Fairplay is a rural area in Douglas County with open spaces
The rural community of Fairplay, a census-designated place about 30 miles west of Atlanta in southern Douglas County, is a place where homebuyers can find large lots away from the noise of the city. “It’s open land, and a lot of people want to keep it that way,” says Bailey Bolton, a Fairplay resident of more than 20 years. “It has a country feel. I know my neighbors, and I have their numbers in case their animals get out.” The still-developing community does not have restaurants or shops to call its own, but several green spaces are close by, as are smaller cities like Douglasville, where Fairplay residents head for fun and excitement.
Fairplay residents can enjoy strolls through Douglasville's O'Neal Plaza.
Fairplay's Hawk Feather's Ranch is a haven for horse lovers, where stables and riders are part of daily life.

Access to neighboring cities, but watch out for animals on roads
While there is not much traffic in Fairplay, residents should keep their eyes on the road. “You’ll find some deer and armadillos, so you have to watch out,” Bolton says. Georgia State Route 5 runs east of the community. The West End of Atlanta is around 30 miles east, as is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Bolton says she ventures into the city a few times a year for big concerts and special events. Tanner Medical Center Villa Rica, an acute care hospital with more than 50 beds, is close to 10 miles away. Like other parts of Northwest Georgia, the area has a moderate risk of tornadoes and landslides caused by heavy rain.
Shops and eateries in Douglasville and Villa Rica
Residents have to drive to neighboring cities for shopping and dining. Bolton says people quickly get used to the travel. In Villa Rica, about 10 miles away, Evan’s Barbeque Company is known for its signature fried eggrolls filled with smoked pork, and Gabe’s Downtown is a Creole-style bistro. It is also home to a Publix Super Market. In Douglasville, also about 10 miles away, Fin & Feathers serves upscale chicken and seafood entrees. The area also has Target and several other big-box stores.
Residents in Fairplay go to Cinema Tavern for drinks and TV viewing at the bar.

Athletic facilities, riding lessons and hiking trails
Fairplay Park has baseball and softball fields, basketball courts and a playground. Hawk Feather Ranch offers horse riding lessons. Other green spaces sit close to the area. Dog River Trails, next to Dog River Public Library, has three options for hikes, with one trail leading to Flybow Creek. It also has a disc golf course. Bolton, who works as a library assistant, says the trails get moderate use despite being a bit out of the way. St. Andrews Golf and Country Club has an 18-hole public course and is renovating its facilities. There are several churches in and around the area to visit. In Douglasville, the GreyStone Amphitheater hosts concerts and other special events.
