Chattahoochee River Park
203 Azalea Drive, Roswell

The playground in Chattahoochee River Park is a little climber’s heaven! From ladders to climbing rocks, every inch of this playground involves climbing fun.

Sheryl Jones of Alpharetta says her kids, Sophie, 4, and Noah, 6, really enjoy the climbing features. “It’s a nice variety. It’s unique to have this much variety of climbing equipment,” she says.

Set near the Chattahoochee River, the playground includes a set of swings and a large, multi-activity plastic and metal zone. Painted bright blue, green and tan, it even has some faux rock finishes, adding to rustic ambience. It has two slides; one large twisting slide and a shorter one.

The playground climbing features include ladders, rings, loops, steps and monkey bars, but the highlights are the four climbing plastic rocks. One rock has steps and handles built in for climbing up; the other three are covered with primary-colored climbing wall grips, as well as bars and foot holes. However, none of the features allow the kids to climb too high, and there’s a soft bed of woodchips for them to fall onto.

  • Parking: Small lots are available in front of the park.
