Today's hike at Sweetwater exceeded my expectations in every way! The weather was giving spring…read morevibes and the people were out for it ! Initially we parked in the wrong lot but that worked in our favor (where the bait and tackle shop is). There were lots of families out having picnics and fishing. We did a 1-mile loop in the area and were able to see the yurts. NOTED . Beautiful sites to take in before we ventured to the main lots with the visitor's center. Not only are the trails well marked, but there is ample parking across multiple lots. The attendant at the gate entrance was so kind, welcoming and JOYful! We ventured out on the red trail and it was gorgeous. To my surprise, the trail was full today. It seems that Sweetwater is a populated date spot!!! We saw folks of all ages out with picnic baskets, journals, coloring books, bathing suits ... it was AMAZING! We hiked to the end of the red trail and back, venturing off trail to be clear to the River only once. By far, this was one of my favorite hikes and definitely a place I'll revisit to explore some of the other trails.

The playground area also includes picnic pavilions and rest room facilities. Best part about it is the Four baseball fields that are handicap accessible. If you are in the area and want to take a break near the beautiful flower garden (Small area near the entrance) or if you need to take a peaceful walk then stop by this park for a tranquil moment. Of course, it's not so quiet once the kids come out to play ball. I always feel safe here. Dusk to Dawn. Douglas County does a great job driving by frequently to make sure that we are safe. THANKS DCP!

You can walk up some steps and over a bridge (over the creek) and be in the woods with trails. Theres a covered picnic table area next to the playground thats a little elevated that I like to sit. The whole vibe is laid back and cool. Unless its the fourth of July when its super LITTTTT lol. There are other fields and buildings there that I haven't ventured to YET. My lil rescue doggie had his first park experience and it was lots of fun. People get it confused with Powder Springs Linear Park but they are a few miles apart but both dope parks with good amenities

Always a great diverse group of people riding bikes, playing with the kids, and across the parking lot two covered basketball courts are always happening. There's enough open field for a good game of dodge ball and parking is plentiful. I have never seen the concessions open or visited the restrooms but the shaded tables next to both are a good resting spot.

Great park for kids of all ages. Lots of playground equipments, all in new condition. There's a…read moreshaded area under umbrellas for the kids to play and enjoy the outdoors even when the sun is really hot. The park is extremely clean and well taken care of. The silver comet trail is connected to the park so feel free to bring your bikes or just go for a stroll. There's even a bike rack to keep the bikes once you're done riding. There's bathrooms, water fountains and even a concession stand serving cold drinks, ice cream and snacks although it wasn't open when I was there and the hours weren't listed. Overall a really great family park with lots to do

Deer Lick Park offers a place for my fur babies to run freely! I am glad it is here. I like that…read morethey have water available and depending on the day and time, it is likely for them to have a fur friend to play with. The other dog owners are usually very nice and monitor their dogs. I have not had any issues. Sometimes, they have no dog bags available to clean up after your dogs when they relieve themselves, so I tend to bring a few of my own just in case. The dog park is behind the animal shelter near the skate park and not on the side where the recreational center is located. I like that the gates are easy to access but also close together and divided by small dog and large dog areas. If you are alone or if you come when it is less dogs out, the options available make it easier to keep the dogs safe or separated if needed. Deer Lick Park also offers recreational activities. We participated in basketball and it was nice to see this facility in action for group pictures and games. The staff is friendly and responsive and this park offers a nice place for exercise and community engagement. I also remember attending a Zumba party here many years ago. Overall, this is a nice park.

Okay. So I was out driving for a dang on hour before I could locate this park. There are signs…read moredirecting you towards the park but damn-it there is no physical address listed. So I used my GPS to pin point the address from inside the park. First things first. There are NO PETS ALLOWED! Yeah you heard me. Fido can not get out of your vehicle at this location. Also, I should probably mention that if you are coming from Chapel Hill Road end of this street then you will be able to enter the park just fine. If you are coming from, say S. Fulton Parkway, then you will need to go down the road and turn around and come back up to the park. The same as exiting. You can NOT TURN LEFT as you leave this location. When you first enter the park you must travel down a long gravel road at 10 MPH. It may be a mile or two down this road and then you get to the park booth. Over towards the left if where most people are parked. Then to the right of that booth is a directory for persons with boats, persons looking for the Pavilion or those that are wanting to fish from the Fishing pier. I thought this park was absolutely gorgeous! It;s nice quiet and serene. But how in the heck are you suppose to find the park Douglas County? Anyway, I guess that's why it's so nice and quiet. Cause no one can find the damn place! :)

The equipment all appears to have been recently updated (and it seems that part of that update included removing swings). There is also a basketball court with three hoops, at least three picnic tables, two benches, and a few trash cans. The one down side is that there isn't a clear path from the parking lot to the playground so it is not accessible to those with disabilities. It is also not shaded so make sure you bring sunblock in the summertime! Overall, a nice place to bring your kids if you're near downtown Douglasville!
