I do enjoy the Lilburn City Park as it is close to where I live now and the thing I really like the…read moremost is that they just redid the playground. If you have kids, this is a big plus. They have a nice field in the center of the park for playing sports with your kids, sometimes you will see people playing soccer or Frisbee. Throughout the year they do have festivals and different events here at the park and I must say it is nice that they have the Agavero Cantina Parkside (Mexican restaurant) that has been now for two years. They just updated their patio. Overall this is a nice park. They do not have any tennis courts as they were taken out to increase parking spots, but they do have a nice multipurpose trail for those who like to bike. In total, the trail is about 10K if you do an entire loop on both sides. Overall, if you live nearby, this is a great park. If you do not live near this area, then there are much larger parks with more to offer in Gwinnett County. [Review #603] (29th Review of 2019)

This park boasts great walk/riding trails, large expansive green space, and just the best kid's play area. Now this play set is average in size and boasts a small and larger kid set, but the reason it's awesome is the kids! We were there for about an hour and the kids had all made friends, organized a zombie tag game between themselves and were having a blast. Sweet parents chatted together and it made me feel so good to hear the giggling sound of kids playing together! We will be back for sure.

The water feature and fountain in the large dog area were out of order. Also along the back fence, a tree has fallen across the fence causing damage and if a dog seemed inclined, could jump the fence. Thankfully, ours wasn't interested but we kept a watchful eye just in case. Otherwise, there was ample seating for humans and plenty of shade/sun areas. I also appreciated the double gate which helped manage coming and goings.

Shade is hard to come by in the middle of a hot Atlanta day - so, if you don't want to die from a heat stroke, come equipped with a tent or something. The main attraction is a splash pool that kids just go ga-ga over. There is pretty good parking options available, with just a short walking distance to the splash pool, even shorter to the playground. Apparently, this is a predominantly Latino neighborhood, judging by the dialects used by kids and adults alike. There are some peddling their wares (food, drink etc.), but they are not particularly intrusive. We had a fun and hot afternoon!

The bathrooms used to be filthy every time I would come in from 2020-2022. I would see workers cleaning them after 12 noon generally, but I just always happened to catch them when they were still pretty grimy. Recently, I went in this past Friday, January 27th, and the ladies' room was actually spotless compared to the other times I've seen it! Maybe I just caught it on a good day, maybe it was too cold for people to be out soiling it with heavy use, or maybe they've employed more workers to this park in the new year, but in any case it was a pleasant surprise. That's really the only gripe I've had historically with this park in the 3 years that I've been living in Norcross. Briscoe, Shorty Howell, Alexander, and Bethesda are probably some of my favorite Gwinnett parks just to name a few for various reasons, but Graves Park still trumps many Dekalb or Fulton parks in terms of cleanliness, overall safety, accessibility, parking, walking trails, scenery, and available picnic areas/ bathrooms. A lot of people love Graves for the dog park section. I haven't had a dog since my childhood, but it seems like a good place to let your furry friends run if you need the space. I personally like this park for the trails. There is a longer looping option through the woods and a shorter loop around volleyball/ tennis courts and the backside of the playground. All the patrons here are pretty friendly that I've encountered. If you need to get out of busy soul crushing traffic on Chamblee-Tucker Road or Jimmy Carter, come stretch your legs at Graves Park - a nice little getaway from the madness.

Not sure if there's another entrance I missed, the park looked fairly large on the map but I walked around the area by the pool and didn't find much structure. The trails I did come across didn't seem very well maintained and I honestly felt uncomfortable being out there alone while halfway through a pregnancy, too many fallen branches, stumps, steep inclines and very, very narrow passageways. The pool itself looks a bit gross, dirty and uncovered with broken cement and dirt around from some sort of construction or renovation. They are building a playground at another far end of the park, so maybe it'll be in better shape one day.. but there's not much to it now.

The dog park is sectioned off for large and small dogs. My review is based on the large dog park. Half of the park is filled with gravel makes the area cleaner than most after a rainy day. The other half is like a forested area with dirt. On hot afternoons, many dog owners and their pups gather in that area to keep cool. PROS: - 3 water stations - Multiple poop bag dispensers that always stocked in my experience - Lots of benches throughout the park - Wash off area outside the park - Almost always occupied with dogs throughout the day - Gravel - Convenient walking trail entrance adjacent to park - Well lit parking lot and park CONS: - Some days, there's more poop on the ground than others. Not too bad though. - The wash off area can be cleaner - Not close enough to home :( Parking is plentiful. I never have trouble finding parking unless there's a festival/event going on in the park. ** Note: Dog park is closed from 9am-12pm first Wednesday each month for cleaning** Bravo to the Brook Run community/volunteers who contribute to keeping this park clean and well stocked.

The families that I've met have been nice and the dogs seem to get along. The area is pretty large so you have to keep up with your pet. There is a water fountain for the dogs with a fountain on the opposite side to fill bowls or bottles. When you first come in the park there are two gates to go through before entering the park. There are also a couple of picnic tables and several benches to sit throughout the park.

Being a new dog owner, I'm not sure what qualifies a Dog Park as 5-Stars. I've only been to a few…read more(all here in Gwinnett county), and each was equally nice. Harbins Dog Park has three large fenced areas. One for small dogs, one for families with mixed sizes and one really large area for big dogs. The openings to each area have two gates to ensure your dog doesn't make a break for it and the small dog area has playground equipment for the little fellas! All have a shaded sitting area for owners, doggie water fountain, plastic bag dispensers and garbage cans. There is also a paved track that loops around the football field and doggie park. What makes Harbins Dog Park particularly nice is its location. A secluded area on the opposite side of the football field with its own parking. On days where there are no other dogs, we find ourselves watching as cars pull up to see if our little rascal will have a small playmate or if its a larger dog... and he watches too! We either say, "Yaaay, here comes a friend to play!" and he goes bananas or "Sorry, no playmate" and he shrugs it off as if to say "oh well!" I swear he seems to understand! Is that weird or is that a dog park thing? I'm so new to all of this I have no idea what's normal. NOTE: There are reports (on the park Facebook page) that some owners dogs have been aggressive and the owner did not manage their aggression, but so far in 8 visits there have been no serious incidents that I've witnessed. We did have a little weenie dog try to attack our little guy just seconds after walking through the gate, but the owner was quick to react. Downhill from the doggie and football area you'll find a toddler playground, open fields for family sports, restrooms, and a 1 mile paved loop trail. Overall, a very quiet little area for those who don't care to walk the more populated area of Harbins Park just up the road. 2018/67
