 Recreation in the city |
At McClendon and Candler Park Drive Atlanta, GA 30307 United States +1 404 347 9325 http://www.candlerpark.org |
A Civil War landmark as well as an expansive in-town green, Candler Park offers tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields, and an outdoor pool. Perhaps the park's most unique feature is its nine-hole golf course that winds its scenic way through one of the East side's most pleasant residential neighborhoods. Often crowded, Candler Park is not the ideal place for a quiet jog, but sports are always being played and everyone is welcome. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located in Candler Park, right in the heart of Atlanta, this small golf course may not be in the most rustic of settings, but its short layout is great for an afternoon of casual fun. Perfect for the beginner, Candler Park is a short nine-hole course that can be repeated for a par of 64. Tiger Woods himself shot a 30 on one go 'round. See website for rates, a course history, and a photo spread on the young Mr. Woods' visit. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If an afternoon of browsing through folk art in the Virginia-Highlands leaves you feeling inspired, then join the fun at this trendy pottery playhouse. Select a piece of unfinished pottery from the rack, then work your artistic magic to create a great souvenir or gift. Pottery comes in all shapes and styles, and is priced from $3-50. Brushes and supplies are provided, as is paint for an additional $3. The hourly rate for painting is $8. Kids are welcomed, but later in the evening, this is really more of an adult activity.
