Confirmed from Silver Comet Linear 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.
Public park with a playground, picnic tables, and outdoor gym equipment, plus basketball and skateboarding areas.

Silver Comet Linear Park I passed this park after a showing and had to turn around. I'm so happy that I did. It has a trail for bike riding, walking your dog, with the kids, family or taking pictures of nature and it was clean. A nice playground for the children.
Very nice trail. Beautiful views and a lot of resting areas. My only issue was coming across piles of dog poop along the paved path. This is an issue that probably needs to be addressed by the county and regulated a little more closely.
This is such a beautiful park it's definitely one of the prettiest parks in Atlanta you must check it there's so much to do there. They have a pool complex with a removable roof, public golf course, horseback riding, tennis, pickleball, and racquet ball courts, baseball fields, football fields, concessions stands,…
