North Georgia Family Fun

Leita Thompson Memorial Park

Trails
There are 3 trails. The yellow one is 1.12 miles.  The blue one is 2 miles; the red one is 2.25 miles.  The red and blue trails offer a .25 mile extension around the lake.
All the trails are very shaded and crushed gravel.  It is wide enough for two people to walk side by side - even with strollers.  No tree trunks or erosion control logs.  There is one area where you have to cross a very small creek but I was able to do it without any problem in our regular stroller (not the all-terrain).

Playground

None

Other
There is an off-leash area for dogs, but you get to it from a different parking lot than you use to get to the trails.  Park by the gardens (not the ceramics house) for the trails. There are a lot of mosquitoes so bring some repellent.  There were several runners so try and stay to the right as you walk.

Tree Climbers International

Every first and third Sundays they offer a beginners class for adults and kids both.  After a short orientation, you are able to climb to basically any limb in the tree.  There are about 15 ropes hanging to choose from so you can pick a low limb or a high one (not that you have to go to the top).  You can climb all you want until 5pm (however, you have to let others all get a first time to climb, then you can go up again).  We were pooped after 2 times each. Great for the kids.

Interactive Neighborhood for Kids

Update June 7
Directions to the Corner Drug Store for ice cream, and Laurel Park are on the maps section of this website. Go here to see the link.

Trails
No trails - it is indoors

Playground
This entire attraction is one big playground - but in a more unconventional sense.  There is a climbing area with slides, etc but that is not the best part.  This attraction is a "play" neighborhood complete with a vet, grocery store, beauty shop, bank, and more.  Everything is real from the cash register in the soda pop shop to the dental chair in the dentist office.  The best part - it is scaled down for kids.  The chair is low, the tables are kid size, the check out lane is pint size.  It is such a place of discovery for kids - a chance to use their imagination in new and unique ways.

Other
I did not see this on the website, but learned it when we went -- they really encourage home schoolers and stay-at-home moms to come.  Call ahead with a reservation and you get in 1/2 price. 
Great restrooms, a small gift shop (they are strict about your child not playing with things in it) and a few snacks are available.  Your hand stamp lets you come and go all day, and they encourage you to either bring your lunch and eat at the lunch area or to go and get lunch then come back.  It is in an industrial part of town, but main street is very close and provides a lot of dining options.

About 15 minutes away is a Corner Drug Store that serves 50 cent ice cream and Laurel Park that has a great spray/water area for the kids.  Maybe I can convince my friend to post directions below in the comments.
