Roswell Area Park

This is a great park for kids, dogs, and runners.
But anyone on wheels (inline skates, bicycles, skooters, or skateboards) won’t like it (and there are rules against you using your wheels).
Trails are mostly gravel and compacted dirt. Trails are rarely paved or very badly paved. Area is somewhat low in elevation so things get muddy after rains.

I never knew this park existed until my visit on 31 October 2015, as I had never been on Woodstock Rd between Canton St and highway 92.
I was en route to another park, but decided to turn around for a visit here.
I walked around the park on the green trail twice, which was slightly over 4K. After the UYE, I wanted to get out and move. And as the UYE fulfilled its purpose, in like manner so did my visit to this park.

This park makes me happy! Thank you Roswell for having such a great place for residents to go. The running trails are well lit and wide and although I wish they were longer, it’s a great spot to run or walk. The playgrounds are great for kids, they are separated with a playground for toddlers, preschoolers and big kids which is really nice.

Great park. Playground is nicely shaded. Love the trail that runs by the pond. Not terribly crowded during the day on weekdays.

We love this park! Such great playgrounds for the kids, great walking paths, swimming pool, pond with ducks and frogs. We walk here all the time and are so happy to live so close.

Nice playground. This was our first time here so we did a little sightseeing on the trail.

Great park! My primary use for this park is the playground with the kids. The playground is shaded a little bit for those hot summer days. There are multiple playgrounds for smaller kids. This park offers everything including baseball, tennis, swimming, etc. the only small downside is that parking can be difficult on a busy day.

Excellent park for a family walk (even with a stroller) ! Nice trail and nice play-​yards !!! I would recommend it !

I drive by many activity areas within the complex, as I make my way to the tennis center.
There are many hard courts, maybe 12 or so, and I think a few soft courts. The hard courts are in very good condition.

It’s pretty hard to not like parks, so unless there is something majorly wrong, I’m not going to knock them. Especially this one. Roswell Park is one of the best parks in North Fulton. Huge recreation center (gymnastics set up, bball courts, and might even have a racquetball court), art center, tennis courts, trails, fields, three playgrounds (one fenced off for the little, little ones)…you can’t go wrong. Great park, check it out!

A few days before Christmas, a small fire triggered the sprinkler system in my brand-​spanking new penthouse condo in Midtown, causing over a quarter of a million dollars in water damage. Over a month later, the insurance companies and the contractors are still fighting over who will pay what, leaving me grateful that my mom recently relocated to Gainesville, leaving my childhood home in Roswell open for me to occupy for the time being. Yup, I’m 25 and living in my parent’s house in the ‘burbs (but hopefully only for another week or two).
But living at home in the ‘burbs has it’s benefits, one of which being this beautiful park. As a kid, I took art, drama, and dance classes here, as a teen I belonged to the pool in the summer, took yoga, and joined the gym (under $ 50 a quarter). Now, I’ve been loving the trails as I try to stay active while doing Unilocal’s In It To Thin It. The main loop is just under two miles long, and loops around the ball fields, through the trees, and around a large lake complete with the biggest American flag you’ve ever seen and a lovely fountain. The ducks here used to terrorize me as a kid, but they were sadly absent on my last visit.
The playgrounds, picnic shelters, and ball fields are always bustling, but the park is big enough that you can escape the masses out in the forest. There’s also plenty of parking, but beware of leaving anything that even appears slightly valuable in plain sight –a friend had her car broken into for the quarters in her cupholder.

This is definitely the best park, in roswell, and probably in fulton county. There are 3 separate playgrounds. there is a toddler and younger area that has a lot of baby swings, play areas, a sandbox, a few slides. It is also fenced in so you don’t have to worry about the little ones wondering off. The next area is a little larger and probably for kids up to five. Also swings, slides, play stations, and a tire swing. On the third and largest playground there is much to do. Huge slides, climbing rock walls, activity centers, smaller slides, monkey bars, climbing ladders, swings, and tire swings. This is definitely the big kid side, however, I see a lot of 3 –4 year olds tuning around.
There are tons of places to sit, eat, have a picnic, meet a group of people, or have a party!
This park has several athletic fields as well as a community pool. They also have a rec building that offers classes every season, an arts building, and a community center building. There are lots of biking trails,.and even more than I know of most likely.
Even if you don’t have kids, roswell park is a great place to hang out!

I love the walking trails and wide paths at RAP. The park is very dog friendly, and if only I could convince my husband that dogs are AWESOME, I would enjoy walking my dog everyday at this park. Thankfully, I live close enough to walk here, because at peak hours or on beautiful days, it can be difficult to find a parking spot. RAP even has an art community center and a garden.

This review is for the Roswell Area Park Tennis Center Only.
Lots of well managed and well-​lighted courts.
Cost is $ 3 for non-​residents and $ 2 for residents.
Courts can get busy but I’ve never had a problem getting/​reserving courts. Pam has been great to deal with.
This is my favorite place to play tennis in Atlanta.

My kids attends camps year-​round at RAP. The staff is so friendly and the facilities are kept up. Whether it is gymnastics, dance, or nature camp, they take care of you at Roswell Area Park.

Well, Roswell Area Park (a.k.a RAP), is one reason to move to Roswell. This park is great for kids, dogs, running, sports (tennis, soccer, etc), swimming, the arts, gymnastics — well, you get the idea. Regional Atlanta does not have that many great parks, but this is one.

This has been one of my favorite public parks for almost 10 years now. In addition to the large public activity centers they have established (including a swimming pool that costs $ 5 a day or free with membership, an art gallery, baseball and soccer fields and tennis courts) they also have a very nice playground and great paths for running and walking.
You really couldn’t ask for more things to be included in a park, all while keeping it beautiful and pleasant to walk around in, with definite character.
Last time I was at this park there was a group of Mexican men and women putting on a live open air church sermon in one of the pavilions, so literally you can do anything here.
Without question one of the best parks outside the perimeter.
