Phoenix II Park

Location and Overview

Situated in Atlanta's Summerhill neighborhood, Phoenix II Park is a 7-acre green oasis that offers a welcome break from city life. This public recreational area offers both community spaces and peaceful areas, with clean grounds and well-maintained facilities.

Sports and Recreation

Phoenix II offers several options for physical activity. The tennis courts are ready for your next match, while the basketball courts feature some pretty cool artistic murals that add local flavor to your game. There's also a baseball field where impromptu games regularly break out on sunny afternoons. Need to work on your fitness? The park's outdoor exercise equipment lets you get your reps in while enjoying fresh air.

Wrapping around the park is a smooth, well-maintained walking/running track that's become something of a gathering spot for neighborhood joggers and power-walkers alike.

Relaxation and Gathering Spaces

Not every park visit needs to be about breaking a sweat. Phoenix II features two pavilions complete with picnic tables and grills - fantastic for everything from family cookouts to casual lunches. The pavilions tend to fill up on weekends, so arriving early isn't a bad idea if you're planning an event.

The park's natural grass fields are surprisingly lush for an urban park, offering plenty of space for weekend soccer games, yoga sessions, or just sprawling out with a good book. Massive oak trees dot the landscape, creating generous pockets of shade around the grounds.

Playground and Family Areas

The shaded playground area is a hit with families, featuring multiple slides, climbing structures, and swings that keep the little ones entertained. There's something charmingly nostalgic about the playground's classic design that appeals to both kids and the young at heart.

Parents can keep an eye on the action from comfortable benches placed strategically in shaded areas around the playground - a thoughtful touch that makes family outings more relaxing.

Facilities and Accessibility

Getting to and around Phoenix II is straightforward. The parking lot offers about 10 spaces including handicap-accessible spots, but you'll also find plenty of street parking surrounding the park if the lot is full.

One thing to note: the park doesn't have permanent restrooms, but portable toilets are available near the track area. The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 11PM, so whether you're an early bird looking for a sunrise jog or someone who enjoys an evening stroll, the gates are open for you.
