The park covers about 470 acres and can be divided into 4 sections Tennis playground with pavallion softball field 6 athletic fields for rent There is a walking trail that I didn't realize that was there until one day I saw someone walking there...

Decent large park in the area. Activities include youth sports, playground, concessions…read more They have a large walking area around the perimeter which is great while your kids have practice. Ample parking on rocks in front. The only issues are that the fields get flooded when it rains and there is not ample seating for games. Bring your bag chairs for sure!!!

Love our local park with walking trails. It's beautiful for three seasons, Spring, Summer & Fall…read more You get a variety of things to do while walking along the trails. From nature to trees that are continently labeled. It's wonderful when dog walking or riding your bike, with benches and swings placed throughout the park,, you will have plenty to do. The playground for the kids helps theme release that extra energy giving you a peaceful afternoon. Large open fields are ready for a soccer or baseball game. The intermittent bridges also allow for beautiful photo ops for your social. From your dog to your kids the parks of Cherokee county don't disappoint.

Cherokee County's biggest Recreation park at 150 acres is also one of the nicest!…read more It's just loaded with many nice amenities. Football, soccer and lacrosse fields. Running, jogging tracks and walking trails. And a huge playground for the little ones. Plus a newly built recreation center that holds a 200 seat auditorium, a 2 story rock climbing wall, special events, camps, sporting events, instructional classes, and facility rentals. It also offers two full sized basketball courts, officials meeting room, cardio/fitness zone, multiple classrooms and a dance studio. I love going here as there are just so many things to do. Other offerings are Public rest rooms, gazebo with picnics tables and also pet friendly. And you just have to attend their annual Christmas drive through light show.

My husband and I went to the rodeo tonight. The show was great and as much as I was enjoying it,…read moreThe seating was awful. After being kicked about 50 times from people going up and down the bleachers I was done. Not to mention the amount of REALLY young kids walking back and forth. I have 3 kids of my own and I get they get board but when they are up and down the bleachers multiple times in an hour and I am getting kicked in the back (they are young, not babies) i am not happy. We also paid over $50 for our tickets combined. I was so frustrated I just left. You shouldn't have to tell grown people to watch their kids, but apparently you really should. It wasn't necessarily the park or the event that ruined it but the people that let their kids run wild. I never comment on kids but these were not babies, these were 10 plus that were constantly up and down the cheap bleachers and were totally distracting and also blocking the view. They did ask people that were standing in front to sit down at one point but that didn't help. Simple reminders throughout might help. I won't be going back anytime soon.

Great park for joggers, kids (has playgrounds), party events (complete w/picnic tables & city…read morereservations) and great mountain bike trails. The main loop is flat dirt & gravel but the back trails are definitely for the advanced mountain bikers- so you will get a good work out. (The advanced uphill rugged terrain trails are comparable to Blankets Creek mountain bike trails also in Canton- only it's more desolate there so it can feel creepy if you're by yourself- you start to imagine bears and coyotes & snakes.) The good thing is there are always people around so it's safe park. There's tons of parking being its right next to the high school and on weekends there are always soccer teams playing or people going for a walk.

We did the red trail loop that was about 2.5 miles long. Although located off a really noisy highway, as you go inside the park it gets surprisingly quiet and nice. It's next to the Roswell Art Center and parking can get difficult to find at times. And, there are no restrooms, only porta potties. Things I love: * Swings :) * Gorgeous lake with an overlook * Benches all over the trail - Never seen so many in one park * A huge field for picnic and viewing sunset * Little Free Library

I recently had the opportunity to…read morecheck out a small part of this Roswell park to take birthday photos for a close friend, and it was the perfect backdrop (along with this epic pink Thunderbird from 1957)! Beautiful, rolling green hills and lots of trees. Can't wait to see what it looks like once the leaves have begun to change color for Fall. Lots of families were there to visit and enjoy a walk or picnic, and there are walking/hiking trails to explore as well. The entire park consists of about 107 acres, including a dog park which I will definitely have to visit next time with my Husky.

Another cute park area in this charming small town…read more It's a cozy park, perfect for reading, having a coffee with a friend or letting the kids play for awhile. I thought it was clean, shady and was in a decent location near the local neighborhoods. My wife and I hung out here for a bit while we were visiting her family. It's quiet and worth a stop, especially if you have small children or just want to hang out with a coffee and talk.

The trails drift between flowering trees that hold plaques indicating their type. It's an adventurous park where kids can come play at the playground. The open fields are great for picnics, soccer or a fun game of freezbie. Find your adventure at the park and enjoy many of the little surprises it has hidden amongst the trails and trees. This park is also the location for fairs, live music on the outdoor stage, and vendor events. This park has plenty of fun.

You can start with the 1/2 mile oval and completely level walking, jogging or running path. It has multiple covered rest benches and a big open middle for activities like kite flying or frisbee. Then cross the bridge to a few miles of trails surrounded by trees flowers and local wildlife. There is also a canoe launch for access to the Etowah River. The park also has an amphitheater that hosts local bands and other activities. Two brand new playgrounds for the little ones, very clean restrooms and some nice pavilions with picnic tables make this a very nice place for family outings. A 58 acre park that connects to other parks and trails makes this a 5 star place for almost any activity. Well done Canton. Another feather in you cap.

Situated on 15 acres of pristine land it features a playground, 2 picnic pavilion and a duck pond. There is also a stage area for public performance. For more information https://cityofballground.com/parks-department/ The duck pond is especially charming being that the ducks are people friendly. Not sure if they allow you to feed them ....The geese here are quite a character. When I was here with my friend she accidentally said out loud that ducks are cuter than geese. Well one of them took to chasing her for a bit for her slip of the tongue....serves her right.... I've also used their restroom facilities a couple of times before when I was in the area. Very clean and very well maintained..... A great addition to this charming little town that I hope will remain small and quaint. 1277th review 3/18/2018 197th for 2018
