A day outdoors
If you prefer to spend your Mother’s Day in a more low-key way, consider getting outdoors at some of the local parks and green spaces to walk, relax or bring a picnic from home.
Autrey Mill Nature Preserve & Heritage Center in Johns Creek is a peaceful 46-acre preserve with a visitor center, farm museum, historic village, hiking trails, picnic tables (and swings) and wildlife. Admission is free.
Jones Bridge Park in Peachtree Corners is a 30-acre park set alongside the Chattahoochee River. There are walking paths, playgrounds, a sand volleyball court, pavilions, restrooms, open green space, grills and waterside picnic tables.
The 21-acre Peachtree Corners Town Center offers a large Town Green area behind the shops and restaurants. That space features a splash pad, playgrounds, small dog park, walking paths, café tables, covered pavilions, a memorial garden and more.
Parks in Norcross, including Betty Mauldin, Lillian Webb and Thrasher Park offer plenty of space to rest and relax or roam and explore. Each has its own attractions, including benches and picnic tables, shade trees, walking paths and (at Lillian Webb) a three-tiered fountain and kid-friendly splash pad.
Parks in Johns Creek, including Newtown, Cauley Creek, Shakerag and the recently opened Boardwalk at Town Center feature walking paths, nature trails, playgrounds, fields, picnic pavilions, water overlooks and community amenities in beautiful, shaded surroundings.
A special getaway
One final thought is to gift your mom a retreat experience that she can enjoy with you or on her own. One to consider is the Ageless Riding Retreat for Women coming up June 18–21 at Southern Cross Guest Ranch in Madison, Georgia.
Book the getaway and enjoy a three night vacation experience designed specifically for “re-riders and mature equestrians.” The all-inclusive retreat includes gentle yoga classes, workshops on equestrian wellness and mindfulness, arena sessions and trail rides. Book by calling 706-342-8027 or emailing mail@southcross.com.
