Only word-of-mouth (from a fellow Yelper, naturally) let us in on the secret. There isn't any signage on Mason Mill Road, so turn onto Mason Woods Road and then make a right into the park. You can park either in the small lot straight ahead or turn right and park down a hill. W.D. Thomson Park has some tennis courts, a spot for shooting hoops, a baseball field of sorts, a playground, a stream, woodsy walking trails, and a covered picnic area that you can reserve. No bathrooms though. And the water fountains weren't working when we were there. But other than that, a fantastic find!

My one year old also gave it 4 out of 4 paws since there were still plenty of things for her to jump on. Very peaceful area, but not a lot of parking available. It was a 4 out of 5 rating for me since there were no trail markers, it was hard to determine which route one was walking on. Also, it's clear one side of the trail is walked on more often than the other due to the creative trail walking that had to be crossed in order to walk a true loop trail.

It has an odd set up and forms a cross shape with the center being at the Carter Center. The park exists because of a proposed freeway that was never constructed. It was hard for me to keep up with where the park ends and begins. The park has a lot of public art along its trail. There are also history placards with information that chronicles specific periods of area history. The park connects seven of the city's most historic neighborhoods that include Candler Park, Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, Poncey-Highland, Virginia Highland, Druid Hills, and Lake Claire. Little Five Points. There are many places to catch the trail. I parked at the Carter Center and picked the trail up from there. I do not see this as a traditional park, but more of an eight mile trail consisting of gently curving paths for walking, jogging, and bicycling. With that being said, I still like it, especially its concept. The art and history you see throughout the park is very nice. There is also a few pockets of green space throughout the park where I saw people have picnics and others palying with their dogs. The park is fittingly connects the Carter Center and MLK Park. The park feeds into the Eastside of the Atlanta Beltline and it is hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. This is a nice park that connects you to many other historical attractions. Be prepared to walk and the park does not have a lot of shade, so wear a hat and bring some water. You can make a day of walking the trail and visiting attractions such as MLK Park, the Carter Center, and the Beltline (which has many attractions itself). I highly recommend checking this park out to learn a bit of the city's hoistory.

I made the suggestion to walk the trail instead of just walking around the neighborhood. Best decision ever! We started the trail at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area at Paces Mills. The trail length is 3.8 miles and offers a great work out. The terrain varies from flat to slightly inclined. In addition to getting that heart rate up you get to experience what feels like the perfect place to unwind and unplug. It's the sounds and sights for me! The waves created in the Chattahoochee river, the sounds of birds chirping, the sight of plush tees, and bridges. It truly is a natural escape from a busy suburban lifestyle. A few things to note: 1. You can access this trail from two different parking areas. The lot on Interstate North Parkway is free of charge. However, it is a small lot. The larger Lot at Paces Mill is $5.00 per day. You can make the payment via an app. 2. this is a multi- use trail. As such, you can find people doing a leisure walk, jogging, biking, skating etc. motorized items are not permitted on the trail. 3. if you don't own a bike, there are rentals available. The company that is located at this trail is called Movatics. You can find them in your App Store to get started with your rental. The advertisement notes that it is free for your first hour and $3.00 per hour after that. 4. The park is open from dusk to dawn just like most trails and parks. I highly recommend stopping by this trail, it will not disappoint!

You can access the lot from either direction on Hwy 41. You first need to pay the $5 parking fee to recreation.gov. The instructions are fairly easy to follow; the whole transaction is done via smartphone. It probably took 5 minutes or less. The paved trail heads east along the river and crosses under I-75 before turning north. The trail is well shaded for much of the way, though it gets sunny as it ascends a significant hill just before the 1-mile mark. That was about as far as we went on our initial visit, though the trail kept going for, I think, at least another mile. There are nice views of the creek as well as (early) of the river. When we went, there were a fair number of others walking or running, so it never seemed too isolated.
