Spink Collins Park — Attraction in Atlanta

We've visited Spink-Collins Park two Sundays in a row now, and we love it! It's a simple and secluded state park with a kids playground, some benches and picnic table, and many different walking trails. There's also a mile loop with stationary exercise machines. There are no bathroom, dog poop bags, or shelters, so potty before you visit and bring your own dog bags.

On both of our visits, we met maybe a handful or less people. The park is at the end of a dead end of a small neighborhood street. The houses are quite nice and make the park seem like a special place where neighbors meet.

We've taken our hound dog with us both times. We start out with having him on leash, but once we're further away from civilation in the woods, we've been able to let him off leash without worrying about him disturbing anyone.

This is a small but nice park. The trails are gentle as you wander through, with small wooden bridges throughout the park. There a playground for children at the entrance, and scattered throughout are some workout pieces. There's almost no parking, just a little gravel patch at the end of the road. At first I thought I was in the wrong place, but after driving around that's the only...

Gorgeous! Not the most kept up, by appearances, but really cool ruins and well-set walking trails. If you take your dog, be prepared to carry your poop bags for a distance - the only trash cans are right at the entrance. Beautiful walk, and open until 11 PM,...
