Walker Park — Attraction in Atlanta

Beautiful, quaint park with a walking track that surrounds a huge green space. A tiny dog park on one end that doesn’t have working water for the dogs or enough space to be considered impressive when compared to the size of the park and the under utilized greenspace the track encircles. Playgrounds on one side for kiddos and families with benches and places to sit and enjoy the view. I believe the arena next to the dog park is under construction and is being restored and converted based on my observation of the teenagers working on cleaning it and renovating it one evening when we took our dogs for the first time to check out the park. There is ample parallel street parking at the main entrance, which is very difficult to see at night as it is a small sign and a gap/opening in an iron fence, but no parking whatsoever specifically allocated for the park. The two roads next to it are residential and therefore have parking available, but I don’t know how the residents on these streets feel about their guest parking being used by patrons...

It’s a small park but it has a lot - grass field, basketball courts, dog park, garden, and playground.

However, there is no bathroom besides a very disgusting abandoned portable toilet, and the street parking fills up fast. The field also has a lot of loose sand, which could cause injuries. There is also trash scattered around. The benches next to the field also seems a bit neglected, and the playground also seems like it could do with some maintenance/upgrades. There is also no picnic area.

It’s a decent location to bring your kids or dog. But again, CoA could do better when it comes to maintenance...

Walker is walker... I know the dog park is a decent size and the field is a good size for game play! Also the playground next to one size is a really decent playground for the area!

My biggest complaint here is the city doesn't do a good job at maintaining this work, there are often holes from mud and play and people are paying to rent these fields so it is disappointing to see they aren't being maintained and there is trash around the outskirts.

At this point it's known for its decent location, amenities, etc, we love walker as it is, but it wouldn't hurt for the city to...
