We came here and stood in line shortly before 1pm and were ushered out 1 hr later due to thunder. It was enough of a taste to enjoy all the areas of the park, which had a lazy floating track, a water slide for kids 48" or taller, and a couple of other wading areas. Perfect for our kiddo. The chlorination was pretty strong which we showered off when we got home. I wish we could have gotten it off our skin earlier. Glad we had a chance to check this place out. Entry fee is $9 per adult. You must have all your belongings with you as there are no re-entries or refunds.

It was so hot that we had to sit in our car and run the air for that hour. Then we get charged full price even though we were only gonna have 1 hr and 15 minutes to swim!!! Due to the long line we didnt get in until 5:45pm. They closed it at 7pm even though the sign said 7:30pm. We will have to try one closer to us. Hopefully the experience will be better.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised during our 4th of July visit to Spivey Splash Water Park. When we…read morearrived around 11:30 a.m., the line was long, so long we almost turned around and went home. Thankfully, it moved quickly, and we were inside before we knew it. Now, we weren't able to find anywhere to sit, that was probably the toughest part. But we lucked out and grabbed a lone bench tucked off to the side, and honestly, it worked out fine. There were a lot of people there (holiday crowd, of course), but the weather was perfect, the energy was fun, and we ended up having a really great time.

I'm happy I was able to bring my godbabies here during their visit to ATL because they had such amazing time. I was a big kid today and could be there all day if time permits. Security and life guards were everywhere, which is greatly appreciated. The water park is inexpensive and a great spot to get the kiddos out of the house. You aren't allowed to bring in outside food. Locker rental is for $5. The entry was $20. I didn't see a towel rental area, but we did bring our own. I definitely see myself returning for another splash day.

Where do you go when the Georgia sun beats down and there's no relief in sight? The pool, that's…read morewhere. This city has a good network of public pools, and some are better than others. This one is nestled in the east side of Piedmont park, accessible by a short walk through some lower traffic entrances. If there is space, park in the neighborhood bisected by Park Drive NE. You can walk through the gate, curve around the lake, and you're there. The pool overlooks the lake, a prime location indeed. Piedmont has a similar relationship to Atlanta that say Central park has to NYC. It's a large, grassy space that everyone loves, and you can see the city looming in the background. The entrance to the pool itself reflects demand; on our afternoon visit, we had to wait a bit for other visitors to leave - they have a hard cap on the crowd size. At 11:00 on a Saturday, they were charging non-members a sweet five bucks. Anyway, the pool is really, really nice. The layout is such that you can do adult things if you like (laps, whatever), or you can entertain your kids if you need to do that. The child friendly features are abundant, including a splashpad and a lazy river. Mine really dig all of that stuff. Shady areas are abundant and you can chill on a nearby grassy area with your blanket or whatever. There is no diving board (no deep end either), but what public pool has one of those anymore? Lockers are abundant and things are generally clean. What's not to like? Also, shout out to Sean's, a very capable snack bar.

There is a bridge that crosses over to the back area inside the park that is EXTREMELY hot and will burn your feet. Most people are barefoot and this was not expected.

There are many splendid descriptions here of this entire establishment. This review covers the…read moreindoor aquatic center. WG Aquatic is best of the ATL aquatic center options we've experienced through the past decade. Two pool areas, including competition swim/dive areas, allow for team competitions and practices. Space abounds for personal workouts and lessons as well. While you're here for water sport, take a deep breath (above water) and notice the fresh air! WG Aquatic has figured out we mostly prefer oxygen to chlorine, and their fresh air system (not the official name) works. Spacious shower/changing rooms and roomy pool decks allow you some elbow room, and the upper-deck stands give spectators a great vantage point to see their favorite swimmer shave a second off that PR. The secondary pool area is a little warmer and gives space for personal workouts while the main lanes are hosting team practices. And regardless you'll have year-round swim options here. If we didn't live in the hinterlands across the city, we'd enjoy frequenting for water adventures.

There are two components to this facility, as the name suggests - the park and the aquatic center…read more As for the park side of things, I wouldn't say this is one of the county's more scenic parks. There are several playing fields for team sports. There is also a quarter mile track that encompasses one of the fields. Our most recent visit was in January, a cooler winter day. One field had a couple of guys playing soccer. Another field had a guy setting up for what looked like drills of some sort. My family and I enjoyed a stroll around the track to just get outside and move a bit. One side of the track borders the parking lot; the other borders an industrial facility of some sort. Again, not particularly scenic, but if you need a track for exercise, it certainly gets the job done! The aquatic facility is pretty impressive. We have not used it, but I have received a tour of the facility. My tour did not include the changing rooms and showers. The indoor pools looked sizeable and were not too crowded on the day of my visit. But for me, the most impressive area was the outdoor swimming area. Lots of slides and fountains and fun. Looks like a great place for a day of leisure and play. We will definitely be back to enjoy one day in the summer!

Six Flags over Georgia was our regional theme park growing up! It was really a special occasion…read more(like winning our softball All Stars tournament, which we never did) that brought us to Six Flags! I still recall the "Great American Scream Machine," which opened in 1973 as the largest roller coaster in the world at that time and of course, was the anchor attraction at Six Flags over Georgia!! The Screen Machine of 105 feet (32 m) tall and reached speeds of 57 miles per hour - it really was a scary wooden roller coaster to ride! I am not a thrill seeker and not a fan of theme parks in general, making Six Flags, for me, not really all that fun. My long time best friend is a thrill seeker, and, because she worked at an ABC affiliate in promotions in Birmingham was able to score free passes for us to go to Six Flags over Georgia several times, and we could bypass the lines! We could knock out all the fun roller coasters and other rides in no time at all! The "Riddler Mindbender" steel flying roller coaster was another roller coaster we liked to ride. Thanks Six Flags Over Georgia for providing hours of fun for so many over so many years!!!!!!
