Silver Comet Trail, other Cobb County parks to reopen this weekend

COBB COUNTY — Cobb County will reopen trails and “passive” parks in the county beginning this weekend.

Effective Saturday, April 25, the county will open the Silver Comet Trail, Noonday Creek Trail, Bob Callen Trail and other parks.

The “passive parks” are those without amenities like playgrounds, ballparks, soccer fields, or tennis centers. The passive parks allow for more social distancing under public health guidelines.
