Overview & Suitability

Aviation Park Parking is a dedicated, paved surface parking lot with approximately 60 spaces serving Aviation Park, a 3-acre public park in Kennesaw, Georgia. Positioned right next to the Cobb County International Airport runway, this lot is perfectly suited for families, plane spotters, and outdoor enthusiasts. The facility is designed to accommodate standard passenger cars, SUVs, and standard passenger vans, with designated handicap-accessible spaces available. Due to its size and layout, the lot is not designed to accommodate oversized motorhomes, heavy RVs, or commercial vehicle parking.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

The parking lot is situated at the corner of Barrett Lakes Boulevard and Cobb Place Boulevard, offering straightforward ingress and egress. As an open-air surface lot, there are no overhead clearance height restrictions, making it ideal for taller consumer vehicles or cars fitted with bike racks. The layout features standard-sized parking stalls and standard driving lanes, allowing for easy navigation, though the lot can become tight during peak visitation hours such as weekends and holidays.

Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking

Parking at this facility is entirely free. There are no ticketing kiosks, mobile apps, or pay-on-arrival requirements. Spaces are available strictly on a first-come, first-served basis, and pre-booking is neither available nor required. Visitors looking to utilize the park's airplane-wing-themed pavilion must make a reservation in advance through Cobb County Parks, but please note that this reservation does not guarantee or reserve a dedicated parking space in the lot.

Security & Amenities

The lot is equipped with park lighting to ensure visibility during early morning and late afternoon hours. While there is no dedicated security guard or active gate system, the area is well-traveled and regularly patrolled by local authorities. Adjacent park amenities include:

• Clean restrooms styled after an airport control tower
• Water fountains for both visitors and pets
• A Town Center Bike Share station
• Enclosed STEM-themed aviation playground
• Dog waste stations for pet owners

Strategic Alternative

Aviation Park Parking serves as an excellent starting point and strategic alternative parking hub for users of the Noonday Creek Trail, as the park lies directly midpoint along the paved trail system. Additionally, it offers a convenient and complimentary park-and-bike option for those wishing to explore the Town Center area without having to navigate crowded retail parking decks.
