Summer is coming and so are the days of wondering what to do with your family in Athens, Georgia!  The Athens Clarke County Leisure Services Department takes play very seriously and has activity, clubs and services for everyone.  Check them out at the link above and here are a few of my favorite for the upcoming summer

ACC Skate Park at SE Clarke Park:  The SPLOST 2000 funded skate park is designed to accommodate both skate boards and BMX bikes The park features two main components including a bowl ranging from five to ten feet in depth and approximately 4,500 square feet in size. The second component is a street course including ramps, grinding edges, and rails, steps, and other unique features. This skate park is constructed entirely of either poured in-place concrete or shotcrete and has a unique steel coping around the edges for grinding.  Please make sure you read the RULES!

The World of Wonder Playground (WOW) at SE Clarke Park (off Whit Davis Road)  This unique playground was constructed in 2004 by 1,500 volunteers. It is the largest volunteer built playground in the state of Georgia. The playground is open during regular park hours -Daily from 8:00am to Sunset.
