Taylor-Cowart Park
Another hidden gem is Taylor-Cowart Park. It sits right next to Bemiss Road in the North Valdosta area. While it may not be as quiet as other parks, it’ s still quite cozy and uncrowded.
Taylor-Cowart has a large playground with multiple slides of different sizes for both kids little and big, nets and ladders to climb, a miniature rock wall and swings. Like many other parks in the area, Taylor-Cowart has a small grassy area to run around in or play catch.
This park is a little less shaded than others, but does have a gazebo for those looking for a reprieve from the sun. There are also benches and picnic tables to relax at and have lunch.
Both of these spots are less busy due to their size, but they also don’ t have restrooms. Fortunately these spots are close to town, so anyone who finds themselves needing a bathroom break won’ t be in a pickle.
