W.P. Jones Park


W.P. Jones Park is located at Pleasant Hill Road between Buford Highway and Peachtree Industrial in Duluth, Georgia and is just 34 miles from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. This city park offers many different activities and includes a recreation center and a tennis complex. Visitors can come to the park throughout the year and it remains open from dawn until dusk.

Various recreation programs are held at the Old Depot, which is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5.30pm. The Old Depot was once located in downtown Duluth but was relocated to the park and named after the former Mayor W.P "Willie" Jones. It was then converted from being a train depot into a recreation facility where activities such as dance and yoga are held.

The tennis complex is located adjacent to the Old Depot and is open from 7am to 11pm throughout the week. It has four lighted courts, a restroom and plenty of parking available. From the tennis complex there is a paved trail that takes visitors to the park playground, which has equipment for the physically challenged. Other facilities at the park include a picnic pavilion for public rental and a nature trail.
