Avondale Park


6809 Vestavia Ln (near Saufley Field Rd)
This newly remodeled park was made for older parksters in mind. There are no toddler swings and the play structure is very tall. There is a basketball court here. There are many climbing opportunities here including some I have seen in very few other parks. There is a large covered picnic area too. Parking is curbside at this sand park.

Dunwoody Park



McClellan Rd & Baisden Rd (off Bayou Blvd)

Not to far from Pintado Park, Dunwoody Park sits in a quiet neighborhood. This surprising find was filled with fun for the boys. The super tall triple slide took up most of our time while the spring animals were a good source of amusement too. This park had a good mixture of shade and also sun. While we were there, children's soccer teams were holding practice and the atmosphere was very friendly. The lengthy walking track encompasses the park. There are also swings, including those for toddlers, and a basketball court. Picnicking is possible at this park. Parking is curbside.

Regency Park


8245 Fathom Rd by way of squire rd off of Olive
Regency park is well nested in a neighborhood, but well worth looking up. There is a large covered area with several tables underneath as well as picnic tables in the distance as well. This park is very spacious and included the playground as well as benches, 2 basketball courts, what looks to be a baseball diamond, a water fountain, and a very extensive, paved walking path. There is some slight grafitti, but that is the only upkeep flaw. The youngest of parksters cannot easily access the main structure, but there are 2 bouncers and toddler swings. There is no shade immediate to the play area, but the park encompasses a tree grove and large field.
