FIELDS
Southside Park had been our home for 8 seasons, but exorbitantly high costs left us no choice but to pursue other, much less expensive fields. By saving well over half the cost of field rentals, we'll be able to commit more funds to our charities and the betterment of our league. We are grateful for the gracious host that Southside was and we won't forget where we started! These fields are only minutes from downtown Atlanta. And although they only offer two fields, they are premium condition. We are pleased to start a new partnership with Nickajack Park!
Dogs allowed! And most importantly, Nickajack Park allows dogs! Unlike Southside Park, Nickajack Park welcomes our doggies! PLEASE exercise common sense and good judgement when bringing your four-legged friend to the park! ALWAYS leash your pooch, do not leave it unattended, and clean up after it! This is incredibly exciting because our partnering animal charities can bring their lovable and adoptable friends for everyone to meet!
PLEASE know that that all Cobb County parks prohibit alcohol and glass containers.
SSL and our partnering charities will return to selling concessions, too! This is offers a great opportunity for our charities to raise more funds for their four-legged friends!
Nickajack Park
5500 Nickajack Park Road SE Mableton, GA 30126
As always, be sure to remove and secure all valuables in your vehicles. The park and league are not responsible.
