Grady Park

Yes the fountains taste terrible, though I find the unsavory groups of black men lounging in the park and urinating on the grass even worse. On Saturday November 2^nd about 2pm I was there, with children, when this happened. Really?! Let’s add some police presence, perhaps a few passes on Yorktown would help– this should be a nice park! I have always loved this park in the past but over the last year some undesirable people have been drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, and now urinating on the grass right next to a picnic table!

This isn’t a big or fancy park but it’s a nice place to go for a walk or if you work in the area, take your brown bag lunch there.
They have a single tennis court here which is actually often open and has a net so you might get lucky and have a shot at playing if you go there at the right time. They also have a basketball court in the back of the park which is nice too.

This park is nice, there are tennis courts, a basketball hoop, a short running trail, and a kid’s playground. I’ve seen people doing yoga and playing cricket here too.
Good for families and you can bring dogs. It’s not a huge park but it’s decent enough. The only bad thing is the water from the fountains tastes horrible, like metal, so bring your own water!
The tennis courts are open to everyone but do get busy during peak hours, so I would suggest coming at a random time or else you may have to wait for other people to finish playing.

I recently picked up tennis, and I’m def no Venus Williams. I need some practice– bad! So I started coming to this park to play tennis with my sister since it offers a free, lighted tennis court. It’s first come, first serve with the court, so there have been times where we’ve had to wait or just left to go to another park ot play, but I prefer this one. It’s a small park, but it gets PACKED! The parking lot is always full because there are always workout classes that meet here and use the green area for yoga and other activities. There’s a nice walking track around the green area as well that is well used. My sister has kiddos, so she brings them to this park often because there is a pretty cool jungle gym, swing set, and basketball court area. It’s a small park, but it is packed with great activities.
