Jones Farm Park has a flat, paved path that winds around two large ponds. One section running along…read moreone of the ponds is gravel, but it can be avoided. There is always a pretty good sunset, as it reflects off the still water! There are a few pavilion coverings with picnic tables, as well as a few benches around the ponds. I quite often see people fishing. There are a numbers of ducks, so sometimes you have to watch your step to avoid their droppings. There are no bathrooms and the parking lot is pretty small. Although, there is a short pedestrian bridge connecting the path to the parking lot of the shopping center nearby (with Handel's ice cream and Peppered Pig). Also, on the far side of the park (behind the second large pond), the path connects to the sidewalk on Carl T Jones (close to Yogurt Mountain). You can also cross 4 Mile Post at a crosswalk with flashing lights to get to a section of the Aldridge Creek Greenway.

This is a nice park that I have driven by 1000s of times and never really noticed…read more Out during COVID, after a long work day and then afternoon errand day, my best friend and I enjoyed a lightly sprinkling afternoon break under the pavilion at Jones Farm Park. Since it was sprinkling out, there were only a few people out. A man BF knew walking his beautiful pup, Lilly and a man and his son who were fishing. I asked them what they caught and they caught a turtle! I was happy they caught and released the little critter. Or maybe it was big, I didn't get a chance to see it. Tom and Lilly were a delight to talk to - well Lilly didn't talk or bark either. And the pavilion and two ponds were a nice respite from the long day both BF and I had. There were ample garbage cans, nice walking/running paths, maybe (I wasn't sure) a free little library (it was empty making it hard to tell what it was), the pavilion with picnic tables and plenty of seating and lots of geese. Why no 5th star? Tom told us the goose poop was cleaned up recently, but it really was not cleaned all that well under the pavilion. Do check out Jones Farm Park, it is really pretty and peaceful. Looks like a decent spot to fish, too!

Our kids LOVE coming here, but unfortunately so does every other kid in the city . A bonus is the skate park that is adjacent to the playground. A trifecta would be a splash pad, but maybe that's asking too much. The kids would probably never want to leave.

Absolutely GORGEOUS!…read more My friend Hannah took me to this hidden gem of a trail. While just off a main road, it wasn't too busy, only a couple cars in the lot. The trail system is vast with smaller off shoots spurring from the main trail. There are small cave and tunnel passes to explore as well as some mild to average level rock climbing spots. Bring comfy shoes or hiking boots as there are some pretty rugged spots, there are also warnings regarding poison ivy, so prepare for that if you have adverse reactions to it. Dogs are allowed but, must be leashed. I completely bent that rule, she had a leash... I just wasn't holding it. There aren't many trash cans on the trail so please make sure to be courteous to others and pack out what you pack in. This is also a historical battlefield site: The Battle of Days Gap April 30th 1863 Great Place! Big enough for a full day's worth of hiking. Also has trails short enough for a couple hours of relaxing in the woods.
