Where Georgia Birding Begins

Wyomia Tyus Olympic Park (Ernie’s Trail)

This beautiful regional park of 164 acres was named after Olympic Gold medalist Wyomia Tyus, who is from Spalding County. The park features 2 large picnic pavilions, which overlooks a 3-acre lake, a 7-field soccer complex and a 5-field baseball complex. Although the park can get busy with athletic activities, the natural wooded, wetland, and open habitats foster great bird diversity.
