Hammond Park
705 Hammond Drive, Atlanta
 Kids building sand castles,
enjoying picnics and swinging high into the sky sets
the scene at Hammond Park’s playground area. Kids
will love the freedom to run from playground to
playground, and parents can relax because the whole
area is fenced in and away from any traffic.
The park has two playgrounds;
one is more suitable for younger or special needs
children, and the other one is geared toward older
kids. There’s a sandbox, where kids can build sand
castles for hours, while you rest at the picnic
pavilion nearby. A row of swings will help even the
youngest tots touch their toes to the clouds.
The smaller playground has
three slides, two of which are tunnels. The
multi-level towers are fun for kids to climb up and
under as they make their way from one end of the
playground to the other. The ground is rubber, so
it’s a soft landing pad for those who may fall down.
The bigger playground is a
great place for kids to play with friends. The
tunnel slide, twisty slide, rings, climbing net,
swinging bridge and poles to slide down can be an
imaginary pirate ship, castle or fire station. The
ground is covered with wood chips, so watch out for
little ones who may want to pick them up.
