We love Abernathy Greenway. It is so beautiful and well-kept. The playground structures are so beautiful but the kids also really like them. They have a small but nice picnic pavilion with bathrooms attached. The park is also conveniently located in Sandy Springs, and it’s often pretty quiet there, which is really nice during Covid-19. Great park!

Abernathy Apartments has been my home for a couple of years now! I can say the time Ive been here have been nothing but a breeze. Specifically the staff that is in the office. If you want a family atmosphere but to be close to the city without hearing the parties at night or trash all around just hit up Grace Abernathy!!!

Beautiful park. Nice art as well as unique playsets. Only one toddler swing, but it wasnt very crowded even on a perfect weekday afternoon.

Only one tree for shade. There are metal playground structures and swings for kids, but who would want to bring their kid out here without any trees for shade, or some of those triangular man-made canopies. This is the south. The south gets hot! Plenty of concrete, plenty of metal benches, and metal playground structures to retain the suns heat. The only time one can see families enjoying this park is when the weather is perfect (as in sunny but quite cool outside). Whoever designed this park wanted to do so for show/curb appeal, with its concrete walking trail, and couple of artsy structures, not for actual use as a park.Go to the Dunwoody Park instead where there are plenty of trees, plenty of seating, plenty of playground (swings, merry-go-round, slides, etc.,) for kids, an area to hang up your hammock, and there is even a piano.

Great, clean park! Play areas for children are still taped up. Park is not very crowded during the week, especially in the morning.

The playgrounds were designed by artists which brings something unique and different to play time. There is something special about seeing kids interact with sculptural slides and jungle gyms. You can see their imaginations being stimulated by the whimsical play structures.

Cant Save parking, yet! Unpaved parking lot, board walks with low overhead concrete bridges. But worth the effort for lengthy out door walks or biking.

Beautiful but a small park. Great for small children.

Great park for walking, playing, swinging, dog watching or walking. Intriguing interactive art playscapes for children to explore. No standard playground equipment here except some wonderfully tall swings. There are some fun secret paths in the landscaping along the back for kids to discover.Hasnt been crowded during Covid, so been able to take turns without violating 6 feet. Good paths for kids little ride on scooters or trikes and such, just have to be mindful about pedestrians. Sandy Springs spent a small fortune on this park and the new sister strip of park across Abernathy. That area is gravel paths and ideal for dog walkers and others who dont want to be crowded by families.The outdoor sitting area under the structure is still usable and fully ventilated, but the bathrooms and water fountain are rightly closed during Covid.

My children absolutely loved this. It’s securely fenced off from the road. The play equipment is beautiful and unique. There’s something for kids of all ages and a beautiful walking path. Plenty of parking and a picnic shelter as well.

A cute, artistic park that was made mainly for the image rather than the the versatility. If you want to take your kids to a good park for them, do to riverside park or Morgan falls.

Fun experience for the kids and myself. A lot of areas for the kids to play and explore and enough options so there is little to no overcrowding.

Park is very close to Abernathy so not as quiet or peaceful as other parks but it is beautiful and the playground is fun for the kids...

Beautiful, beautiful park. Easy to find and easy to get in and out of. There’s plenty of parking. It’s located in a great area and I feel safe anytime I visit. I really enjoy bringing my nephews to this park whenever they’re in town. They absolutely love the jungle gyms. The bathrooms and water fountains are clean and well attended. The landscapers do a great job maintaining the scenery. You’ll have a great time at Abernathy Greenway!

Brought my 1-year old here to play. To be honest, when we first arrived I was a little underwhelmed. Theres a few structures for kids to climb and play on, but with my daughter being so small, I didnt think thered be much for her to do. She had a great time walking around and touching the glass-mosaic wall. I took her down a couple of the slides, and she loved the swings. Took off one star because theres only a single bucket-swing.

Cute little area. I wouldn’t especially come out of my way to go here, but since it’s on the way to/from school I take my nanny kids there sometimes. The slide is a big hit. Would be better if it were shaded!

Picturesque. Definitely has a great view, very nice little spot for outdoors photography. A very popular spot on weekends. Can be a quiet spot if you show up at the right time. If youve got kids with energy, this is a great run-around spot for kids to burn off excess energy. If you want to watch yoga, some groups and individuals come out to stretch out. Its located in a very nice area with very nice people.

Review №64

It was an interesting visit, the Greenway reminded me of the Addams Familys yard that I would see in the movies and TV. I loved it. I highly recommend walking through it at night and in the fog. The weirdly shaped playground equipment and statues would make great props for a Halloween trail. Best Greenway Ive been on yet in the metro Atlanta area.

A nice shaded park for the most part. Incredible walking trails to help keep you on track with your workout regimen. Perfect for kids of all ages and it also has restrooms with water fountains. Pokemon go heaven with 3 gyms and 5 to 6 pokestops. This is a great area to get back into nature, see great art, and to get in shape.

Great park. Great art works too. Love it. Son loves it. We all love it. Not too big, but enough for him to expend energy and keep him occupied for at least a couple hours.

The concept of a linear park, rather than one more circular, is interesting. Kids love it. There are also several benches to sit on to keep an eye on your kids. Lots of things to do to keep them entertained!

Very nicely maintained park with few activities/ swings for children. Evening time in summers is usually a busy spot.

Kr
Review №75

No shade. Not worth coming with toddlers or young children on a hot, sunny day.I can see how this park would be totally lovely in the evening or in the early morning, before it gets hot. There was just 1 bench with shade. The play structures and swings were almost all too hot for the littles to touch or slide down. I can see how it would be a fun park given the right kind of weather or time of day, but our experience this morning was kind of a killjoy.

Review №76

Love it. Provides a quick 15-30 min getaway for my daughter and me, especially on busy days or just to stop by while driving around doing groceries. Has a linear walkway, swings, kids slides, a big spider thing to climb and swing from and nice pieces of art donated by local communities/businesses. Only probable down-side depending on the time of the day ... not much shade.

Review №82

Nice park, has a lovely and artsy play ground. The only downside is no pavilion at the playground, the pavilion is on the other side of the parking lot so its quite a walk. But all the material for the playground is nice, the metal bars still cool to the touch even under hot sun. Im impressed.

Review №88

This is a beautiful park; I would easily give it 5 stars, but there is NO SHADE on the playground and its scorching hot in the summer. A major design flaw. After about 10-15 minutes your kids will need to head to the shaded pavilion to cool down.

Clever and creative green space. Uncovered, so it gets very hot in the summer. Many of the surfaces are concrete and metal, which are not forgiving. Interesting and inspiring. Landscaping is artistic as well.

Review №95

Nice place to bring children, and do some walking. The only thing I should mention is that in the summer the slide gets extremely hot and the children can get a pretty bad burn so be careful of the very young ones that can’t get down quickly.
