Recently I visited Island Ford Park for the first time. If you are looking for a peaceful hike with scenic views of the Chattahoochee River then look no further. On Thursday I hiked the two miles of trails that meander through the hardwood forest and along the river. I got a real sense of serenity just watching the geese while sitting on a bench located on a rock outcrop that overlooks the river. During my hike I also saw turtles, encountered two deer, and crossed a couple of wooden bridges. Really enjoyed my time here. Close into the city but you feel like you are miles from civilization. Trails are Dog friendly (must be on a leash); Ample parking ($5.00 daily fee). Open daily sunrise to sunset.

Beautiful views of the Chattahoochee river. There are 2 different areas. The first spot you come to has the great views with swinging seats to relax and watch the water. Has a paved walkway. There is a great playground and a pavilion for picnics. There are restrooms. There is a trail and the trail head is to the left of the restroom. The problem was we had no idea how long the trail was. The map said it had 3 overlooks. We started out and got to what might have been an overlook but we weren't sure. We turned around because trail was really muddy after a big rain. It was a nice walk in the woods. The parking lot is not that big so I am guessing it would be hard to get in during the summer. Further down the road on Georgia Power property is access to the river and a dog park. Another small parking area.

The Museum is tucked in the back of a small shopping center on a busy street, Roswell Road. It offers a large number of photographs and commentary from her birth in Germany, to her move to Amsterdam and ultimate fate near the end of the War. Her family was on the very last train from Amsterdam to the camps before the War ended in Holland.

My grandchildren absolutely LOVE the unique play structures in this park! All of the pieces were commissioned by hospitals and private companies and constructed by different artists. The 'playground' is between the paved walkway and is a safe distance from the fence that is next to the street. There are benches with trees and flowers along the walkway and the surfaces under the play structures are a soft and fast-draining material. The area is kept clean and the grounds maintained by volunteers. Admission is FREE. Completely worth an hour or two for children with a LOT of energy!

Peaceful spot in a nice neighborhood. There is about a mile trail that wanders through the woods. It is well maintained and has rock over the dirt so it was ok after a rain. Not muddy. Take the time to read the sign about the history of the land. The current house is built in the spot of the original 1820 homestead. It us used for events probably not during COVID though. Restrooms available on lower level of house. We were looking for a different spot for a short walk and this worked out well. It is a preserve so there are no ball fields or playgrounds.
