Itinerary:

Southside Park is one of the largest parks in Atlanta. It features around 7 miles of multi-use trails frequented by bikers, joggers and hikers. The trails go through a beautiful forested area, are well-marked and maintained, and not heavily used. The elevation change will not exceed 500 ft.

Unfortunately there are no bathroom facilities, but plenty of trees.
