Medlock Park - Decatur, GA Area Guide

Experience the superb scenery of this family-friendly Georgia suburb

Family-Friendly Pastoral Community Entertainment Commuter

Set among the gentle hills of North Decatur, Medlock Park is a pristine residential area set around its namesake park. With a public pool and playground, the park is major calling card for families in the area, and it gives the neighborhood a community feel that most of the surrounding area goes without.

Medlock Park is popular with families looking for more space than Atlanta homes typically offer. It’s also just north of Downtown Decatur, meaning a short drive puts popular restaurants like Chai Pani and Taqueria del Sol as well as S.O.S Tiki Bar and Victory at your fingertips.

Decatur is city full of contrast, and Medlock Park is no different. You can walk the trails of Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve and have an ice cold IPA in your hand in the buzzing downtown district all within a matter of hours — and you can do it by bike too. If you do commute however, Dekalb Ave., U.S. 78, and I-285 will have you anywhere in Atlanta in no time.
