The abundance of parks and schools in the community has resulted in a very family-friendly reputation.

Governance

Allied Gardens Recreation Center
The Allied Gardens Recreation Center was built in 1961 as a result of strong community organization and effort. At one time the site held two large radio towers that belonged to the Marietta Broadcasting Company. When the towers were re-located, the land was leased to the City. Soon after, the land was purchased and the recreation facility was built on it.
