RECREATION & PARKS
The rolling, landscaped neighborhood features plenty of green space, along with its own clubhouse, swimming pool, four tennis courts, and a playground, so residents don’t even need to leave the community to find plenty of recreation options. There are two nature trails – one paved that winds through woodlands, past ponds, and over wetlands, with an unpaved trail near the rear of the neighborhood goes through dedicated greenspace. The trails are the perfect spot for a jog or a family stroll.
Beyond the Kings Grant gates, nearby parks include Mays Park at Beltline Boulevard and Trenholm Road, Old Woodlands Park off Garners Ferry Road, and Sims Park on Duncan Street in the Shandon neighborhood.
