    Don't know what it is called, but kids hang on it and then it spins.

    Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Massive playground. Used to be playground and tennis court, but expanded and updated playground a few years ago. Great band shell. Lots of shade. Pavilion and bathrooms. Bathrooms can get very hot though in the summer. Farmers market there on Tuesdays. Good amount of parking too, although for one if the Friday night concerts, nowhere near enough.

    Park entrance.

    THE PERFECT CHOICE! This park is an ice cold drink of lemonade on a hot day. We walked over from the Lillian Webb park and were immediately greeted by the shady trees and cool breeze. It was so nice that we took time to sit on one of the bench swings to just relax and take it all in. This park has a great cushioned play area for the kids and unique structures. This equipment appeared to be relatively new and it was very sturdy. Oh yeah, this is the equipment that I would sneak and play on when no one is looking. It was the bomb and immediately brought back fond memories of my days on the playground. This park also has picnic areas with grills and a nice covered pavilion that houses the bathrooms. There are plenty of seated areas to just relax and enjoy the outdoors. I appreciate the trash receptacles that are located throughout the park for visitor's convenience and of course that awesome amphitheater. This park plays host to the summer concert series that occurs every other Friday on the big stage. The next performance will be on Friday, July 18th at 7:30pm and you can check their community calendar for specific details. My hubby and I were able to survey the area to select a convenient parking spot and the ideal viewing area in anticipation of the big event. Now, all we have to do is patiently wait! Uggg! Easier said than done! ***This park gets five stars because I just noticed that the bathrooms are not only clean but...wait for it........AIR CONDITIONED!!!!! Glory to God! .

    This is our favorite park. If you have a little one who loves trains, this place is a big hit!

I read some of the info posted along the paths near the fountains and learned that Roswell actually used to be part of Cobb County. I had no idea and found that really interesting having just moved here to Georgia earlier in the year. They had some other facts about the area and history on that part of the river too. What was great about this park was that it was pretty dead on a weekday morning. A lot of other parks are usually busy at this time, since we are still going thru the pandemic of course. I think we only saw one other person on the trail (with plenty of room to distance) and one other person parked in a car off to the side of the trail. We enjoyed the seclusion. I liked everything about the park - the gazebo and fountain area, the view of the river down the trail, the historical value, etc. Just a nice place to exercise or go to relax. I hope to be back soon.

    Simpsonwood Park is nice hiking area near the Chattahoochee River. There are other activities…read morehere. But can only review the hikes, as that was what a group of 10 of us did. We ended up hiking about 6 miles in nice shaded area on the trails. Some rocks and roots, so you must be careful. Relatively flat with a few small hills. The big downside is there are no trail markers or signs, so having a person in your group that is familiar with the area is necessary. We had two people that knew the trails, so zero markings was not a problem for us. Great outdoor area. Currently (4/23) there is construction of new water treatment plant along the river. Not many people here, so is sort of a hidden gem. Every one in our group enjoyed the hike. Lots of free parking. Restrooms available, but they were so-so inside. Definitely worth a stop. Also CRNRA Jones Bridge unit is across the river for additional hiking trails and is very well marked for easier navigation.

    Great park for nature walks! The trail was not as well-marked as some of the other parks in the…read morearea but that just added to the adventure factor. What I loved most was seeing all of the deer in plain sight. What I loved least was hearing our coonhound barking at all the deer relentlessly. The only complaint is that the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Also, we like to let our dog go for a swim off leash which is not normally an issue. However, off one of these trails, she jumped from a steep embankment and wasn't able to jump back up. This was really our fault for not checking first whether she would be able to get out of the water. Thankfully a few of the passing kayakers stopped to help us. Parts of the trail back up into people's backyards which is also kind of strange, so you don't necessarily feel as though you've been transported to somewhere remote. But all in all it's a fun place to walk and the trail is not too challenging.

    We played the disc golf course at Brook Run Park while our daughter was in a nearby class, and…read moreoverall we had a good time. The layout is fun and the park itself is beautiful, especially in the winter when the leaves are thin and you can actually see the baskets through the trees. That said, the course could really benefit from clearer signage. Several pads weren't well marked, and we even had to skip a hole because we couldn't figure out where it started or ended. Since we only had time to play about half the course, we found ourselves spending more minutes navigating than throwing. I can't imagine how tough it must be in the summer when everything is fully leafed out -- it's probably like searching for a needle in a haystack. Still, it's a solid course in a great park, and with better markings it could easily be a five‑star experience.

I had no idea this was an annual thing and am happy that the city of Dunwoody does this and am definitely looking forward to next year's lights. While there were a ton of people, there was plenty of parking and I appreciated that there was an officer there to keep the flow of cars moving along. The park itself had several playgrounds and I loved they were padded. The kids had a blast on slides, swings and running around in the wide open space. The bathrooms were clean which always makes things even better. The kids had a blast playing with all the other kids and this is definitely a playground I'd come back to visit.
