Leita Thompson Memorial Park

I adore this park. Wooded and quiet on the trails, located off one of the busiest roads in Roswell. You'd never expect to find what's back there! It's a great place to go if you like trail running or a moderate hike. There are several trails and loops, ranging from 1 mile to 2.5. All are well-marked. The hills can be steep in places and windy with switchbacks. No running water restrooms-- portapotties only.

Spacious grassy fields to accommodate many dog activities. Plus, a very organized trail system of about 3 miles connecting the surrounding parks and neighborhood sporting areas. The gravel paths are about 5ft wide with plenty of overhead tree shade, just perfect on a hot summer day. I parked in front of the peaceful memorial quad and enjoyed the different sculptures and flower arrangements before em"barking" on the hike. The entire place is well-kept and better than I imagined! The photos included are just the highlights. If you have 2-3 hours to spend with a dog, friend, special love, or just by yourself, I highly recommend giving this park a shot...it'll be so worth your while🙂

This place very nice to spend 45-90 min in trail.
It is like isolated from modern world. You feel like you are inside a forest.
I enjoy to joking in this trails.
It has nice lake in the middle and if you want to spend time, there is sling and dock.
If you want you can catch fish but put need to them back.

Thus is the crown jewel of town parks in North Fulton if you like trees, woods and a nice open pasture for frisbee and picnics. The walking trails have a nice change of elevation to enhance a work out and the thick forest canopy that helps beats the heat in the summer.

Great local trails with a couple options depending on how far you want to go. We walked the blue trail, plus a lap around the lake, which was just over 2 miles. Lots of shade, a beautiful lake, and great little running streams.

This park is just the best. It has a great loop and several smaller loops. This is great to fine tune how far you want to go. There is a pond with a great big snapping turtle. There are snakes that watch you walk by. Deer are there living their lives. There is an eagle scout project in place around the park telling visitors about many of the tree species. There are a couple of pretty decent hills to go up. It's shady in the summer to keep you cool. There are a couple of porta pottys. There is a water fountain (turned off during the winter).My favorite part is seeing the friendly faces on the trail.

This is a lovely park with tons of shade and mild hills. The trails are well maintained, marked with mile markers and there are several bridges on the trails which make for great photo opportunities. The trail map is clear and there is ample parking. You can definitely get a good walk or jog in on this trail.

Love this trail just so happen to find it on my all trail app and never knew it was there have also passed by it a thousand times lol this trail is amazing and I have gone different ways everytime I have been there it has red blue and Yello trail all between 1 mile to 2.5 miles but u can make it fun and a lot longer if you go and add different ways. The people that run 🏃‍♀ and walk 🚶‍♀ this trail are friendly and always say good morning and the views and small fish lake are incredible even the deer are super calm to all the people that walk or run there definitely a must go trail hike/ walk love ❤ this place

Exactly what I needed for a Sunday stroll - beautiful scenery, a few hills to make it a work out and a variety of distances to choose from. Loved this park - can’t wait to see what it looks like in spring. Was worth the 25 minute drive over to Woodstock - enjoy!

Wonderful dog friendly trail tucked away off of 92.
Nice undulating paths with miles to explore.
Would recommend!

One of my favorite places to walk. The paths are clear and while you'll see people walking with a friend, their dog, or their children, the trails never feel crowded. Lots of free parking available, moderate hills, some streams to pass by and a lake, and some open green spaces for little ones to run around freely and a small public garden (very near a busy road so supervision of small children is needed)

Great trail system and big woods feel to it. Paths are very well maintained.

This is such a nice park to go for a walk, it is well shaded and has some nice hills not to mention a pond along the way. One of my favorite parks in the area.

There are dog parks as well which are well maintained.

Nice trails. Great dog park area

Love this park ! So peaceful and the trails are well kept .

This is my absolute favorite trail to take my littles to get out and investigate all things nature. We always bring our rain boots to play in the creeks and wear our play clothes. ;)
It's also an amazing trail to run. Of course be on the lookout for snakes. We've encountered a couple there, even a copperhead. Great teaching moment to share the world with all creatures even those who could hurt us.

I really enjoy walking/rucking the trails here. They all loop in a simple to follow circle flow and have different mile lengths available depending on how far you would like to go. A nice park for dogs and three are always friendly people passing by on the trail! Check this place out for your next family walk!

A trail sure to fit any walking style and length. Be sure to take a look at the dog park also.

Nice pocket park with shaded seating.

The park has several different areas, we primarily use the dog park for our two Golden Doodles to let them run. Separate for large and small dogs and both are nice sized for them to run. Not a lot of extras but they don't use them anyway.
