Grays Ferry feels urban and is home to several business parks, but the Grays Ferry Crescent Trail Park along the riverfront provides locals with a quiet, scenic place to gather for picnics, walks, bicycling, and fishing. Other popular locations include the Grays Ferry Crescent Skatepark and Lanier Playground.
