Southeast Clarke Park is the largest volunteer-built playground in Georgia. Its World of Wonder playground was constructed in 2004 as a labor of love by 1,500 volunteers. There is a special area designed for the safety of young children ages two to five called The Tot Lot, whose playground and the covered shelter are available for birthday parties. Wiggly Field, at Southeast Clarke Park, contains a dog park with one area for large dogs and one for small dogs. Finally, the 14,000-square- foot Skate Park of Athens was designed for skateboarders and BMX bikers. Prominent skateboarder Tony Hawk not only donated money to build the Skate Park, but visited the park in 2005 and 2010.
Friends of Southeast Clarke Park is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the park a wonderful place for kids and adults.
