Thinking of Going on a Picnic?

Katy's Place - Pinewalk Subdivision
Alpharetta, GA
Thinking of going on a picnic and enjoying the summer?  Well, in Alpharetta, Pinewalk Residents need go no further than their own park:  Katy’s Place.   Katy’s Place is named for a little girl in our neighborhood who lost her battle with cancer over fifteen years ago.   She was just a toddler but brought a lot of joy to her family and everyone she met.   If you pack your picnic lunch you can put a blanket down, sit in the shelter under a roof, enjoy a wooden swing under the trees or just sit at the picnic table.   If you want to grill just start the charcoal or maybe put a few logs in the fire pit to toast marsh mellows.   After you eat your delicious meal of sweet tea, burgers or fried chicken, toasted marsh mellows, coleslaw, fresh water melon and a few cookies, you can just relax with a good book in the shade of Katy’s Place or possibly enjoy a good game of horse shoes.   Lots of people just bring a Frisbee down to throw.  If that doesn’t thrill you, you can play a game of tennis or just enjoy the neighborhood pool equipped with diving board.  As you can see by my pictures, It’s a great place  to picnic right around the block.
