Henderson Park is a scenic park located in Tucker, Georgia, known for its natural beauty and recreational amenities. It covers over 120 acres and offers a variety of outdoor activities for visitors, including hiking trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and sports fields. It has fields for soccer and other sports, often used for community games and leagues. The park also features a beautiful lake and wooded areas, making it a popular spot for nature lovers, families, and outdoor enthusiasts.
There are six miles of walking and hiking trails that are marked with blue, white and red blazes and wind through the woods and around the lake, providing a peaceful retreat. Roughly two miles of these trails circle Lake Erin which is situated between a playground and some soccer fields in the Park. The trails are well maintained and surprisingly wooded for this urban area. They make for an easy and enjoyable hike whether you are solo, with the family, or with a pet. If you are pressed for time, the hike around Lake Erin is the most pleasant, but all the trails are worth a look if you are in the area.
