The approximate address of Willis Park is 51 Dartmouth Avenue, Avondale Estates GA.
Overview: This park was recently renovated in the Spring of 2016, the first renovation in its 92 year history. The park contains a large green-space area, newly paved walking paths, ample benches and seating, a pavilion with picnic tables, several areas to swing for both infants and children including a tire swing, a large merry-go-round, a smaller play structure for children aged 2-5 and a larger play structure for children aged 5-12 which includes a large spiral slide, many climbing structures and a balance beam. The play equipment is brand new as of Spring 2016.
I visited this park on a weekend morning in the Spring with my husband and nearly 2-year-old son. It was moderately crowded with average children age ranges between 2-8.
