Lenox Park

The snowmageddon in Atlanta kept us holed up in our house for almost all of this week. We kept busy most of the time working from home, but after 3 days indoors, we needed to stretch our legs a little. Cory and I walk a lot around our neighborhood and Brookhaven, and a few months ago we "found" a great little pocket park: Lenox Park. Located in between North Druid and Roxboro Road off of Lenox Park Boulevard, its about 1+ mile for us to get there.  So to get some exercise this week, we took an icy hike over there.

Sandwiched between the office buildings, apartment complexes, and residential neighborhoods, Lenox Park boasts over 22 acres of green space including 2 miles of running/walking trails with a creek feeding a decent sized lake (See Park Map). While we didn't see much green this time around, there is plenty of grassy areas for games or picnics and benches to relax on.  

We enjoyed our walk through the park- it's like our own little gem in the middle of the city.  We've always seen people around running, walking, and (now) sledding, but for the most part it's pretty quiet. All the park is really missing is a nice dog park. If you're visiting from further away, I'm not really sure where you would park as we have always just walked there.  The park is owned and maintained privately (not a City or County Park) by the Lenox Park Homeowner's Association. 

Make sure you go check it out!  We will definitely be around here more in the Spring and Summer when it's a little more green out.
