Memorial Park - Athens (GA)

5 /5 William Quintero: Small but such a great place to walk, you can see a lot of turtles geese, fish and more

5 /5 Angelee J: This is my favorite park in the area. It’s in a neighborhood and has quite a bit of wooded area for a city park. There’s a zoo nearby for animals that can’t be released into the wild. There’s a pool and basketball court. Lots of turtles reside in the lake. It’s a bonus when you spot the Great Blue Heron. The walk around the walk is less than a 1000 steps. The playground is nice and clean. They have restrooms nearby. There are quite a few pavilions that you can rent out for parties and birthdays. This is family friendly park. The dog park is nice but I had to leave the last couple of times because of problematic dogs. I’m so glad this is available right in the middle of Athens!!!

5 /5 Ashley McCree-Key: It was my first time going to this park and have to say it was pretty nice it wasnt crowded it was clean. I didnt get to explore the entire park but we did go to the zoo area and I would highly recommend it. Especially if you want to get the kids out of the house and youre on a tight budget.

5 /5 Eve D.: A very beautiful park. There is a walking trail that is paved. It goes around the entire lake. We came at the end of summer and there were 30+ turtles we saw. There are a few covered pavilions and picnic tables around. The dog park available. Right next to bear hollow zoo and a playground. Has picnic shelters that are covered.

5 /5 Phillips Karen: Memorial Park is mostly a lake with a sidewalk around it. You will see ducks and turtles there. There is a dog park, playground (closed during covid 19), Bear Hollow zoo, and Birchmore Trail ( to the right of the zoo entrance). Doing all of these things kept my kids busy for a morning. We especially love the zoo and trail.
