I finally made it to Grant Park! I've driven by this park plenty of times and have even attempted…read moreto attend an event or two here, but parking always managed to derail my plans. Well, I finally figured out the secret: GET THERE EARLY! I arrived early for the Vegan Festival, and there was plenty of street parking. There's also parking near the zoo if you don't mind walking over to the festivities. Now that I know the layout and what to expect, I'll definitely be more prepared the next time I come. And I have to say, Grant Park is beautiful! I can see myself coming back even when there isn't an event happening. The Vegan Festival itself was a lot of fun. We checked out different vegan vendors, made bracelets, picked up some hair products, and of course, I had to get some food. I grabbed a vegan platter and a delicious lemonade, and my daughter decided to go her own route and got fish and shrimp. She said it was delicious! There were also some non-vegan food options at the festival. I personally didn't have an issue with it, although I know some people definitely did. One vegan vendor even said, "I'll give you $100 if you eat 10 chicken wings." And I'm like... WHAT?! It was a hot day. There weren't a ton of places to sit, so I would recommend bringing your own folding chair or something comfortable to sit on. The pool was open, the splash pad was open, and the courts were being used, so there was plenty going on beyond the festival. Overall, I had a great time. I enjoyed discovering Grant Park, meeting vendors, doing some crafts, eating good food, and just enjoying the day. I'll definitely be back to the park.

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. :)

They also have community rooms where you could host something like a kid's birthday party or a baby shower. This couldn't be my primary gym for exercise, but it's a nice community option.

The gate off Clifton Road is blocked for cars, so we parked at Hahn Park off Houston Mill and walked in. It has the added advantage that you walk by the ruins of the actual mill and by the suspension pedestrian bridge over South Peachtree Creek. Lullwater itself is beautiful. Very friendly fellow hikers. We made one circuit around the lake and headed back to where we started. Technically you are supposed to have an Emory University if card to hike, but apparently no one has ever been stopped by Emory security. And be careful on the trail from Houston Mill to Lullwater: there's loads of poison ivy on both sides of the trail. Late at night while you're sleeping poison ivy comes a creeping all around. Take a snack and water. Lullwater has no facilities. But it is super well maintained by Emory.

In fact if you're driving Hahn woods is a good place to park as parking is not great anywhere around Lullwater. There is a deck that you can pay to park in at the Emory Clifton campus - that is the closest parking I believe.
