IMG_3615I have to be honest, when I first got here I had my doubts.IMG_3614This was part of the beginning view. Hmm, I am not sure how great this is going to be, but boy was I wrong! IMG_3622Happy to get going.IMG_3623It is a spectacular trail in the middle of the city. IMG_3626It actually turns into a real trail. With a cool bridge.IMG_3630Right in the middle of it. Then it ends here.IMG_3638So, you have to go back.IMG_3639This was one of my favorite places I have found yet. IMG_3633Have you been here?

A fall Saturday in North Georgia means football and festivals! IMG_3601There is a beautiful park in Historic Norcross. IMG_3600Parking was crazy, but I was so lucky to find a place right by the park.IMG_3603The huge pink dress was really beautiful.

IMG_3607The park was stunning. Then off to the Arts Festival, up to the top of the steps.IMG_3609About two hours into it, it starts pouring down rain. I ran to the Rick Case Automotive tentIMG_3613These are a few of their cars and they were super nice!

Tanyard Creek Park (another great walking park)

6 Comments

Tanyard Creek Park is off of Collier Road and in 2010 they completed the Northside Trail on the BeltLine.

Parts of the Civil War were also fought here. IMG_3373There are a lot of historical markers here. When I got my 1st dog, I used to bring her here, but it didn’t have the BeltLine back then. It is a beautiful park though.IMG_3375That is Collier Road, you go underneath and there is some really cool artwork.IMG_3376Keep going and you walk past Bobby Jones Golf Course.IMG_3383IMG_3386Lots of geese on the course, what a big mess, huh? They are doing a ton of construction at the old Colonial Hills Complex, it was scaring Coop out so we turned around. Staycationers will love this park there are two playground areas.IMG_3409When you get to the end of this portion you are in some town homes.IMG_3413Then to get back you go through a cool covered bridge under a railroad trestle, very cool.IMG_3419Yes that is Bradley Cooper posing! It is a beautiful park, and not too crowded. IMG_3421Have you been here? Is there a park near you I should visit?
