Chasing Waterfalls at Vickery Creek Park

Discover my journey at Vickery Creek Park, a stunning transformation of a factory mill into a vibrant local park perfect for relaxation and recreation.

Growing up in New England, I have a soft spot for old brick mill buildings. They all have a unique character and a fascinating history. Most brick mill buildings are situated by the water, as they were generally factories and water helped power these factories. However, as the factories moved elsewhere, many of these buildings remained and grew to be abandoned eyesores. However, in recent years, these buildings have been repurposed into modern living and working spaces. What once was factories is now apartments, offices, schools, breweries and local parks. In the shadow of Atlanta sits a glorious peaceful park that once was a bustling mill that has now been transformed into a stunning oasis where visitors can go hiking, walking, and even getting a swim in the Big Creek.
