Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Let's go explore Piedmont Park and have dinner at the Colony Square food court along the way. We will walk around the Meadow, Lake Clara Meer, the Active Oval, the Mayor's Grove, Six Springs Wetlands, the Promenade, etc. https://piedmontpark.org/

We'll walk for an hour or so around the park, then head up 14th street to Colony Square for dinner. Then we'll walk back through the park to our starting point.

This is an exploratory hike because the route will sort of be made up as we go along. The time and distance are an estimate. The pace will be faster before dinner and then more moderate after we eat.

There are no bathrooms where we are parking, but there are some at Colony Square.

Please arrive early to make sure you can find parking and get to the meeting point because we will be starting the hike on time.

Required Items to Bring:

Water

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

We will meet near the corner of 10th Street and Monroe Drive at the entrance to the Eastside Beltline. This is across the street from Park Tavern and the SE corner of Piedmont Park.

I am planning to park on the curb in front of the Virginia Highlands Apartment Homes at 609 Virginia Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30306. I'm not sure how crowded it will be, so I'll park farther from the park on Virginia Ave, if needed.

There is a paid parking lot next to the Park Tavern restaurant at the corner of 10th and Monroe, and there is other street parking available in the area. If you park on the street, be sure to check the signs and make sure parking is allowed there. Do not park at Trader Joe's or other businesses around because you can get booted, and that is expensive.
