Since then, we've returned with our kid since he likes the playground and the area is just lovely to look at. Like many parks, there are trees and flowers (and the aforementioned playground). We've also seen people walking the trails and have yet to do that. But being about 15 minutes away from homebase, we will try them out soon. The pond with the fountain is really photogenic, in addition to the covered bridge and the open meadows. On the day we arrived for our photo session, it was a really warm autumn afternoon but I had the foresight to have our family sweat through our get-up so that we could use our photos for our Christmas cards. Looking through them now, I am amazed that they were all taken at this park because we got photos with very different backgrounds. We saw other people getting photos taken there too, so if you plan to do it, make sure to be patient because everyone wants to pose and stand in front of the pretty parts. Maybe you can find spots not as popular because honestly, the entire park is a looker.

What a gem in the middle of Peachtree Corners!…read more Lately, our family has been spending more time outside and seeking out spots that are not packed full of people. I am so grateful that we found Simpsonwood Park, a wonderful space to enjoy nature close to home. The first few times we visited Simpsonwood, we parked ourselves in the large grassy area for picnics. We found a shady spot near the edge of the woods. We saw several families playing frisbee and other sports, but there was plenty of space for all of us. We really started having fun once we hiked the trail around the park. We walked a path of about two and a half miles. We took our time and looked around - probably took us about an hour. At times, the trail was a touch unclear, and I referenced the All Trails app to help make sure we were on course. There is a stream, lots of trees, wildlife, and the river. We saw lots of deer throughout the hike and made a point to keep our distance. The hike was relatively mild, but was narrow in some places, with definite uneven footing throughout. This hike definitely scratched the itch to be in the woods without driving to North Georgia. Look for "minis" while you hike (see pics)! Please note that every time we have visited, we have seen numerous dogs off leash. It is my understanding that it is not an off leash park, but we ran into many dogs that were not leashed. One even joined our picnic one day, minutes before an owner appeared. So if you do not wish to be in the presence of dogs or if you have dogs that are offended by the presence of other dogs, this may not be the spot. All of our encounters have been with friendly dogs. We have never had trouble finding a parking space, but I wouldn't say spaces are unlimited. There are park restrooms available near the parking lot. This park is a great opportunity to spend some time soaking up sunshine and stretching one's legs. Enjoy!

We ended up hiking about 6 miles in nice shaded area on the trails. Some rocks and roots, so you must be careful. Relatively flat with a few small hills. The big downside is there are no trail markers or signs, so having a person in your group that is familiar with the area is necessary. We had two people that knew the trails, so zero markings was not a problem for us. Great outdoor area. Currently (4/23) there is construction of new water treatment plant along the river. Not many people here, so is sort of a hidden gem. Every one in our group enjoyed the hike. Lots of free parking. Restrooms available, but they were so-so inside. Definitely worth a stop. Also CRNRA Jones Bridge unit is across the river for additional hiking trails and is very well marked for easier navigation.

The park itself had several playgrounds and I loved they were padded. The kids had a blast on slides, swings and running around in the wide open space. The bathrooms were clean which always makes things even better. The kids had a blast playing with all the other kids and this is definitely a playground I'd come back to visit.

The layout is fun and the park itself is beautiful, especially in the winter when the leaves are thin and you can actually see the baskets through the trees. That said, the course could really benefit from clearer signage. Several pads weren't well marked, and we even had to skip a hole because we couldn't figure out where it started or ended. Since we only had time to play about half the course, we found ourselves spending more minutes navigating than throwing. I can't imagine how tough it must be in the summer when everything is fully leafed out -- it's probably like searching for a needle in a haystack. Still, it's a solid course in a great park, and with better markings it could easily be a five‑star experience.
