This park is hard to rate honestly, when there are so many beautiful parks through the state of Georgia.
Maddox Road Park is a small park, located right next to Mt. Zion Blvd in Clayton County, Georgia and it is about 1 mile away from the on/off ramp at I-75.
The park is small, but has a decide amount of of land enough to play soccer with some friends, they do have a soccer goal and two basketball nets, which rarely ever have a nets, due to kids who sadly, keep stealing them.
Just recently they built a new playground, so I included some pictures in my review.
The reason why I am rating this park two stars, is due to safety concerns. I do not want to give it one star, seeing it is not the fault of the park. During the summer of last year while metal detecting I discovered about 7-8 bullets with my metal detector scattered around near the basketball court. Luckily, if someone is shot while visiting this park, right next door is the Clayton County Fire Department, literally, it is RIGHT next door... so Fire/EMS will be there in a jiffy, and no, I am not joking... I wish I was...
Once again, it is not the fault of the park, it did nothing wrong, just don't visit the park when you see a lot of young gang banger's, and you should be just fine. In the summer a lot of people use the park for soccer games, which is great, though at those times it is probably best not to visit.
If you live near by, the park is decent. However, as I did say, due to this being Clayton County, where crime is high, just always keep a watch out and be careful.
Those who live near by and want to visit a really nice park, one that I highly recommend and that is within 10 miles is Reynolds Nature Preserve, it is near the Morrow, Walmart. Located at: 5665 Reynolds Road
Morrow, GA 30260
