    bathroom toddler seating area

    I love this park so much. The CLEANEST park around, the bathrooms are sparkling. My favorite part was the little seat you can put your little one in so you can actually use the restroom in piece. The equipment is fun and safe.

    This is one of my favorite parks to go walking. I luv luv luv the scenery! There are several bridges, waterways, lakes, and if your lucky you will see some baby deer. George Pierce Park has miles upon miles of scenic paved and non-paved trails. From George Pierce Park you can take the greenway to connect to Martin Farms trail which then connects to Suwanee Creek park. Note: the trail that connects the 3 parks is not a loop. I believe it's more than 6 miles from one end to the other end. So be mindful you will have to walk back to where you started.

    Highlight: If you want an escape to another world- felt like swampy areas of Florida, then this is the place to go! It is an assuming park right past downtown Suwanee that boasts of recreational areas, a lovely greenway, trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and multipurpose area. It is great for wildlife observation- featuring deer, beavers, herons, birds, turtles etc. It's great for a walk, friendly to dogs, learn about nature, and escape from the hustle and bustle around your world :) Greenway---I came here twice in one day- that's how amazed I was! I went once in the morning with my nature loving friend. Drive all the way to the very end of the park- yes it is super deep, and you'll hit the green way. Park there and enter the trail. You will pass by swampy woodlands that look like beaver lodgings. If you come around 7:00 p.m you can observe beaver feeding time. Evenings are also great for deer spotting and bird feeding time. If you continue, you'll come to a lovely marshland area with trails cutting through and if you go around the woods, you will encounter an overlook over this swampy area. For nature lovers, this is a treat. I felt like I was in the Wakadahootchee swamplands in South Florida- I can't believe I was here in Suwanee, GA. This is also a great place for educational purposes. I brought another dear friend later in the day and we went tree identifying. There is something majestic to see the tulip trees, beeches, and sweet gum overhead shade creating a silence around you.It makes the walk cooling, bathing shadows of blues, purples, and greens especially as you approach sunset. If you walk to the end of the greenway, you will encounter a playground- my friend and I went to the swings there for a bit. It was a lovely day. This trail is bike friendly, pet friendly, and great for small children. Although there is some invasive species around (inevitable), it is nice to be able to identify many native species. Much of the land is undisturbed and it is lovely to see so many hardwoods as the primary shade in the area.

    This is a very nice park with two separate covered picnic table pavilions with grills available for public use (unless they are reserved) by the pond area. I didn't have a chance to scout of the entire area, but the trails seemed serene and shaded. There is also a nice and well maintained playground and the bathrooms were in good condition.

    We parked at the last parking lot at George Pierce Park and got on the nature trail. We seen a deer in the water and lots of Canadian Geese. It was so pretty. Great place for a great walk with the dog.

    This is a really awesome park nestled off Buford Highway between Suwanee and Sugar Hill. The park has the Suwanee greenway run between it and the Suwanee Town Center as well as in developed areas to the back of the park. Basketball courts, football fields and baseball diamonds this park is much larger than it appears. They have a good amount of walking trails and several play areas for younger kids. One of the play areas is connected to a covered pavilion and a cute little lake that has a paved area to walk around. We had a birthday party here and found it was a great spot with lots of parking right when you enter the park. Gwinnet county parks rock and this one is proof of why!

    This is my favorite park. It has a little bit of everything. The playground is a little tricky to find, especially in the summer when all the leaves block your view. Park in the very first parking lot on the right and follow the trail to the left of the parking lot to get to it. It's a pretty basic playground, but still fun for toddlers. I've been there many times, and have yet to see it crowded. In my opinion, the best trail at George Pierce is Ivy Creek. Follow the road all the way to the last parking lot to get to the trail head. It is all boardwalk and cement. Very easy to take a stroller on. Goes over and around the wetlands. Always something cool to see; turtles, fish, frogs, cranes, ducks, geese, deer, etc. The trail feeds into Suwanee Greenway (also a great trail) for the ambitious, or those with longer legs and more energy than a 4 and 2 year old.

    My granddaughter & I had a blast! I love that it's covered!

    My granddaughter & I fell in love with this park! Loved the covered playground. There was so much to do. We will defiantly be going back!

    My oldest son, Christian practice and plays soccer and T-Ball here. The park is kept up and very clean. There's a lot of activities here for all ages to do. For example they have basketball courts, ponds, playgrounds, picnic area, baseball field, soccer field and many more. It's a great park to enjoy a relaxing evening or just having a family day.

    We play baseball there. We like baseball. Baseball is fun. It's not boring. If you say it's boring, we aren't friends.

    Ask the Community - George Pierce Park

    Is there a bike path from George Pierce Park to Suwanee Town Center? We are thinking about getting lunch during the day after we ride the Suwanee Creek Greenway. Thank you!

    Yes, the trails at GP are connected to the Greenway so you can start at GP and end up a the Town Center.

The facilities remain well kept and the snack bar has returned to being open post-Covid. The facility runs a variety of basketball and volleyball programs. Over time, the quality of the program has been in decline while costs increase. The focus on conditioning and playing through practice still prevails and is a good thing. Game play lacks play structure and is more run and gun. The costs continue to escalate not just for being on a team, but door costs have doubled with some tournaments topping $15 a day. They also charge $5 to park for your own home court for many tournaments. Lastly, the programs we've been in seem to cater to those who pay for the most programs. Hard to see if there is any different criteria as playing time seems to dramatically fluctuate for no reason. Having paid coaches for travel ball is a plus.

One staff member even told us that corporate "doesn't care" about our monthly Signature membership, and the manager bluntly said they don't care about our input.

This kind of retaliation against loyal members who speak up is completely unacceptable. After being loyal members for over 20 years, our family is heartbroken and disappointed.

They have kept the facility looking fresh. The food is still tasty, though I wouldn't complain if the price was decreased by about 10%. However, the main thing I noticed was how nice and engaging the staff has been. They have been very helpful and encouraging! It is not cheap but I think the price is now worth it.
