciate the opportunity to address this matter comprehensively. After thorough consultations with both team captains and our support team, alongside a review of our correspondences, it's clear that substantial efforts were made to accommodate your requests. The decision to initially offer a team switch was made in good faith, aiming to enhance your experience within our league--a gesture beyond our typical protocol. However, the nature of your recent requests--particularly the timing and frequency of desired changes--poses significant challenges. Introducing a new player into a team's established dynamics towards the end of the season disrupts not only their strategic setups but also their camaraderie and collective rhythm. Such changes can be detrimental to the overall team environment and the league's integrity. Given these considerations, and with respect for all participants, it is not feasible to proceed with a team change at this stage. Our policies and the structure of the season do not support such a move this late in the game without risking the detriment of all involved. Furthermore, as per our terms and conditions, the circumstances described do not qualify for a credit issuance. While I understand this may be disappointing, please know that the decision is rooted in maintaining fairness and consistency across our league. I must emphasize that this decision is final, and as such, we will not be able to entertain further discussions on this matter. Your understanding and acknowledgment of the efforts made on your behalf would be appreciated. Thank you for your participation this season, and while I regret that we may not meet your expectations in this instance, I sincerely hope you find a league that aligns more closely with your preferences. Live Life Fun, Britt Mench ---- I didn't say I was leaving the league prior to this. They told me I wasn't welcome back after one of their captains was rude to me. The league director was too busy for me.

It is a no show zone but they have buckets to put your shoes in that you can keep with your party. I like this idea better than the lockers. I like that I can see my things. It has a baby side for toddlers and a big kids side for 4-5+ which I appreciated. There's something for everyone. I loved the baby side, my 1 year old thought it was fun and the big kids side was a blast. It has obstacle courses and a next level soccer field (what?!) it was definitely a cool place to party. The service was good and the girls at the front desk were very pleasant. They have two massive slides that I recommend wearing leggings or swishy pants to go on for the epic side experience. They also have a dance room (not sure if they have bubbles) and games. The only thing they don't have here is trampolines, which I think would bring this place to the next level, for sure. Overall my family enjoyed and we will definitely be back!
