Sykes Park

Sykes Park, one of East Point’s larger outdoor parks, is surrounded by trees so it is private enough to host your game or practice, but also large enough for groups to host picnics and social outings. The Sykes Trails includes a central loop of hybrid flow and cross-country trails ranging from beginner to intermediate in difficulty with advanced spurs mixed throughout.

Sykes Park, while only 40 acres is a trail builder’s dream with old-growth trees, large rock gardens, and massive granite boulders, some as large as 8′ in height and 10′ in diameter that consumes most of the park. These rock formations are not only visually stunning, but they will serve as the backbone of an advanced system of trail spurs from the main loop. Think of it as an urban Pisgah. These advanced spurs allow riders to complete two to three loops while keeping your day on the trails feeling fresh and never dull.

Sykes Park also includes a pump track and a couple of skills areas filled with a variety of rock formations to allow even the most novice rider the practice they need to hit our advanced spurs sooner rather than later. Park hours are from sunrise to sunset. Park amenities include grills, basketball courts, one playground, restroom facilities, shelters (pavilions), and tennis courts.
