Walker Park offers a network of over 4 miles of mountain bike designed, multi-use trails. The trails range in difficulty from beginner to advanced. Helmets are strongly recommended. All dogs must be leashed.



  • The Green Loop (0.9 miles) is a beginner friendly introduction to mountain biking. It's short and easy but with enough dips and flow to make it a fun ride in either direction (clockwise preferred).


  • The Orange Crush Loop (0.9 miles) is a beginner/ intermediate trail with bigger dips and a four berm ravine. It is best ridden clockwise.



  • Drive-By Truckers (2.4 miles) is a beginner/ intermediate trail with dips, berms, rollers, and rock features as well as a short optional downhill section.



  • Panic (0.4 miles) is a beginner/ intermediate downhill-only trail with lots of tight berms, a couple optional jumps, and an optional rock drop.

The Outdoor Fitness Zone is free of charge and is located near the splash pad and covered picnic shelter.

• Splash Pad patrons will see signage and visible markings leading up to the entrance of each pool to indicate six feet for social distancing purposes. 

• Anyone displaying any symptoms of COVID-19 will be denied entry. Those symptoms include cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell.

• Social distancing and wearing of masks are recommended. Masks will not be required while in the water.

• Water fountains are closed and patrons are encouraged to bring their own water in a non-glass container.

For more information, please call the ACC Leisure Services Aquatics Office at 706- 613-3589 or visit www.accgov.com/splashpad
