About
Pea Ridge Park is a free neighborhood park at 3085 Tolbert Dr in east Decatur, serving families in the surrounding residential community. It's not a destination park — it's the kind of quality neighborhood park that makes a neighborhood genuinely livable, and its 4.7 Google rating reflects how well it delivers that function.
The playground equipment is well-maintained and sized for children roughly ages 1-12. Open grassy areas around the equipment give kids room to run beyond the structures. The park is clean and has a welcoming, safe neighborhood feel that parents appreciate.
For Decatur east-side families, Pea Ridge is a reliable quick-trip option that doesn't require any planning or preparation — load the kids in the car, drive to the park, let them run for an hour, done. For families new to the area or visiting relatives in east Decatur, it's a solid choice for keeping kids occupied on a nice day.
Bring your own food and water as there are no concessions. Limited shade means morning visits are more comfortable during Atlanta's hot summer months.
