Large parking lot to access the trails, mostly paved, and some stretch along the river. We picnicked at covered pavilion next to the restroom area. The picnic pavilion had a grill available and a nearby basketball hoop.

A cool, large park with an incredibly beautiful wooden bridge! We gathered here in the morning to start volunteering for Rivers Alive. Overall, it's very easy to find parking and there's plenty of space for walking and playing sports.

Today was my first time walking this trail and I love it better than my go-to! I can't wait until the days get even longer so I can spend more time out there after work. The scenery is what really did it for me!

This is my new favorite park at the moment. Located right at the edge of downtown Athens, it’s the perfect place to stop for a short walk through the woods or a nice stroll on the greenway by the North Oconee River. Both routes lead to a lovely green space with covered picnic tables and restrooms. I played on a small basketball court on my most recent visit when the river was overflowing from a torrential rainstorm. Great spot for walking, biking, skating, birdwatching, picnicking, and so on.

Pretty park with a mostly paved walkway. I took the stroller and it worked out well. A walk along side the river. There is NO playground. There were rock boulders stacked that my child was able to play on until the fire ants came out. There was a flower structure for decor and some benches under it. Some of the walkway is currently under construction.

Very nice beautiful park. Big rocks to either read or have a picnic on. Lovely water and nice and calm atmosphere. Great place to job or walk. Couple of hills but nothing challenging

Great park to take an evening stroll. Has some great overlook bridges and a good mix of nature with some of Athens cityscapes to view as well.

The park is very nice. You can walk or ride bike. There are some tables where you can use for lunch. The park is long. The route is not complete. I mean, it isn't continues. You have to take an alternative way throw area parking in order to follow the complete way

Beautiful park, lots of paths, and very clean. Trails are not too clearly marked so I walked a lot further pointlessly since I had to backtrack along known paths.

Dudley Park is a beautiful place to walk or ride your bike. It leads over to the Firefly Trail head and is very well shaded with wide open paved spaces to walk. Relax and take a break in nature.
