This is a really nice smaller park with plenty of different things for kids to do. It was clean other than a few pieces of garbage on the ground.

Leisure Services is trying to Displace the youth football program at Lay Park after 30yrs so the college students can have unlimited access. Lay Park is in walking distance for many kids. The Southeast Park is not. Just Sad the community’s kids are sacrificed for UGA students SHAME ON YOU ACC Leisure Services

A rare, shaded park that is much appreciated in this Georgia weather. Pictures show at 11:30am the big kids part of the playground is very much shaded while the little kids part is toasting in the sun. Not crowded at all.

My kids have a lot of fun here. We've been to several free events through ACC leisure services, including tae kwon do classes, St. Patrick's Day crafts and stories, back to school bouncy house and backpack giveaway, and more. The building is kept in good shape inside, clean bathrooms, the playground is not totally fenced in and it's by a road, so that is always scary, but my kids like the play structure. It has a few swings. The downside is that it can be hard to find parking sometimes. I think it has a shared parking lot, and all the spaces by the playground will be taken up by people who aren't using it. Sometimes people sitting in their car smoking, which sucks. The ground around the playground is uneven, so it's a bit of a fight to get a stroller in the play area. Not usually any kids on this playground, which is good or bad depending on what you're looking for. If you found this review helpful, please give it a thumbs up! Thanks!
