Upcoming Science ATL Events

Discovery Walk: South Peachtree Creek Trail

April 5, 2025

Science is all around us, often hidden in everyday places - where we live, play, and walk. On this guided Discovery Walk in collaboration with DeKalb County Parks, we'll walk through Mason Mill Park and the South Peachtree Creek Trail and uncover some of this secret science on a family-friendly route with ten intriguing science stops. Join the author of this Discovery Walk, Ranger Jonah McDonald, for this guided science adventure!

Well behaved dogs are welcome so long as they remain leashed in accordance with local regulations.
