The Avalon

One of the newest areas in Alpharetta is the Avalon. Located in the heart of the city, Avalon is more than just a place to shop, see a movie, and eat. It’s the place to be. This upscale destination feels more like a town hang-out, with street lights, sidewalks, and fountains. Additionally, there is a central park space that can house musicians and convert to a picturesque skating rink during the holiday season. It’s home to residents, rental houses, and a full-service hotel.

There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy live music in Alpharetta. Set on 45 acres of wooded land in Alpharetta, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre provides a unique setting for music lovers. It’s a beautiful, park-like atmosphere for concertgoers to enjoy music surrounded by large heritage trees, plants and flowers. It seats 7,000 under a distinctive fan-shaped roof and another 5,000 on the lawn, under the stars.

Parks of Alpharetta

Green space has been well kept in the city, therefore, it provides many different types of parks for residents. Wills Park is Alpharetta’s largest park with fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a dog park, disc golf course, playgrounds, a recreation center, and an adjoining 50-acre Equestrian Center. The park has a full calendar of events and instructional programs throughout the year. The Big Creek Greenway is primarily a 12-foot wide concrete path that meanders through the deciduous woods along Big Creek. As a result, the 8-mile long greenway offers an ideal setting for walking, jogging, inline rollerblading, and biking.
