Overview

Henderson Park is a 124-acre municipal facility in Tucker, Georgia, serving as a hub for both passive recreation and organized athletics. The park features multiple synthetic turf fields designed for soccer and football, alongside dedicated baseball and softball diamonds. A significant portion of the land is comprised of natural surface hiking trails that wind through wooded areas and follow creek beds. The park includes a community garden program that provides residents with rentable plots for horticultural use. Recreational infrastructure includes tennis courts and playgrounds positioned near central parking areas. Much of the site serves as a green buffer for the surrounding residential and commercial districts. Maintenance and programming are managed by the City of Tucker Parks and Recreation department.

Insider tips

Bring insect repellent during the summer months, as the wooded trail areas can be humid and buggy.

Check the City of Tucker field status website before arrival if visiting for athletics, as turf fields may close during heavy rain.

Utilize the paved perimeter paths if you have strollers or require ADA-accessible walking surfaces.

What to avoid

Attempting to hike the natural surface trails immediately after heavy rain, as they become muddy and prone to erosion.

Etiquette

Leash your dogs at all times and pack out all trash, as there are limited bins on the deeper trail sections.
