Confirmed from First Avenue Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean family-friendly park offering grassy areas, a playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about First Avenue Park
“Clean, neat, well-maintained facility with nice picnic tables and grills this park is a very pleasant little piece of greenery in the middle of Newnan.”
“Such a quiet place to relax and take a walk or a break.”
“Dog friendly place to walk your dogs as well.”
A playground for kids, covered seating areas, walking paths, and pet friendly. We went in the evening before dark. Very peaceful.
Small park, but great for walking and I love sitting in the grass under some of the trees. It has a good amount of green to let kids run and play or to toss a football. Not usually too crowded, but kept clean and people are friendly.
Very clean upscale park in newnan, ga. I love taking my lab here to play , she loves it. They also have covered tables as well as a very nice swing set for children. I have also used their track when I fast walk.
Good place to walk or jog. They have a small playground area for kids. Also lots of picnic tables to sit at. Dog friendly place to walk your dogs as well.

The practical stuff

- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadparking, restrooms, water — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
