Nice park. Trails are longer due to many curves. Great for picnics, jogging, biking, and enjoying time off.

Such a beautiful, serene place to walk through. I instantly feel an escape from the craziness of life right now. I can take a deep breath and just breathe. My young granddaughter and I walk there most mornings. She enjoys it as much as I do. Its a safe place we can enjoy without wearing a mask. (Of course, being careful to cross to the other side if someone is walking toward us on same side.)

Took my son, and we had a blast exploring. Beautiful lake to fish, plenty places to hike and bike. The flat rocks were awesome to look at and peaceful.

We love this place! Great hiking, bike trails, and picnic areas. Lots of fun creeks and rocks to climb and explored.

The park as a whole is pretty cool. The natural rock slide is still awesome . The bike path and disk golf areas are still decent. There seemed to be some light construction on 2 shelters which looks promising but the playground desperately needs some love. At the bare minimum a deep cleaning. The trash is a little much. It seems as though most people have forgotten what a trashcan is and the parks department obviously doesnt care about doing an even decent job. Sad to see these places being driven into the ground by careless people.

Its what it says flat rocks. Which are really cool to walk around carefully. The place looks like at one time it was kept up and used for picnics and such. When we went I dont know if it is because of covid or not but it was over grown and neglected. We still enjoyed our visit and would go again.

What a great little gem. Really good for family fun for all. The kids loved playing in the water. My dog also liked the walks and water play.

My Girlfriend and I had a blast. It was my first time visiting the park, so she was really excited to show me. Theres beautiful nature trails for walking. For those who are into RC cars and trucks this is the place to go, there were several people enjoying doing as well.

Ive enjoyed this park for years. Lots to do here. Cycling, hiking, disc golf, and much more. Sure, some of the facilities could use some TLC, but it is a great place to get some much needed outdoor time.

Maps and visitor information were a bit hard to find. The trail I was on was well maintained. Nice connection to Fall Line Trace trail.

Nice park. Markings need some work, but it will be a regular hang out for me while Im in Columbus on a travel nurse assignment.

Love morning runs here! Whether I stay on the main 2 mile loop, run the cross country style trails, or enjoy the relatively flat bike trail towards the back, Im never disappointed.

Good disc golf course just needs the grass cut a little more often usually.

Beautiful place. Hiking, biking, picnic spots, disc golf. Could be slightly better maintained from a structural standpoint, but thats a very light criticism.

Cool place! Theres a lot to do. Its a big part of you just want to walk around or climb on the rocks. Its super chill! You can bring your bike and ride around theres trails in the woods and trails that are blacktop. Cool little waterfall! Theres also a disc golf coarse! Place is worth a look if you are in the area!

Peaceful and riders respect walkers. I love walking from Psalmond Road to Miller Road better than the Park & Ride entrance to Miller Road.

Nice place visited it one time to ride the Fall Line Trail. Trail was nice until you get into the Columbus Urban area.Park has exposed flat Rock like name says. A small stream flows over the Rock making it a natural splash pool thats great for kids in hot weather.Rocks are kind of picturesque themselves. Park also has a small lake a mountain bike trail and the trail I already mentioned

So the nature part is beautiful! What mother earth has created through time! Incredible. I thought think because of our current situation up keep is a bit behind. Question, is the history of this place.

This is a beautiful park. It was nice for a drive thru a picnic, exploring. We didnt have much time to spend there. But absolutely would like to go back for camping.

Review №36

Wonderful place to walk around. There are 2 playgrounds for children. A disc golf course. Plenty of picnic tables all over the park.Enjoyed getting out close to the water and taking pictures. Be careful of the algae covered rock close to the waters edge.If youre going to do something that could get a little rough, like a Nerf war. Pick the area carefully. Away from the creek is enough dirt on the ground, but there are many areas that is just bare rock.

One of Columbuss hidden gems. A great place for families. The water is always cool and lots of spaces to picnic or barbecue. Relaxing area to fish and just enjoy nature.

If you want to come here and ride bikes or take a walk make sure you park near other cars and LOCK YOUR DOORS some kids went through my car and took my girlfriends purse with all her id’s and money and cards, they took her makeup bag and a book bag with all of her clothes... even our phone chargers they took my bag too with nice shoes and clothes as well. mind you her purse was in the glove box and our bags were in the trunk but it’s just not a great place to be, just go to cooper creek

This is absolutely the best park in the Columbus Georgia and Chattahoochee Valley area. Ive been coming to this park for 29 years, before me and my mother and her friends went to this park. There is endless areas to explore. The flat rocks with small waterfalls (if you can call it that) are very beautiful and relaxing to sit by. Theres no railings or borders so you can explore anywhere you would like. During the summer a lot of people like to slide down the rocks though I would exercise a lot of caution doing so. There is quite a few mountain biking tracks, enough to entertain even the best Riders. I believe Ive ridden all of them and theyre quite fun. There is a big lake and you can fish there though most people dont have too much luck from what I hear. But the park is usually very well taken care of. Flat Rock will always hold a special place in my memories!

