Metro North Park is located in east Cobb near the intersection of Johnson Ferry Road and Paper Mill Road.

Most of the fields are natural grass. Field 3 has a modern artificial turf surface that mimics real grass. Turf shoes or cleats both work on field 3. The TOPS field has a special padded carpet surface, but doesn’t mimic real grass. Turf shoes or sneakers work best on the TOPS field.

Metro North Park has a clubhouse with a concession stand and restroom facilities. The fields do not have bleacher seats, so spectators should bring chairs. This is a private facility with a “no pets” policy.
