The park is managed by the Atlanta Memorial Park Conservancy who main focus of the parks conservation. At 199-acres, the park is Atlanta's 3rd largest park and is located among Buckhead's Memorial Park neighborhood. The park somehow claims the Bobby Jones Golf Course and Bitsy Grant Tennis Center. It runs along the Peachtree Creek and is a memorial to those who died in the Battle of Peachtree Creek You will see a small memorial called Debbie's Place, in the front of the park, that honors Debbie Felker. This is a nice low key park that sits low in a ravine. As I mentioned, the park is not short on green space that could be used to play field sports such as soccer, football, and baseball. You could also fly a kite, have a picnic or play catch there as well. The park has a lot of shade. You will find an outdoor seating area with tree stumps that looks like it it used for learning. There are also a few picnic tables and benches to sit as well. It should be noted that the park is in a floodplain, so it floods during heavy rains. The park has a playground area, that is on a bed of wood chips. There are toddler swings, a large net climber structure, a play structure with slides, tunnels, and bridges, a saucer swing, and ADA/traditional swing, a 4-person see-saw, and a a large play structure with a bunch of tall slides, monkey bars, bridges and a canopy. There is also a small slide structure for the littles. The equipment is a bit older, but still in decent shape. The park hosts events such as Sunday Sweets in the park!, Memorial in Motion, and free tree tours. This is a nice park with a paved path that is popular among walkers/joggers and those walking their dogs. There are also wooded/nature trails to trek as well. I like this park even though it is lacking amenities such as a restroom, basketball courts and is not modernized. Definitely worth a visit.

I really like the playground structures here. There are things for little-littles (toddlers) and older kids. There are nature walks near a creek. There are picnic benches and kid swings. The shade + sunshine combo feels relaxed and welcoming. This is just a great place for a picnic with the kiddos.

This is a beautiful and well grown space alongside a very busy artery that takes commuters to and from downtown Atlanta. Shade trees, benches, a creek-side trail and even a bridge.

Deepdene forms the eastern end of the string of city park known as the Olmsted Linear Parks. It is…read morethe largest and the only one designed as a walking trail woodland. The other five are grassy 'pastoral' parks, and are fine parks in their own right. Along with Lake Claire Park, Deepdene is my 'home' park - I live very near. While Lake Claire hosts my go-to tennis court, Deepdene is where I go to pretend I'm not in the city but rather out hiking in the Georgia forests. It's pretty good at aiding in that deception with lots of very tall trees, interconnecting (if short) dirt paths and a creek running through the axis. Deepdene used to be a bit of an urban twilight zone - before it was developed, except for the traffic noise (which is considerable from Ponce), walking its undeveloped and sketchy trails really was like being in the woodlands. While I did enjoy that experience, I must say that the Olmsted Linear Park Alliance did a good job making Deepdene a little more neighborhood friendly. The paths are thankfully not paved but are easily walk-able without risking ankle turns. The several sturdy bridges are not only pleasing to the eye but carry you over the more hazardous parts of the terrain. And there are a lot of botanical and historical information signs scattered about. I like the development. On the eastern end you'll find a large, flat grassy area (the Meade) suitable for tossing a football or what have you. Kite flying? Does anyone do that anymore? You'll find many benches along the paths where you can stop and just enjoy the setting. No parking except along the streets, but, frankly, this is meant to be a neighborhood park for the local residents. Not that y'all aren't welcome. :)

It's a passive park and Shoal Creek meanders through there and it is quite lovely. It's is a DeKalb County Park but is in City of Decatur which is weird and makes for a not so smooth interaction between the two. Thanks to Friends of Dearborn Park for maintaining the park. They do cleanups and over the past 12 years have removed invasive ivy and privet. City of Decatur built a path in Dearborn Park Greenspace. The Path Foundation which normally does great things wants to build a cement walk way through this hidden oasis in the middle of this area. There has been strong resistance to this so hopefully that won't happen in the nature area that Friends of Dearborn Park developed along with a Midway Woods neighbor who has been quite active since moving here 14 years ago.
