FAMILY ACTIVITIES ARE ABUNDANT IN
GRIFFIN AND SPALDING
COUNTY
Griffin has several popular recreational parks such as Airport Road
Park and the Wyomia Tyus Olympic Park. The Airport Road Park
features a model half-mile walking trail constructed of
approximately 71,000 recycled tires. The park also
provides a playground and commons area for people to enjoy nature at
its best. The Wyomia Thus Olympic Park is named for a local
Olympic Gold Medallist in track. The park features wooded
landscaping with soccer and baseball fields, walking trails, and a
multipurpose building.
Three facilities have regulation indoor basketball courts, and there
are adult softball fields, weight rooms, playground equipment,
restrooms and concession stands at most of the recreational areas.
AMBUCS Park is home to Griffin Youth Baseball, the site of regular
season play and year-end tournament play. Volunteer Park is a
complex of baseball, softball and soccer fields.
Griffin’s City Park, located within a few blocks of the downtown
shopping/business area, is a popular place to hold picnics, attend
ball games, meet for a quick outdoor lunch or take a pleasant stroll
any time of day on the tree-lined walking trail which winds
throughout the park. City Park has an excellent
18-hole
golf course for those who enjoy a challenging course, and for those
who just like to putt around, there is the AMBUCS Miniature 18-hole
course. During the summer months, the swimming pool is a
favorite place to be, and there are always activities that the ball
fields, gymnasium, street hockey court, tennis courts and playground
areas for the children.
A hallmark of Griffin and Spalding County is its access to outdoor
recreation areas. The Flint River is great for fishing and
boating along the western boarder of the county, and the City
Reservoir is where local fishermen make their big catches.
Within a short driving distance of Griffin are several natural
outdoor settings with an array of amenities. Callaway Gardens,
a 14,000-acre resort, offers beautiful grounds. In addition,
more than 30 miles of hiking and riding trails are features of
Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park. In addition, Indian Springs
State Park, High Falls State Park, and Jackson Lake, with
opportunities for fishing, camping, swimming and boating.
Leaders here have made it a priority to make sure that recreational
opportunities grow with the community. Make the most of it;
experience Griffin-Spalding’s great and growing recreation.
