Peachtree DeKalb Airport Playground
Chamblee
 Not many playgrounds allow you to experience the
excitement of planes and helicopters. At Peachtree
DeKalb Airport’s newly renovated playground and park
you can do just that and more.
The “PDK II” playground is set up like a miniature
version of the airport. Kids can control the runway
from the mini control tower to riding mini plane
bouncers as they watch the real planes take off and
land. There are two talk tubes that run from the
play control tower out to the playground runway.
Swings, zany zipper arch, panel climber, parallel
bars, pilot control steering wheels, and an
educational map of the United States are some of the
activities that will keep your kids occupied.
Soft bark chips fill in the playground area in
addition to grassy areas. Restrooms and tables are
available at the hangar pavilion, and a water
fountain is located in the administration building.
The playground is at the Peachtree DeKalb Airport at
2000 Airport Road. For more information, visit
