Parks in Lawrenceville
Alexander Park
Ponds and looping, stroller-friendly paths. Open fields sit beside tree-lined walking trails, a disc golf course and well-kept playgrounds. The parking is easy and the routes are wide, which suits morning walkers, and the covered pavilions work for weekend meetups.
Collins Hill Park
Ball fields, two playgrounds and a greenway connector. Bring bikes or scooters for younger riders, or walk a relaxed lap before a youth game on the diamonds.
Rhodes Jordan Park
Minutes from downtown, with a lake loop, fishing spots, play areas and open lawns for picnics. It pairs well with lunch or a treat on the square.
Parks a short drive away
Rabbit Hill Park (Dacula)
Sand volleyball, wide walking paths, dog park space and a large playground make this one work for mixed-age groups. Pack a ball and plan to stay a while.
Little Mulberry Park (Auburn)
Rolling hills, lake views and miles of well-marked trails. Choose between easier paved routes and natural-surface trails under the trees.
Bogan Park (Buford)
Loop trails, a pond overlook and a playground. Bring the stroller and snacks for an easy afternoon outside.
Downtown greens
Lawrenceville Lawn & Gwinnett Bicentennial Plaza
These neighboring spaces host concerts and festivals through the year, with wide-open fields where kids can run while parents relax. Stroll the history walk at the Bicentennial Plaza, then head to the Lawn for sunset playtime.
Along the Chattahoochee
When the weather is right, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area has gentle riverside hikes, overlooks and, when permitted and safe, wading or paddling. Check current conditions and follow posted guidance.
Planning a park day
- Pack smart: water, hats, sunscreen, bug spray and a small first-aid kit.
- Wear the right shoes: closed-toe shoes for playgrounds and natural trails.
- Beat the heat: in summer, go early in the morning or late in the afternoon, and look for shaded loops.
- Know before you go: park hours and amenities can change by season. Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation posts updates.
Many area parks have wide paved paths, ADA-friendly parking and inclusive play features. For a group with a range of ages, pair a short stroller loop with playground time and a simple picnic.
