Abernathy Greenway Park North

If you haven’t taken your kids to this Sandy Springs spot yet, you’re missing out. The playable art sculptures are the real draw here — they’re actually climbable, which sounds weird until you see how obsessed kids get with them. The layout is spread out and linear, so it never feels packed even on a busy weekend, and the whole thing is enclosed which is a huge relief if you’ve got a runner. Slides, swings, and a climbing structure cover the basics, but the wooded trail access gives older kids (the 5-10 crowd especially) room to actually burn some energy. Restrooms and parking on site, so no scrambling.
