We rent this place every year and the past few years the grass is never cut. Which makes it hard to play on especially for little ones.

This is a great place to hold a Club event. Our Corvette club holds it annual picnic here. The two larger pavilions have power a permanent charcoal grills. The rental fee is reasonable. There I the usual Georgia Parks entry fee of $5 but the money helps support the park.there is plenty of pace for young people to play and have field games. There is plenty of parking and Restroom facilities.
