Milam Park was established in 2012 and it shows. Upon first entry to the park area, you’ll notice the pool to your left, followed by the tennis courts, dog park, soccer field area and finally the playground. There is another soccer field area at the rear of the park. We find Milam Park to be always on the quieter side with the swing area always being popular.
Milam Park
The playground is divided into 3 areas – an area for younger children ages 2-5, an area for children ages 5-12 and swings.
- The playground for the younger children has small slides, wall activities like “Find your Name in the ABCs”, musical instruments like drums and bells, and a large children’s fire engine that can accommodate many children.
- The playground for children ages 5-12 features many large slides, climbing wall, wall activities and metal climbing items like monkey bars.
- There are several kinds of swings including 2 infant swings.

The Milam Park pool boasts the following: zero entry, 4 lap lanes, wading pool and several water features for play. It is open between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Residents of Clarkson enjoy a discount while it still remains inexpensive for non-residents. The pool can also be reserved for parties.
There is a fenced-in dog park directly next to the playground area.
At the time of our visit, it had recently rained and the city of Clarkston was seeding new grass near the playground for the younger children. Milam Park is located at 3867 Norman Road, Clarkston, GA 30021.
