Peachtree City is a planned city of about 39,000 people in Fayette County, about 30 miles south of downtown Atlanta. Founded in 1959 as a master-planned community, it was designed around villages, lakes and woods, and it is best known for its network of more than 100 miles of multi-use paths that residents use to travel around town by golf cart, bike and on foot.
Golf carts are a way of life here: thousands are registered in the city, and the paths connect neighborhoods, schools, shops and parks through shady forest and across bridges and tunnels. Lake Peachtree, at the city's center, has a fountain, a boardwalk and a walking loop, and Lake Kedron and Lake McIntosh offer fishing and quiet water. The Fred, the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, hosts concerts and events through the warmer months.
Drake Field and the city's parks host sports and festivals, and Line Creek Nature Area protects woods and trails along the creek. Falcon Field, the city's airport, is home to a historic aircraft collection. Nearby Fayetteville has a historic courthouse square, and Trilith, a new town built around a major film studio, is a short drive away.
Peachtree City is famous for its network of about one hundred miles of multi-use paths, shared by golf carts, bikes and walkers, linking neighborhoods, schools, shops and lakes. Many residents drive carts instead of cars. Rent a golf cart or bike to explore, and follow posted rules at tunnels and crossings.
Lake Peachtree is a scenic lake near the center of Peachtree City, surrounded by paths, parks and the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater. It is popular for walking, fishing and small boats. Walk the paths around the lake at sunset, and grab food at the nearby restaurants afterward.
Lake Kedron is a smaller lake in the north of Peachtree City, with paths along its shore, fishing spots and a quiet residential setting. It is a peaceful place for a walk or bike ride. Combine it with a ride along the cart paths, and visit the nearby Kedron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center.
Lake McIntosh is a reservoir on Line Creek at the west edge of Peachtree City, with a park offering a fishing pier, kayak launch, walking trail and picnic areas. It is a calm spot for paddling. Bring your own kayak or canoe, and check park rules, as motorized boats are limited here.
The Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater is an outdoor concert venue by Lake Peachtree, hosting national and regional acts, tribute bands and community events in the warmer months. Lawn and seat options make it a relaxed night out. Many visitors arrive by golf cart, so plan for cart parking.
Line Creek Nature Area is a wooded preserve along Line Creek with trails, boardwalks and creek overlooks, home to birds, turtles and wildflowers. It is a quiet escape from busier parks. Trails are short and family friendly; wear shoes that can handle muddy patches after rain.
Drake Field is a Peachtree City recreation area with sports fields, a playground and walking paths, used for youth sports and community events. It is a handy spot for families with active kids. Reach it by golf cart path like many locals, and check the city's schedule for weekend tournaments.
The Kedron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center is a city recreation facility with indoor courts, fitness space and an outdoor pool complex with slides and splash areas. It is popular with families in summer. Check pool season dates and day pass prices, and arrive early on hot days to secure a shady spot.
The Avenue Peachtree City is an open-air shopping center with national stores, boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops in a walkable layout, reachable by golf cart path. It hosts seasonal events and holiday activities. Combine shopping with dinner, and use the dedicated golf cart parking spaces.
Peachtree City's Fourth of July celebration is one of the region's biggest, featuring a parade with decorated golf carts, a morning road race, concerts and fireworks over Lake Peachtree. Crowds come from across metro Atlanta. Claim a spot along the parade route early and bring water and sun protection.
