Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is a great place to spend the day enjoying a wide range of activities. And with the amazing weather that Georgia has seen recently, now is a good time to get outside and enjoy nature.

Imagine waking up early and taking the family to the park. Start out the morning with a short hike while looking for wildlife. You can even take pictures for a photo album or scrapbook. After getting a feel for the surroundings, why not take a tour of one of three battlefield areas? The Visitor Center provides information about the battlefield as well as the battle that took place there, making this a great learning experience.

After your battlefield tour, you can picnic at several areas that include spots for grilling. If you’d rather grab lunch at a restaurant, Marietta Square is nearby with places that offer a wide variety of foods.

In addition to the normal activities, Kennesaw Mountain Park has many events throughout the year that provide great opportunities for education and fun. And what better way to enjoy all the upcoming activities than by living right next to the park? Several Traton Homes communities, including Paper Chase Farm, Rockford Township and Gates at Parkside Village, are all close to Kennesaw Mountain Park and several fine shopping, dining and entertainment destinations.

For more information on the homes in these superbly located communities, visit the Traton Homes website.
