Mark Trail Park and Recreation Center

Mark Trail Park and Recreation Center is located at Tilson Road in Decatur, Georgia and is approximately seven miles from Atlanta. This is a 48-acre area offering many different recreational activities to the southeast side neighborhood of Little Five Points. It can be reached by taking the Flat Shoals Road exit off Interstate 20, heading north before turning right on 2nd Avenue, then right again on Tilson Road.

Amongst the many attractions at the park and recreation center is the outdoor swimming pool, although this is open during the summer moths only. However, there is also several tennis courts here as well as basketball courts, softball and soccer fields. There are extensive pathways too that are ideal for cycling, hiking, jogging and in-line skating.

Children are catered for not only with the sports facilities but also a playground area, whilst visitors are also welcome to bring dogs to a specially designated pet area. The park offers a large picnic pavilion for those wishing to hold small parties here and there are numerous restrooms available too. Those looking to enjoy a round of golf can head just a few miles from the park to East Lake Golf Club, which is located on Alston Drive in Southeast Atlanta.
