5 /5 Corrie Shubert: This is my new favorite park at the moment. Located right at the edge of downtown Athens, it’s the perfect place to stop for a short walk through the woods or a nice stroll on the greenway by the North Oconee River. Both routes lead to a lovely green space with covered picnic tables and restrooms. I played on a small basketball court on my most recent visit when the river was overflowing from a torrential rainstorm.
Great spot for walking, biking, skating, birdwatching, picnicking, and so on.