Review №42

This park is easy to get to, the park drive is scenic, paved, and clean. The trails are marked and maintained well. The only negative I encountered was the lack of periodic bathrooms along trailheads.(those there being open). This is a very picturesque park with plenty of room to roam, the pond is nice to look at, fee ($0) is great. Parking is anywhere along picnic stops that are all along the main drive route, near the official trail entrance and the exit. The cement tables and rustic oven/grills are a nice touch and are plentiful.

Nice park with a lot of stuff to do. Great running trails, decent disc golf course and a cool water area. My biggest complaint is the trash build up in the front of the park

Review №52

We went here for something to do on a Sunday. This is a nice park, but it could use so upgrading. The playground equipment was old and dirty looking. We were able to take some nice pics here. My kids went down the rocks. They had fun doing that. But beware it’s a quick side down those rocks and you could land on jagged rock

Review №53

The park is large with 3 different trails to choose from for hikers and bikers. There is a lake and a golf course. There is plenty of picnic tables and fire place like bbq pits. There are different children jungle gyms. The flat rocks are VERY slippery when wet as the sign warns. I wandered about it myself and fell (not too bad) but parents should watch their children. The restrooms are okay. Theyre not super clean but not as filthy as some other public parka Ive seen. I do think they need more trash cans because I came across a lot of trash here and there like a dirty diaper and fast food paper bag. It annoyed me but when I tried to throw away some of my own trash I noticed there werent a lot of trash cans around. Nice park overall but needs to be taken care of more on the visitors and city side.

Nice neighborhood park. Nice trails for walking, running, biking. Trails are maintained by volunteers. Lots of places for BBQ and at least 2 kids playgrounds. They also have a great frisbee golf course, and party areas..... unfortunately it seems that the increased use over the past few years has attracted people who just leave their garbage anywhere and everywhere. Aside from that its a great park.

This is now one of my favorite Disc golf courses. The terrain is fun, but bring water proof shoes or shoes you do not care about. The park itself is also great for exploring and hiking.

Great park! Have been coming here my whole life. Ive seen a lot of improvements over the years. The disc golf course is a lot of fun and there is plenty for kids to do too. The rock and water feature at the entrance is as beautiful as ever.

This is a nice park to hike and let your dog roam around with your super vision. They have tables that friends and family can go to for a picnic! I saw lots of people hiking and playing with their frisbees and saw lots of dog playing around. We go here often and we love it!

The area is beautiful, but no security makes it a place for people up to no good. My child always has a good time but it’s been years since most of this park has been updated.

Review №75

I almost didnt visit, as I heard comments from others about the trash and the park had gone down hill. After asking a few of the staff at my dogs day care- I took a chance as they all said it was a lovely park. Im very happy I didnt miss it! There were some areas that did have one or two pieces of trash others had left behind---while I didnt appreciate that the over all beauty and serenity of this park is one you dont want to miss. There were plenty of others walking, enjoying and playing with their children. Joggers, hikers were all around. And a perfect walk with my Blue heeler. It was absolutely lovely.

A really nice park to bring your whole family to. There public bathrooms, a lake to fish in and lots of trails to walk and ride on. Not to the mention the area around the park is very safe and suburban so you dont have to be overtly worried about the environment around you. All and all a wonderful destination to picnic and just have fun with your entire family.

Review №88

Great place to go for an easy hike. The bike trails seemed well maintained and enjoyable. The best thing about this park is that its right in town. Giving four stars because they could improve signs/trail information to make it easier to find the start of a trail. Trail distances would also be helpful to know. The one map I found wasnt very detailed, other than this its a very nice park.

Flat Rock is pleasant every time I go there for a mountain bike ride. I feel relatively safe and enjoy the well-maintained trails. Sometimes Ill watch the disc golfers before continuing on my fairly easy ride. Good place for a morning work-out. We came across this park and decide to check it out, sure glad we did! What a beautiful park! Fun playground, awesome trails for both bikes and warning. Pack a picnic baskets and explore away!

Amazing park! The trail right next to it makes it the perfect place for any runner looking for hills or a flat surface. The park also features several paths along the main route and a large body of water perfect for exploring and events. It is well maintained and kept very clean. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area !

Great natural park with some unique things. Has a good sized creek running thru it that is pretty and people hang out on the rocks. Also a small waterfall, rocks, bridges and stuff that are good for pictures. Disc golf course is nice with an active club and 18 holes. The mountain bikers have multiple well maintained trails. Great place for taking walks and jogs also.

Flatrock park is a nice quiet area in town that has good bit of different terrains for all sorts of interest. Whether you like mountain biking, jogging or just being outdoors, flatrock has something for everyone. Park is pretty clean and not usually super crowded. Very nice park.
