Holcomb Bridge Park

Features: With swings galore and three distinct playground structures, kids can play like they mean it at Holcomb Bridge Park. Catered to your youngest tykes, the smallest of the structures is squatty and compact, with little steps and short slides. And for the kings and queens of the playground, a much larger structure towers over the wood-chipped landscape, complete with long, curvy slides. Little adventurers will particularly enjoy the third structure, which features a mini-climbing wall, a rope ladder and a plastic rolling log. Besides the structures, there’s plenty of open grass to enjoy, and the large octagonal picnic pavilion is a perfect place for birthday parties or post-game celebrations. Another half dozen or so picnic tables sit underneath a shady canopy of pine trees, overlooking the action on the playground.

Amenities: Not only are the restrooms super-sanitary, but they’re close to the playground. There’s plenty of parking at the park, but parents beware – there’s no fence separating the recreation areas from the parking lot.

Directions: From Peachtree Industrial North, exit at Jimmy Carter Blvd. Take a left and continue on Holcomb Bridge Rd. for about two miles, and you can’t miss the park (it’ll be on your right). The address is 4300 Holcomb Bridge Rd., Norcross. Call 770-814-4914 for more information.
