    With limited staff, it is hard to get a lot of time to swim but when you do get to swim, it is very nice. The water is warm, the pool is clean, and the lifeguards are doing their job as well. I feel safe and I am going to be a regular visitor every season. Thank you Brandy and Ian, and the rest of you guys for being there everyday. May I suggest giving your hired security guard more hours and a bit more pay to encourage him to stay a bit longer? I wish you guys were open until almost dark, cause sometimes, I don't get to swim because I don't get off work in time. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to all who work at Candler Park pool.

    Just went to an arts festival here. Nice spot and well organized. The whole place seemed like fun. Hard to say how it is outside of festivals but it was more spacious than I expected. The lawn and playgrounds were well maintained. Looking forward to coming here more

    My first time being there. Took the children to the park to play - a lot of space to play frisbee!

  • 5/5 Predrag C. 1 year ago on Google • 70 reviews
    I love kids soccer in the park - girls and boys playing together, some of the 5-year olds are really impressive.

    We love this park for our toddler because it is very accessible for her starting when she can walk. There are plenty of toddler toys while also having a full-size playground. LOTS of swings (3 different sets). Also parking is abundant! Downside: it gets FULL sun.

  • 5/5 Adam G. 4 years ago on Google
    Best park in Atlanta. Historic, beautiful, affordable city golf course w water and nature, surrounded by the neighborhood the park is named for. Music festivals, swimming pool, bike paths. Near the original Flying Biscuit Cafe. Walking distance from Little 5 Points

    Beautiful to walk through.

    Great park with courts, fields, golf and kids stuff

  • 3/5 François C. 4 years ago on Google
    Small park with two tennis courts, pool, pavilion, and public golf course. Not the type of park to go for a long walk, mostly serves the residents of the nearby neighborhoods.

  • 5/5 Mr E. 4 years ago on Google

    4th of JULY Festival! Great fun, then severe weather with torrential rains and lightning!!! Then, they brought us back for the fireworks!!! Best fireworks I've ever seen, and they had A DJ playing along with the fireworks for an ultimate experience! Got a little scary, my daughter was terrified for a bit. But in the end we will NEVER FORGET IT!!! And we are all safe!

    My favorite Subway. I always go there last minute as they are about to close (yep- THAT guy) And they are always welcoming. I work late and this is one of the few places that stays open till 10. The young man is very upbeat, professional, and polite. Whoever owns this franchise should be very proud of his staffing. Oh- and it's Subway, so you know what they serve. But rest assured this establishment is well run.

  • 3/5 Angel L. 3 years ago on Google
    I thought it would be a good place to run but it's not as big as I thought. More of a place for picnics & for kids to run around and play.

  • 3/5 Heath H. 3 years ago on Google
    Needs some work but it is not a bad green space.

  • 4/5 Gus H. 1 year ago on Google
    The updated bathrooms in the park bring this from a 3 star park to a 4 star park. This park has it all: several pavilions, tennis courts, basketball courts, play ground, golf course, swimming pool, a good amount of parking for it's size and a big field.

  • 5/5 John W. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent park, but do be careful of the invisible speed bumps, when riding a bicycle. The good news is that the restrooms are finally open!

  • 5/5 Dumont W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park took our toddler and she loved the equipment. Plenty of trees adound for shade as well

  • 5/5 Gretchen B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to stop and walk the puppy. The grounds are beautiful and the bathrooms are clean!

  • 5/5 Cashelle R. 3 years ago on Google
    I still wish that pool would reopen... But generally a lovely park for running and enjoying the playground with kiddos.

  • 4/5 Tana A. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to play tennis, but all the courts were full. When in the tennis 'cage' and just hit balls off the wall with my 9 yr old. Nice man (Fred) came over and gave a few tips to my boy...❤️

    Candler Park Fall Fest is a great neighborhood festival, good music, food truck, vendors, and a huge kids fun zone (great value for money!). No dogs allowed at festival.

  • 4/5 Thomas N. 3 years ago on Google
    Great park for families and pups. A lot of social activities that are city led are closed however families in the community get together for recess. A lot of dog owners meet up so the four legged friends can socialize outside of the dog park as well. Remember folks. Masks up!!

  • 5/5 Drew S. 3 years ago on Google
    Candler Park is not only charming and beautiful, its a great place to meet up with friends. You almost forget you are conveniently located inside the city of Atlanta!

    My husband took me there for a wonderful evening. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, hidden spots and romantic sunset!

  • 5/5 Wangechi T. 3 years ago on Google
    It's super spacious, which is great right now and no where near as packed as Piedmont or Centennial. Just a peaceful place to be 😌

  • 4/5 Barbara S. 3 years ago on Google
    GOOD BUT COLD

  • 5/5 Socorro D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great for walking. Went today. Saw squirrels and heard birds. Soon the many trees will come alive. In great neighborhoods. Just be careful of golfers. Meditated. Just enjoy.

  • 5/5 Rick F. 3 years ago on Google
    Lots of space here, spread out from the game fields at the top of the hill and trail on side opposing, to the pool, playgrounds, and picnic areas near the back entrance at the bottom.

  • 4/5 Barbara Shivers S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful but cold...I enjoyed seeing my coworkers.

  • 5/5 T. Nicole W. 3 years ago on Google
    I love Candler Park! It's big, green, and has great walkways. The walkways that start in the park continue as part of the Peach Path which runs through much of Atlanta and along Freedom Parkway. I enjoy this park because there are lots of trees and lots of interesting areas to find some space to enjoy some city green space. The other thing I enjoy about this park is the little swimming pool, the golf course, tennis courts, and basketball courts (bring your own equipment for these as it is just the court available). If you live in the area I highly recommend walking over to get some outdoor air and vitamin D!

  • 5/5 Denetra B. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this park. So beautiful, clean, and the surrounding neighborhoods are even pretty to look at. I did not see any trash and everyone who was at the park were support friendly and respectful of others space.
