Families have boundless opportunities for outdoor family fun with the many parks and trails in North Fulton. We have put together a list to help you when you are looking to venture out on bikes, a walk or to play sports in a field.  Several parks are along a river and have canoe access and picnic areas.  Make a day of your park visit and pack a picnic lunch/blankets to relax and enjoy being outside!

ALPHARETTA

Big Creek Greenway
The Big Creek Greenway is a concrete trail approximately 8 miles long and meanders along Big Creek parallel to North Point Parkway, from Windward Parkway at Marconi Drive on the north end to Mansell Road on the south end. A soft mulch trail encircles a large wetland between Haynes Bridge Road and Mansell Road. Wildlife such as blue heron, deer, ducks and Canada geese can be observed in this preserved water setting.

Brooke Street Park
Brooke Street Park is a five-acre passive park in downtown Alpharetta located just behind City Hall. Take your time to enjoy the park and arboretum at your own pace with a winding concrete path, a beautifully landscaped stream, open lawn, Veterans War Memorial and a small reading garden located between City Hall and the new Fulton County Library. Flowering trees add color to the landscape with their wide range of sizes and flower color choices.
