Webb Bridge Park - Alpharetta, GA


Park Day Tuesday
This week's park we decided to visit was 

Webb Bridge Park
Alpharetta, GA

Let me just say that we have yet to find a disappointing park in Alpharetta...


The park was located at the end of Webb Bridge Road and was so cozy and "wood-sy."



The road is one-way and there was only one small sign with arrows to indicate locations of features, but once I drove around the circle a few times, haha, we found everything we were looking for!

I had to include this map to show you just how huge this park is!

Our first stop on the playground was the awesome digging area! All of these toys were here and available for the kids to use.
We spent A LONG time here ;)





The playground had stairs, ladders, tunnels, slides, and lots of unique features that Austin had a blast exploring!




We had a little rain shower interrupt our park time but fortunately they had this pavilion area AND we packed lunch... so it worked out!
(p.s. representing the "U dub" - UWG whoop whoop!)



AFter the rain shower, we checked out the trails! There are multiple entry points and plenty of parking along the way.
The only "issue" we had was that it is all gravel and I packed the regular stroller for Porter.
Pack a jogging/all-terrain stroller if you want to walk the trails!

We can't wait to come back in mid-fall and check out these wooded trails when the leaves change!
Yay for Fall!

Wills Park - Alpharetta, GA


I don't know about all of you stay-at-home mommas, but I do not do well in the house for multiple days at a time. Even one full day at home is enough for me... Maybe there is something seriously wrong with me, but constantly being surrounded by our messes, cleaning them up, only to watch the kids destroy the house again is enough to drive me batty.

A goes to school on MWFs, so that helps break up our day a little but I decided since it's my last year at home all day with them, we need to explore our new town! Today was our first official "Park Day Tuesday." There are TONS of parks in our county and close by. I like to be outside with the kids so this is the perfect way to spend one day/week.

     Disclaimer 1: I, in no way, shape, or form work for or against these parks. I'm just a 
           mom of a three-year-old and a one-year-old writing a personal review of them for 
           other mom friends!
     Disclaimer 2: I AM NO photographer. These are real, untouched photos that I took    while holding  a baby in the other arm, so don't judge! ha 

Week 1: WACKY WORLD PLAYGROUND  at WILLS PARK in Alpharetta, GA

     I sincerely hope we didn't mess up our park explorations by visiting the best park the first week!

                                       Ummm, seriously?!?! It's not a park, it's a castle!

To say that we had fun here is an understatement. Pictured above is just the bigger kids side of the playground and you can't see all of it. I was standing in the toddler area which was wonderful as well!

Toddler height monkey bars and.......



A CHOO CHOO!!!!
Anyone who knows A can probably guess how long we spent in the toddler area driving the train, adding coal, etc. It was a blast!


P and I photographed. He's not too steady on the wood chips yet.


This is one view of the bigger kids side. There are stairs, tires, and ladders everywhere that lead to fun towers and slides.


Needless to say, Wacky World was a blast and definitely kid- approved.
We didn't explore other parts of the park, but there looked to be lots more. I spotted tennis courts, baseball fields, disc golf, walking trails, and picnic areas. The bathrooms were close by, people were nice, weather was good... what more can you ask for? We're looking forward to next week's Park Day Tuesday!!
