Whether the weather in metro Atlanta is rising are falling judging by the temperature, it’s a perfect time to get out and about to visit a park in Decatur.
These are the best parks in Decatur

Here are a number of our favorite parks in Decatur, in no particular order:Oakhurst Park
307 Feld Ave, Decatur, GA 30030. A Google Reviewer says: “Nice park in a good neighborhood.” Another says it’s great “for kids and pets.”
Mason Mill Park
1340 McConnell Dr, Decatur, GA 30033. A Google Reviewer says: “Awesome park and playground for the North Decatur area. It’s got two distinct playgrounds, one for the older kids and one for the toddlers. They are attached, so you can keep an eye on both from the parent benches all around them. The building attached is a senior center but I believe the auditorium/event room can be rented for parties. They also have plenty of parking, a sport playing field, a couple of covered picnic table areas with BBQ grills, a nearby scenic paved walking/running trail, a gardening area and the Dekalb Tennis Center.”
Winnona Park
510 Poplar Cir, Decatur, GA 30030. A Google Reviewer says: “Lots of open field, well kept, good little children’s playground. Usually active.”
Dearborn Park
1310 Deerwood Dr, Decatur, GA 30030. A Google Reviewer says: “It’s small, but has good dog walking trails, a small playground for kids and basketball court. My daughter used to catch tadpoles in the creek, raise them and release them.”
Glenlake Park
1121 Church St, Decatur, GA 30030: A Google Reviewer says: “Nice community park with one medium sized soccer field, a basketball court, community pool, several tennis courts, a good-sized playground and a medium-sized dog park. Parking is limited and goes quickly on the weekends. Adjacent to a cemetery and good for short walks.”
Woodland Gardens
932 Scott Blvd, Decatur, GA 30030. A Google Reviewer says: “Pretty and quiet nature getaway convenient to our home. Pretty remarkable that it’s cooler and quieter in such proximity to a major intersection and apartment building. The trail it’s clear without being obtrusive. Parking isn’t ample, but then again there were no cars the Saturday afternoon we went. Bring bug spray!”
McKoy Skatepark
1000 Adams St, Decatur, GA 30030. A Google Reviewer says: “Public pool, softball leagues, walking paths, playground, and a skate park. Great mix of activities and local mingling.”
Brookside Park
The park used to be the site of some condemned apartments. Now it’s top-notch green space with an off-leash dog park. The dog parcel is three-quarters of an acre and features a water fountain, disposable bags and benches.
“This was a seven-acre worn-down dilapidated apartment complex, and at the time, we were able to draw down federal funds to acquire the site,” District 6 Commissioner Kathie Gannon said at the January ribbon-cutting for the dog park.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta continues to set the bar when it comes to world-class sports venues. The stadium has lowered prices on some select concessions, AtlantaFi has learned.
This is the second time over the course of a year that Mercedes-Benz Stadium has cut food prices.
In September 2018 just in time for the Atlanta Falcons football season, the stadium did price reductions on beverages and food. As a result, Mercedes-Benz Stadium has sparked a downward cost trend among the league.
How much does food cost at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?
The latest round of price cuts at MBS was announced in early March 2019. The stadium says that whole-dollar pricing reductions on premium items have been implemented. As a result, the savings are all one dollar each, amounting to 11% reduction in food prices. They are as follows:
- Hot Dog: $1.50 (was $2)
- Pretzel Bites: $4.50 (was $5)
- ATL Bud Burger: $7.50 (was $8)
- Ice Cream Waffle Cone: $4.50 (was $5)
- Chips and Salsa: $2.50 (was $3)
“Arthur Blank has repeatedly challenged us to find ways to lower prices again to further improve a food and beverage experience that already ranked number one in the NFL and MLS in our debut season,” said Steve Cannon, AMB Group CEO. “We’ve listened to our fans from the beginning and these new prices are a result of that feedback. Arthur is going to keep challenging us to go lower and we’re going to keep listening to the fans, so this is probably not the last one.”
Here is a chart to help you see Mercedes-Benz Stadium food prices
Stadium officials pride themselves on “fan first pricing,” which means that dining options have their most loyal customers in mind. As a result, from Blank on down, executives see the Mercedes-Benz Stadium food and beverage program as one of the amenities that enhance entertainment.
Listen to a stadium executive talk about what went into deciding Mercedes Benz-Stadium food prices:
As for the food options, here are some pictures of what you can eat at Mercedes-Benz Stadium:

Atlanta’s Virginia-Highland area has a new restaurant for tapas, tacos and Tequila: Bar.bacoa. This new Atlanta restaurant features Caribbean and Latin American-inspired cuisine.
The masterminds behind Bar.bacoa are James Rangel and Scott Switzer (Taco Cowboy). With Bar.cacoa, the duo are focused on tropical dishes with fresh ingredients, which is sorely needed in Midtown Atlanta.
What’s on the menu at Bar.bacoa in Atlanta?
One of the cool things about Bar.bacoa is that they have alcoholic drinks named after popular movies. The Italian Job (NB Gin Negroni with Campari and Sweet Vermouth) and The Dude (Cutwater Horchata Vodka White Russian with Belle Isle Coffee and Ice Cream.) “Tropic Thunder” is another one:)
Where is Bar.bacoa located?
Bar.bacoa is located at 1000 Virginia Ave. NE Atlanta, Ga. 30306. Here is a map to help you find it.
This Atlanta restaurant is heavy on the Spanish influence when it comes to decor: Artwork, loud and bold colors, yet subdued in their tones.
When it comes to restaurants, Atlanta is quickly gaining ground on some of the dining capitals around the United States.
The culinary excellence of Southern food is only part of the reason why Atlanta restaurants are having a moment. New entries into the restaurant entry, including steakhouses, seafood and fast-casual, represent a growing segment of the new Atlanta restaurants.
Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.
Fast-casual is also the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.

Patrons typically order off a menu board like they would at a burger joint, but the convenience of sitting down to leisurely enjoy their food has made the segment a popular one with the restaurant industry.
The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene, which has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.
