Medlock Park

Medlock Park’s a pleasant little place tucked into a residential neighborhood bordered by Clairmont and North Decatur Roads. The emphasis seems to be on its baseball fields which are numerous in number and if you’re there at the right season, teeming with kiddos playing America’s pastime. A popular spot with runners, walkers, dog owners, and families, you’ll see all of the above if you’re at Medlock Park on a fair weekend day. There’s a parking lot on Gaylemont Circle but you can park on a street if you come from other directions.
If you’re feeling ambitious, you can take the wooden path all the way to Mason Mill Park. We did this once by accident! It was a happy accident since you get to go through some quiet woods behind houses and then get to cross over the railroad tracks closer to your destination.
Medlock maybe isn’t the most exciting park ever, but I’m glad it’s around.

Came here as a visiting team for baseball tournament. Well run, very organized! Concessions were surprisingly below average. Fields were great and very well maintained between games!
Overall a very positive experience!
I’m sure the leagues here are great as well! Thier team was strong, and there families very welcoming!

Walk conveniently to Mason Mill Park and Avis G. Williams library!!!

Medlock Park is composed of mostly baseball fields and a community pool but there are also some very cool trails and paths running alongside the creek.
The community pool here (open during the Summer months) is way better /​nicer than the one next to Adams stadium (Kittredge Pool). There is also a small playground for little kids.
There is a great hiking trail that connects Medlock Park to Mason Mill Park (30 minutes walk each way).
I would also like to see a walking path from Medlock Park leading through woods along the creek to the nearby Clyde Shepherd Wildlife Park /​Sanctuary.

My family and I have spent countless hours at Medlock, playing on the playground and walking/​bike riding the boardwalk between Medlock and Mason Mill Parks. On occasion we’re lucky enough to see a train go by. Medlock is not the newest of parks, but it has a nice playground and lots of paths for kids to ride bikes.

This is a nice neighborhood park with a small kids area and a big kids area. It also has baseball fields and ample parking. There is a wooded path that connects it to Mason Mill Park. The path is 1 mile long and it is a really nice walk.

I live just around the corner from this park. It is a great place to walk your dogs, play with your kids, or simply watch a little league baseball game. The park is well kept and a very friendly place. However, don’t go when it raining because it tends to get flooded.

My 1 year old daughter’s favorite park. She always makes so many little friends here! We like that it has two playgrounds, one for older kids with higher slides and big kid swings, and a smaller one for the young ones with baby slides and swings. The playground is blanketed in a layer of woodchips so the kids can’t hurt themselves too bad when they fall down.
There are also a ton of baseball fields here, and it looks to be the home of a local Little League, although I have never been here when they are playing. There is also a bike trail, part of the PATH system, which leads from the park, through the woods, across a railroad track, and up to the old Decatur Water Works ruins by Mason Mill park. Haven’t had a chance to do the path now that it has been completed, but looking forward to it!
