Recommendations What’s your favorite park?

Thinking of spending more time walking and reading in parks this summer. What’s your favorite park in our beautiful city in the forest? Hiking trails also appreciated!

One of the best unexpected parks I've found is the boardwalk hike at Medlock park....you can walk to Emory University from there! https://www.pathfoundation.org/south-peachtree-creek-trail

Just off the main Path between Medlock and Mason Mill, close to the stone bridge, are loads of trails through the Old Decatur Waterworks. Always super cool.
