One of the lovelier spots in Macon, this large squarish-shaped park is great for a fabulous view of the city. Surrounded by beautiful homes including the Johnston-Felton Hay House, the park is a great place to picnic. There are outdoor concerts here, permanent art installations and a number of memorials to past military and a famous politician.

One special feature is the slide which is probably really nice some times but today was a little filled with trash. And no, this isn't the cardboard pieces that help you have an enjoyable ride. You do need something to reduce the friction or it's not much of a "slide" after the trash is gone.

There are some picnic tables and grills. It's very nice. Do be aware of the "residentially challenged" who didn't bother me during the daytime. There is street parking all around.
