COBB COUNTY PARKS WINTER 2023 2023 FUN IN THE PARK PHOTO CONTEST

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Dear Residents, Our department is proud to serve the 775,000 residents of Cobb County, and we continuously strive to provide the highest quality programs and events for our community.

This upcoming season, we are excited to bring back some of our most popular events, such as the 12 Days of Christmas Holiday Market and Mable House Lights The Night. Additionally, we successfully debuted our latest attraction – Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland Holiday Light Show and PARKS Santa’s Village. This drive-through holiday light show is an idea that my team has been planning for years. It brings me great joy to see how much our county residents and visitors have enjoyed it. Santa’s Village will be accepting visitors until December 17th and The Light Show will be showing until January 7th.

Whether you are a new resident or have lived here for years, we want to thank you for your continued support and participation. The professionals here at Cobb PARKS are dedicated to promoting quality living. We hope the 2023 Fun In The Park photos inspires everyone to explore our network of community and neighborhood parks, trails, recreational facilities, year-round activities, and tennis centers.

Our hard-working staff and volunteers help make our mission of being accountable stewards of public park lands and recreation resources a reality. We aim to provide efficient and quality leisure services that benefit the body, mind, and spirit of all Cobb County residents.

As we look forward to 2024, we are excited about what the future holds for our department and county. We encourage everyone to discover, experience, and EXPLORE their passions!

HYDE FARM PARK HYDE FARM PARK 726 Hyde Road, Marietta, GA 30068 (770) 528-8819

Take a stroll through Hyde Farm Park, a serene 42-acre oasis nestled between East Cobb and the Chattahoochee River.

This land has a fascinating history dating back to the 1830s and is the only remaining piece of a once vast farm. Hyde Farm is now a tranquil hideaway for locals, featuring hiking trails, a fish-filled pond, and charming historic farm buildings.

HYDE FARM COMMUNITY GARDEN The Hyde Farm Community Garden provides Cobb County residents with sustainable organic gardening techniques. The principles of organic gardening and integrated pest management are at the core of HFCG's approach to helping Cobb residents learn how to cultivate herbs and vegetables in an environmentally-friendly way. Educational opportunities are available to gardeners, schools, youth groups, and the public. In addition, the garden is a regular feature of the monthly farm tours offered by the Cobb County Parks Department.

The next HYDE FARM TOUR will be held on December 9th from 10:00am-12:00pm.
