Lake Claire Park

Play & Recreation Spaces

Nestled in the heart of Atlanta, Lake Claire Park features a modern playground that's clearly well-loved and maintained. If you're bringing little ones, you'll appreciate the covered slides that are thoughtfully designed with toddlers in mind - even 2-3 year olds can safely join in the fun. The spacious open field is meant for impromptu frisbee games, picnics, or letting your four-legged friend burn off some energy with a game of fetch.

There's also a tennis court for those looking to practice their serve. Just a heads up: despite what you might have heard, pickleball is no longer allowed here (there are signs posted to remind everyone).

Natural Setting

Spread across 5.7 acres, this green oasis functions as the neighborhood's backyard. Mature trees create welcome patches of shade around the park, making even summer visits bearable when Atlanta's heat is in full force.

The thoughtful layout really shines near the playground, where you'll discover three large covered picnic tables under colorful shade sails - well-suited for birthday parties or simply taking a snack break. Local volunteers help maintain this family-friendly space.

Getting There & Amenities

Be prepared to park on surrounding residential streets, as the park doesn't have its own lot. During popular times, you might need to circle around a bit to find a spot. Also worth noting: there aren't any restrooms or water fountains here, so plan accordingly.

If you're staying nearby or live in the area, the park's location in a walkable neighborhood makes it an easy destination to reach on foot.

Community Spirit

Throughout the year, the park hosts outdoor movie nights in summer, a Halloween parade in fall, and a holiday potluck in winter. Many local families have watched their children grow up climbing these playground structures.
