While they do have three football fields and a baseball field for the county youth associations to play on, there is so much more! There is a very nice paved path surrounding the main park area great for running, walking, pushing strollers etc. There is a huge playground and picnic area. There is a large indoor gym with basketball, run track, class rooms and conference rooms. And I believe they also have an adjoining disc golf course (at least did at one time) We come here often. Its quiet, easy to get to without much traffic and close to home

Was very excited when I heard about this event coming to Atlanta. I had always told my wife how I…read morewanted to compete on the show and that I could probably win if I had the chance. So once she heard about it, even though I was initially on the fence about it, she encouraged me to go. The price seemed a bit high, and there's all kinds of fees at the end, including insurance, mailing you the packet, merchandise, parking, etc. I chose to do race day packet pick up since it was the cheapest option. Just be sure to arrive an hour early and you should have plenty of time. The packet includes a t-shirt, bib, and safety pins. Since the event was held in October, it was rainy and cold. The experience could've been better had it been held in September or spring. There was also a foam pit on the second obstacle course where you slide head first, then leap into a foam pit. This turned out to be a disaster for me as you cannot tell how deep the water is because it is covered with foam. I jumped in expecting it to be much deeper and ended up spraining my ankle when I couldn't catch a good footing and rolled it in the water. I couldn't come all this way just to sit out after 5 mins, so I hobbled my way through the rest of the 5k course, occasionally taking a shortcut or two. But it was definitely a disappointment. Also, since there are quite a few obstacles with water courses, you end up running the course soaking wet. And each subsequent course is dirty and covered with mud and wet blades of grass rubbing off of previous contestants. The course was well run with plenty of volunteers. And it was a nice space to hold the race. There was minimal wait time as the lines at each obstacle was not too long. Overall I had a fun time "running" the race with a group of friends. And there was a medical tent at the end of the race where I was able to get my ankle wrapped up. If not for the cold weather and the misstep at the beginning, it would've been a lot more fun.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Honestly, I didn't know it was a 5k when I signed up. I'd…read moreprefer to have less area dedicated to running and more obstacles. October is a bit too late in the year to have this event (to be fair, it was a chilly and rainy day and I had a 1030am start time, but still....). You get wet multiple times during this event and thats not something you want when it's chilly outside. Also, the water was just regular water sitting in these small pools and was pretty disgusting. Also, most of the obstacles were underinflated and weren't quite a fun as they could've been. The WORST part is how they nickel and dime you. You pay for your tickets and then you pay more when you register and then $10 (!!!) to park and then $5/picture if you want any of the pictures they took of you. Oh, and you get automatically signed up for some service that gives you 30 days and free and if you don't pay attention to your emails and cancel this Active Advantage thing you'll get charged $65/month to keep it. SO LAME! On the plus side, I will admit I had some laughs and some fun and enjoyed myself for the most part. But this could've been much better for the $ paid.

I was very pleased to see they have done some renovation from the photos I searched for through their Facebook page. According to the young lady giving us the tour they have added tile flooring to the building as opposed to the previous carpet they had. Parking: Parking is available in front of the building (limited) and down the street as well. They do not have a parking garage or designated parking area for this center. Exterior: The exterior is well maintained by the city of Stockbridge. There is a railroad track directly across the street from the center. Interior: Upon entering the two double doors the floor plan is pretty open. There are two sets of restrooms with approximately 3 stalls per restroom. There is a storage and a janitor closet. Kitchen: They offer a kitchen with the following: Refrigerator, Electric Stove, Food Warmer, Small Ice Maker, and Sink **I will update this review once my event is hosted here**

After closing in 2012 because of structural concerns, former Mayer Kasim Reed rebuilt a new $23.5…read moremillion, 64,000-square-foot Recreation and Aquatic Center in the Old 4th Ward towards the end of 2017. The new facility is sparkling and definitely worth visiting if you haven't seen it yet and becoming a member if you swim work out regularly. We paid about $250 for the family to join for the year and the bonus is that it gives the whole family access to all Atlanta public pools. The building is very open, bright (lots of natural light come in through the glass), and beautifully built. While ATL isn't the Northeast, winter is still somewhat more of a period of hibernation for a lot of people and the opening of this center provides a very nice public option for continuing to be active. It seems like they offer a wide variety of classes and activities for kids. While I can't speak to the basketball gym, workout facilities, and indoor running track on the second floor, the pool is great. It's helped our toddler develop an appreciation for the water and we haven't even tried their infant swim program yet. Some highlights of the pool are that the water is very warm, they have a beach front walk-in, a separate family changing room, a variety of aquatic toys for kids to enjoy, and a few fun sprinkler type poles in the pool. For parents looking to entertain their kids this could be a great drop-in option too at just $5 a visit I believe. My only complaints are 1) We've waited months to get our membership cards and the machine that prints them is always down or unavailable for some reason. This is obviously not such a big deal but 2) As this "undiscovered" gem is no longer so undiscovered, we've seen more and more swimmers come to the pool and it can be difficult to find a free lane to swim in now (especially around peak hours weeknights after work). This may just be what happens as you become a victim of your own success. The pool is huge but it's unfortunate that the way they built it the lanes cannot be expanded or added easily because the free swim section has a giant physical barrier from the lanes part.

It has a large shallow area for kids to play in and a smaller roped off deep end. It also has a water slide! The depth of the water is 3ft 6 in when you land, so not super deep either and great for kids. They just started selling food and drinks too, but you can bring food and drinks with you (no glass). The cons are few but worth mentioning: Very limited parking so you have to find street parking. I'm not sure if you can park in the school lot next door. They do not have a large amount of tables and chairs. Today there is a birthday party now. The tables and chairs are blocked off for the past two hours which sucks and leaves you on the ground. They do not have any vests or kick boards like other locations. There is little to no shade so bring your sunblock!!! I wish we signed up for camp here since the pool is so much better than the Decatur pool. It's like having a pool membership.

There's a beautiful playground right in front of the entrance that looked well maintained. There are also covered tables so you can sit outside and eat or do any other table top activities.

Bathrooms were also well kept. If you live in the neighborhood or need to host an event, I would suggest looking into this location.

They also have volleyball, guitar lessons, and open gym at the basketball court several times a week My class was cancelled due to rain. When I went to pay the $5 drop in fee for the class the receptionist was not aware the class had been cancelled, when no one showed up near the 11am start time, I went back to the desk and the receptionist said the instructor had called and verified the class cancelled in the ten minutes I was there waiting for the class to begin and refunded me the $5. I'm for sure going back since they offer different fitness classes and most of them have a drop in rate of $5-7, some of them even give a discount for seniors citizens. A wonderful business for the neighborhood and great activities for kids.
