Lucky Shoals is located off Britt Road close to Jimmy Carter. I haven't been to Lucky Shoals in so many years. Back then, I used to come here to watch the guys play basketball. I vaguely remember it now. What brought me back is the walking trail that I never knew existed and wanted a change of scenery. Right before traffic gets busy, I decided to get there before the park gets packed. There were a handful of people there, either playing basketball or walking the trail. The trail is a 360 loop around the park. It's hilly and iOS yoir walking game. You could attempt to ru it but you may be out of breath by the time you get downhill. Another plus of the trail is it's shaded so you're away from the scorching sun and won't need your sunglasses. In the past besides coming for the basketball scenes, I also came for the picnic and bbq. I've read negative reviews about the unsafetiness at the park. If you want a good walking trail in a short amount of time, come. If not, head out to Camp Creek Greenway Trail in Lilburn. Lucky Shoals also offers classes in its building in the front. Definitely, go check it out. 32/2017

A beautiful morning walk

I visited Lucky Shoals Park on a beautiful November morning to get in a little pre-Thanksgiving exercise (as if that was going to make a big difference). Regardless, I wanted to enjoy the warm southern sun and check out what I've been told are "some of the best parks in the country (Gwinnett County)." I grabbed my iPod and hit the 1.14 mile paved trail, which loops around the perimeter of the park. I liked the variety of uphill and downhill twists and turns through the surrounding woods. I couldn't help but stop a couple of times to take some pictures of the nice trail and colorful foliage. There are also outdoor basketball courts, baseball fields, tennis courts and picnic pavilions, which I imagine are busy during the summer. After three laps, I left the trail went into the main complex building, which houses basketball and volleyball courts. Definitely a spacious and well maintained facility. I wish more municipalities put the time, effort and money into community gems like this.

Park is well maintained and clean. It has many facilities and my dog loves the 1.14 mile path with access to a small creek.

Great little walking loop. Pretty hilly and very pretty. Probably about a mile. We enjoyed very much.

My family came here during the holidays to check out the holiday lights and we had soooooo much…read morefun! I had no idea this was an annual thing and am happy that the city of Dunwoody does this and am definitely looking forward to next year's lights. While there were a ton of people, there was plenty of parking and I appreciated that there was an officer there to keep the flow of cars moving along. The park itself had several playgrounds and I loved they were padded. The kids had a blast on slides, swings and running around in the wide open space. The bathrooms were clean which always makes things even better. The kids had a blast playing with all the other kids and this is definitely a playground I'd come back to visit.

We played the disc golf course at Brook Run Park while our daughter was in a nearby class, and…read moreoverall we had a good time. The layout is fun and the park itself is beautiful, especially in the winter when the leaves are thin and you can actually see the baskets through the trees. That said, the course could really benefit from clearer signage. Several pads weren't well marked, and we even had to skip a hole because we couldn't figure out where it started or ended. Since we only had time to play about half the course, we found ourselves spending more minutes navigating than throwing. I can't imagine how tough it must be in the summer when everything is fully leafed out -- it's probably like searching for a needle in a haystack. Still, it's a solid course in a great park, and with better markings it could easily be a five‑star experience.

Since then, we've returned with our kid since he likes the playground and the area is just lovely to look at. Like many parks, there are trees and flowers (and the aforementioned playground). We've also seen people walking the trails and have yet to do that. But being about 15 minutes away from homebase, we will try them out soon. The pond with the fountain is really photogenic, in addition to the covered bridge and the open meadows. On the day we arrived for our photo session, it was a really warm autumn afternoon but I had the foresight to have our family sweat through our get-up so that we could use our photos for our Christmas cards. Looking through them now, I am amazed that they were all taken at this park because we got photos with very different backgrounds. We saw other people getting photos taken there too, so if you plan to do it, make sure to be patient because everyone wants to pose and stand in front of the pretty parts. Maybe you can find spots not as popular because honestly, the entire park is a looker.

It had 10+ long benches to sit. Clean and species. Pinckneyville Park and Soccer Complex is featuring a dog run and a pond plus multiple ball fields, a roller-hockey rink and a free-skate area. Convenient location, easy to get in and out. There is a hockey rink which is cement but not ice and a skate board area. Baseball and soccer fields for organized sports, and the arts center. Great trainers available for soccer in the weekends. Great park for walkers and very nice paved walking trails. Everywhere so greenery and fresh. Clean bathrooms, but parking near the soccer fields could be better. Lots of places to sit and relax. I wish they would take better care of the grass and have more water stations. They even have two separate dog parks, one for big breeds and the other for small. Awesome park with clean and well maintained. If I am again in this area will sure visit this park.

There's a small obstacle course area that's super cute. Lots of trees and bushes for your dog to sniff through. And most of the humans who come here are responsible and pick up after their dogs so you don't have to dodge land mines.
