Y'know, i've passed Bryson park while taking Lawrenceville highway probably a good 60, 70 times before I finally paid it a visit today. Bryson park it's a very nice and well maintained park. I didn't see one stray piece of trash on any of the grounds, and for a public park, that's saying something, so kudos for that. Bryson sits on 72 acres, and they take advantage of the space, as you can find a large basketball court (outdoor), volley ball court with sand, two soccer fields, a children's play area, football field, and several park benches, grills, and a multi purpose paved trail that meandered around the park. There's also three different restroom areas that are all fairly nice, and I can't forget the pavilions that can be found at the park. There are a couple of different parking lots but around 11 am, the entire park was practically empty, with me being the only car there for quite a while, although it was a Monday morning and smoke from the N. GA fires were just starting to float on in, so I can understand that. There were a few things I didn't like about the park. The trails, while maintained, had no markers along them, so you had no concept of how far, or where I was going. Turns out it wasn't that far (one half mile from the park's website), but i'd have liked to have known. I also looked for a general park map, and i'm not saying it's not there, but if it is, they sure hid it well, because it definitely was not along the trail. Someone mentioned safety in their review if finding themselves alone, and i'm a guy, but as the paved trail went deeper into the woods, with no idea of where I was going, I was on high alert. The trails were large enough for a bike to navigate around people, and hills kept the trails entertaining. Finding water fountains that worked were hit or miss. Some worked, most didn't, and most of the fields were locked down, although that may be temporary. All in all, Bryson Park is a welcome edition to the Gwinnett parks, that while small, definitely can hold its own, and likely is packed in the summer time. But it's still a nice park when you have it all to yourself as well.

The longer trail, about 1/2 mile long.

See all

Totally cliché, but I'm going to daringly say that Henderson Park has something for everyone. When…read moreI was there, I observed a kids soccer game, picnickers, hikers, dogs being walked by their owners, Girl Scouts having a meeting, fisherpeople, photoshoots, children playing, birthday parties, and people just chilling by the lake. Seriously, that's nearly everyone who wants to be outside! Regarding hiking, the trails are not marked very clearly. The map doesn't show all the turnoffs, and it gets confusing. Maybe it's this way to give you a sense of adventure? At least it's tough to get really lost since you're often within sight of houses or the road. Beautiful woods! As for restrooms, there was a porta potty in the parking lot adjacent to the playground by Lake Erin, and the map indicates that there are other restrooms in Henderson Park too. Speaking of maps, I might recommend a quick peek at one before you go since the park can be accessed from different roads (Henderson and Livsey). Didn't get to explore the other side of the park with the native plant and wildlife walk this trip but next time!

When the shelter in place order began, I looked for places to hike that were not too far from home…read more I came across Henderson Park and decided to give it a try. This is a great neighborhood park. If I lived nearby, I'd take a walk here every chance I could. In addition to the trails, there are athletic fields, a kids play area and a great wide deck where people can look out at the lake or eat a nice lunch. There is a lot of parking and the park itself is well-maintained. I was able to find a map of the park trails online, and it was helpful but trail maps aren't perfect. I tried to walk as many of the trails as I could, but I was turned around a lot. We'd also had a lot of rain prior to my visit so a lower trail path by the lake was flooded. There is a small waterfall in the park, and I think I saw it but I'm not sure. There were a lot of rock formations in the creeks/streams, and none were labeled. I went to Henderson Park with a friend who needed to use the bathroom. The main bathrooms are located on the west end of the park by the soccer fields. On the east end of the park, there are port-a-potties. There are no bathrooms near the kids park which was a surprise and why I mention where the bathrooms are located. Overall, I'm glad that I gave Henderson Park a visit. The people who live nearby are lucky to have it.
