About Fulwood Park

Fulwood Park is Tifton’s central city park, extending along North Tift Avenue between Eighth and Twelfth streets. The official city facility page lists a half-mile lighted concrete walking trail, picnic pavilions, two playgrounds, a dog park, and a disc-golf course.

The City’s current FAQ publishes daily hours of 6 a.m.-9 p.m. and gives 1001 North Tift Avenue as the park address. Public Works handles shelter reservations and reports about water fountains, bathrooms, and playground equipment.

City planning documents describe Fulwood as a 28-acre public park originally donated by Tifton founder Captain Henry Harding Tift on the condition that it remain public, free, and available. Recent city work added park, playground, security, and stage improvements, but event-specific closures or reservations can still change access to particular areas.
