A Charming Oasis of Community and Calm in Atlanta Candler Park is the kind of place that makes you fall in love with Atlanta all over again. Tucked into a beautiful historic neighborhood, it offers a perfect mix of laid-back green space, family-friendly recreation, and a genuine neighborhood vibe that feels warm and welcoming. The park itself is spacious without feeling overwhelming. Wide open fields invite picnics, casual soccer games, and quiet afternoons reading under a tree. The playground is lively and well-kept, perfect for families. There’s also a public golf course tucked into the landscape, a swimming pool open in summer, tennis and basketball courts, and walking trails that are great for a morning jog or an evening stroll. What makes Candler Park truly special is how alive it feels: kids playing, neighbors gathering, local events popping up, musicians sometimes practicing under the trees. It’s not just a park—it’s the heartbeat of a community. It's also conveniently located near fun spots like Little Five Points, the Candler Park MARTA Station, and the Freedom Park trail connections, making it easy to pair a visit here with a broader day of exploring.

It has potential but it's so unfinished. Kids can't use the playground. There is an adorable little splash pad though!

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.
