Confirmed from Picnic 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.
Kid-friendly play areas with artificial turf & fencing, plus tree-shaded lawns & views of the lake.
What runners say about Picnic Park
“Keeps it shaded so its not burning hot while keeping it clean and not covered in bird poop.”
“My family and I were only there for the day with a group of other family members, after lunch we found this spot and it's absolutely beautiful.”
“Keeps it shaded so its not burning hot while keeping it clean and not covered in bird poop.”
“Nice, clean, quiet park on the banks of Lake Peachtree with some great views”
“The playground is fenced-in and is geared towards children of all abilities to play.”
Nice place to walk or bike ride. This place has nice lakes in the area and a clean restroom. The park has a playground area for kid's.
This is a nice size playground with things for a varying age of kids. It's well taken care of. It is close enough to the lake to get a great view and wander over if you want, but far enough away that you don't have to worry about your kids running over in the minute you look away.
This is a great park with plenty of space to run around. The lake is beautiful and the playground is fun for my five year old. We come here often. It’s convenient being right next to the library as well!
