The Arizona Avenue fields are located in Atlanta, a couple of miles east of the downtown area. The site has portable restroom facilities and a small concession stand.
Fields were converted from natural grass to modern artificial turf during summer, 2019.
Driving directions come from a mix of Internet sources and have not yet been verified by our maps editor.
You’ll be on high speed, high traffic roads in the downtown Atlanta area. We recommend you setup a driver / navigator team. Your navigator can be a family member or a smart phone app. (“Sari” earned an A+ for her navigation skills on our most recent visit during the fall, 2022 season).
