Winnona Park is a wonderful neighborhood inside the City of Decatur limits, just outside the campus of Agnes Scott College. It is less than one mile from Downtown Decatur, and is only a few blocks from the thriving Oakhurst Village business district, which has been experiencing a dramatic resurgence in the past few years, and boasts new shops, restaurants and other businesses. The area is convenient to Emory University and the CDC as well as other nearby intown neighborhoods including Candler Park and Virginia-Highland.
There are lots of recreational options nearby! The Path -- Atlanta's enormously popular multi-use urban trail -- is just steps away! Using the path you can conveniently jog or bike throughout much of the city and all the way out to Stone Mountain! McKoy Park, an excellent neighborhood park, is only a few blocks away. It is meticulously maintained by the City of Decatur Parks Department, and features a swimming pool, a baseball field with bleachers, a covered picnic pavilion with bathrooms, a wooded area with individual picnic tables, children's play areas, tennis courts and a basketball court. [More on Decatur Parks.] Also close by are: Oakhurst Park (City of Decatur), the Oakhurst Community Garden, and the Charlie Yates Public Golf Course (with driving range), which is operated in conjunction with the East Lake Golf Club -- home of the PGA Tour Championship.
