Bogan Park
North Bogan Road, Buford

As one son climbed the monkey bars and the other ran the bases on one of the several baseball diamonds, Wendy Albea reflected upon the fun her children had at the Bogan Park playground.

"We come out here a couple of times a week,” says Albea. “My kids love it.  There are just all sorts of things for us to do.”

The playgrounds of the park have many features that make it well suited for smaller children and offer them a safe place to monkey around. The bright red monkey bars are lower to the ground and the line of swings include several with a baby harnesses for toddlers.

The entire play structure sits atop a soft, wood chip foundation that ensures a safe landing off the long, three-curved slide and the playgrounds brilliant red, thinner, multi-looped slide.

Picnic tables surround the playground so parents can chat with other grown-ups while keeping an eye on their children as they play.

With an indoor aquatic center, seven baseball and softball fields, a football field, a sand volleyball and outdoor basketball court, three playgrounds, a community center, picnic pavilion and two miles of paved and dirt nature trails, Bogan Park, only a few minutes from the Mall of Georgia, has an activity to suit almost any taste.
