It took me a minute to make it to this park because I had always associated this park to violence…read moreand I hate that for me. This park is beautiful! Probably my favorite park in Gwinnett this far. Plenty of gazebos and bathrooms if you want to have an outdoor event. Also plenty of parking throughout the park. They have tennis courts and a lot of other extracurricular activities and things you can sign up for. The park was still under construction when I went but as far as walking paths, the trails seem to be pretty short. I will definitely go back after construction is completed and then I would have a better idea. They are a lot of geese, ducks, and some other bird species but they seem to do a really good job of keeping the park clean especially from bird poop. I will definitely be back!

I have lived close to this park for years and not taken advantage of it. This year I had spine…read moresurgery and I need to walk and exercise for health benefits and the close proximity to my house made this the perfect place to begin my recovering walking outdoors. I love going there now especially in the evenings as it is the perfect close location to see beautiful sunsets. It has varied paths around the lake, around the pool area above and around the sports fields so you don't get bored walking. I love the fountain in the lake and the gazebo and all the birds that gather there. I wish the park area itself were bigger and not so close to a busy road as that takes away from the ambiance but Lenora Church Park has those features but the lake isn't nearly as pretty. I love watching the geese, the Muscovy and Mallard ducks and the shy blue heron who never lets me get a good picture of him. I notice all the birds love beautiful sunsets as much as I do and I have sat with them on the main lake taking pictures of them and watching as they slowly decide it is dark enough to get out as I imagine the youngest ones are being coaxed by mom to come on and get out of the water. My only issue is that the restrooms next to the lake keep getting vandalized and then locked and not repaired or even if they aren't vandalized they are being locked. That penalizes older folks like me who need access to facilities more often. Then yesterday I went and three separate restrooms were locked with no reason given why. If this is a staffing issue it should be addressed. If this is a safety issue as in there have been crimes committed and it is being done for safety then the park needs to notify the public. Otherwise if they keep the restrooms open I would give it a four star rating and five star if it were further from a busy road. I have lived in this area for 21 years and I hate that I waited till this last year to take advantage of something so close and I honestly love walking there otherwise. We have been using the pool as well every summer for 21 years. It needs repair. I understand they are adding a brand new complex that will include an indoor walking track and I am excited by that however the pool has had broken steps in the deep end and been rather dirty looking on the bottom especially last year. They also took away chairs years ago because of vandalism which again punishes the many for the actions of a few. The lifeguards seem to have less training as well throughout the years and enforce rules selectively and sometimes seem not to be paying attention at all to what's happening at the pool and seem bored. They often let people stay in the water on the side of the diving board after jumping off the diving board and no adults seem to be paying attention to whether they enforce rules or not or giving them guidance on how to enforce the rules. I don't say anything to the lifeguards anymore like I used to. I just pray no one gets hurt as they allow unsafe conditions to exist and are afraid to discipline pool goers for fear of looking uncool I guess. That is however their job and they should be supervised to do it correctly. The lifeguards also made people get out of the water fifteen minutes earlier than closing time. This year they made the adults as well as children get out for fifteen minutes every hour because they said they were understaffed and needed that to give breaks to the lifeguards. That's a ridiculous punitive rule for the paying public to have to go by. You should staff your pools so this isn't necessary. The other thing that bothered me is they hired armed guards to be at the pool this year. I know there have been shootings at the park but having armed guards and not knowing their training or whether or not they know how to deescalate situations was unnerving and I believe overkill. I would not place armed guards at a family public pool for any reason. This seems like it could escalate into violence or lead to someone getting shot by a security guard for no reason. The pool staff which were mainly kids seemed accustomed to them and liked them but for me that was just bad decision making by park staff. Unarmed guards if any guards at all who have a good rapport with police would be a better choice imo. Also if you are going to spend millions on new facilities,(which I am sure they are) please fix the pool,as it needs resurfacing and fixing of steps and fresh paint and new brightly colored plastic pieces that work in the kiddie pool, and other facilities like restrooms and exercise equipment throughout the park with some of that money as well.

It is a memorial for veterans that served/fought in all wars, I believe it might be veterans that have ties with Georgia. The park sits on a beautiful lake and features a water feature at the beginning of the park. The park was beautiful designed and features a really nice walk/loop with great scenic areas and benches, and the sound of nature was very calming and relaxing. At the tail end of the loop there is a beautiful memorial with names of service members. The walk to leave the park also included the different battles america was involved in. It was very informative. Not pictured but there was also a Gazebo that had a grill and electric outlets. I would imagine this is a nice place to hold a small service for military members when the weather is nice.
