Confirmed from Freedom 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.
Green space on 200 acres boasting trails, sculptures & a butterfly garden, plus a farmer's market.
What runners say about Freedom Park
“Really nice and well maintained park.”
“Perfect to lay out a picnic blanket with your boo or friends and just melt away into the scenic beauty of this paradise.”
“I love it, Jimmy Carter's presidential library, its peaceful and amazing, it brings peace to your soul.”
Located at a Lively neighborhood and connects to Belt line. So many restaurants, shops around here. Events going on at here year round. Perfect place for people Walking, biking, roller skating, scooter ridding. Everyone was happy here. Such great vibe!
I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was nice and quiet. There were a few people biking or walking on the trail. The trail is nice and there are sculptures along it. There’s plenty of open space to play lawn games or throw a ball/frisbee around.
Located along the railroad tracks next to the Train Depot where Jimmy Carter operated his run for President. Great place to chill out under the shade and enjoy a few cold brews after a nice day touring the city of Plains, Ga
Really nice and well maintained park. A small but fun track to bike/walk/run. Parking can be a challenge to find though there is some street parking.
