Sorry Ms. Jacksona year ago
Beautiful small pocket park, nestled in the neighborhood. Very serene and a great place to unwind. Nature and wild life to be carefully observed and enjoyed. Do yourself a favor, take a walk, drive, or bike here, and relish in its charm ✨

We love visiting her and walking up to the belting! We especially loved the spiral above the lake! If you are gong for a leisurely stroll or pushing yourself to get exercise, you will be pleased.

No bathrooms no water no accommodating businesses around because Lil Five is crawling with ppl that businesses dont accommodate.... so we all suffer even in a park that's 27 years old.....unless you want to spend at least $8 as a patron to go real quick.... (The park isn't actually close to said businesses so being in a tight will render problems.) Trails for bikes and pedestrians but the bikes ride on the peds side so good luck with safety. Must be very careful here lots of bike traffic and joggers with head phones. Playground is tucked off safely which is a plus Great inclines for leg workouts grassy areas for sky watching and picnics ...dog activity everywhere though so at your own risk. Parking is horrible this basically serves the houses that surround it and no one else and is a thoroughfare for people going to beltline or Stone mountain Trail. Quite noisy not quiet but you can tune it out as you walk away from Moreland... however you get strange stares from residents if they don't welcome your presence in more secluded areas of Freedom Park. Ive felt both welcomed and out of place as I have been chalking in the area more curiosity of what I'm doing than people wanting me to leave but none the less it's much less congenial than other Atlanta parks where ppl are more open to all and be pleasant with strangers. I am volunteering to celebrate the 2025, 27th birthday of Freedom Park with my chalk art and this time in the park has been the longest time to have a real review of the park space Lovely houses good canopy for exercise and plenty of trail for biking and marathon/cross-country training.

This is a very great park for events or a quick lunch. With plenty of concrete walking trails and at least one playground. It's well worth a visit if you live nearby or have an event going on. Pretty great for a walking date as well. But as someone who likes nature it isn't .y favorite park. Though I do love some of the quarry views. I do believe this park is awaiting further development. Only time will tell just how awesome this park will be!
