Barton Memorial Park is located along Meadowbrook and spans over 44 acres of property. At one point, the site was an interest of private developers. However, City leaders felt that the harmony of our residential community would better be served by maintaining the 44 acres as recreation or green space. Barton Memorial Park offers a natural setting with amenities for the citizens of Morrow.

The park layout was designed by Ernest Duffey who grew up in Morrow as well as served as Mayor and Councilman.
