Memorial Park,

293 Gran Ellen Dr, Athens, GA 30606, United States

"It was my first time going to this park and have to say it was pretty nice it wasn't crowded it was clean. I didn't 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 you're on a tight budget."

"I love memorial park. It has a nice walking track, a play ground area for kids, and two shelters for gatherings. They are currently doing construction, and creating a dog park."

"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!!!"

"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 is closed until spring 2023."

"Really beautiful. I so love visting a nice lake park. Wished I lived closer, once my teenager graduates high school. The Oshun in me will move closer to a lake park. I could sit here all day meditating by the water, feeling and connecting with the water spirits. The children loved it ❤"
