Chastain Park

The city’s northernmost tip that still gets to claim ITP status. Built up mostly in the 1940s, the area is largely residential. Chastain has plenty of greenspace thanks to the city’s largest park, full of wooded jogging trails, tennis courts, a horse park, and a beautiful outdoor music venue. But as development ever expands along Roswell Road, new culinary and cultural spots are starting to pop up in this otherwise sleepy area.

Blue Heron has a tiny nature trail clocking in at just under a one-mile loop – but there are a few things to stop and see along the way: a sculpture of a humanoid-figure made out of recycled trash; placards detailing information on the native plant species; a stone along the path with the Proust inscription, “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom”; and your local branch of the Little Free Library. Why does the signage feature a fire-breathing beaver, you ask? It’s just another mystery of the universe.
