About the Location
History and Location
Walker Park is nestled in the Southeast corner of the Edgewood community in Atlanta, Georgia. The park sits on approximately 8 acres of what was once a Civil War battleground, adding historical significance to this green space.
Recreational Facilities
A large open green space provides ample room for casual sports and picnicking. A paved pathway encircles this area, offering a convenient route for walking or jogging.
The park features an outdoor inline hockey rink, converted from a former tennis court, adding a unique recreational option for visitors.
Playground
Families with children can enjoy a playground equipped with multiple slides, climbing structures, a teeter-totter, and swings. The playground's surface is covered with wood chips, though it lacks shade cover.
Fitness Area
Fitness enthusiasts can take advantage of the outdoor fitness equipment, which includes a horizontal ladder, pull-up bar, and leg raise station.
Dog Park
Walker Park includes a dog park divided into two off-leash enclosures - one for small dogs (under 30 lbs) and another for larger breeds. The dog park features a grass surface and is bordered by trees that provide some shade.
Amenities and Access
Basic facilities such as a porta-potty and water fountain are available near the playground area. There is no designated parking lot, so visitors typically rely on neighborhood street parking.
