Memorial Park

Memorial Park is located in the Buckhead suburb, which is found north of Atlanta. To reach Memorial Park, you need to take Interstate 75 North out of the city (Interstate 75 is one of the longest north-south Interstates in North America, as it continues into Canada, albeit by a different name). Memorial Park is a larger, 69 acre area of Atlanta's Memorial Park, and it has been around since in foundation in 1948 (many returning veterans from WWII settled down here at the conclusion of the war).

As it is part of Buckhead, children living in Memorial Park head off to the local Buckhead schools, unless parents chose to send their children off to private schools, which is a popular trend in the area. There are plenty of parks and recreational areas in the surrounding neighborhood, so children are able to play, along with take up sporting activities.

The shopping and other attractions are rather lax, as you need to head further south to really find any sort of real shopping, outside of the standard grocery stores. The closer you get to Atlanta on Interstate 75, the more shopping and restaurant opportunities you are going to find, and thanks to its close proximity, you don't have to travel far.
