Settles Bridge: STAY OFF! However, it is a cool area.
Thomas W.

This was a great for a trail hike. Had to forge a small stream along the way, but plenty of options to create a nice route and get in those steps!

Laughing at ourselves, I was going to note in my review that the trail was poorly marked, until I noticed that my friend had put us on a trail that wasn't a trail. Lemme back up Settles Bridge park, at first look is simply a kids play area complete with a large skateboard obstacle course and a dog park, but when you take a walk on the trails, it's actually a nice park! There are 8 trails at Settles bridge, with 7 of them being unpaved trails. They're all color coded and are the following lengths: Unpaved trails Orange Nature trail: 0.39 mi Purple Nature trail: 0.12 mi Yellow Nature trail: 0.20 mi Red Nature trail: 0.68 mi Green Nature trail: 0.21 mi Blue Nature trail: 1.03 mi pink Nature trail: 0.20 mi Pave trails Multi use white trail: 0.44 mi One of the things my friend and I noted was the scale seemed out of whack. Each trail looked like it was a mile or more in length, when actually only one trail was more than a mile, so you finish a trail much more quickly than you thought. One thing my friend flubbed, and you should watch out for is leaving the multi use paved trail, thinking that the yellow trail is the first trail you find on the left. It's not, and in fact, it's not one of the trails listed because it rests on the US National Parks Services property. If you want a great view, I encourage you to take this "mistake", because this trail brings you right out to the Chattahoochee river for some really nice views. The trail is maybe a mile in and out and relatively flat. Getting back to the multi use trails, the first unpaved trail you come to is in fact the yellow trail, and all trails are conveniently marked with maps and "you are here" stars just in case you get turned around. There aren't any real trail markers that say you're x amount of miles in, and while there are blue marks on the trail not associated with the park (which leads to the Chattahoochee), there are no color coded spray paint on trees. This kinda engineers itself out because each trail is fairly short. There are a few hills here and there, although the trails in general are able to be completed even if you're simply a casual walker. We took the multi use, yellow, red, blue and green trails and had very little in the way of trouble at a casual pace. At the end of the day, Settles Bridge has a little something for everyone, and gives people interested in the outdoors a great taste of multiple trail systems that criss cross along the Hooch. I had fun...hope you get to check it out!

Nice park. We did a loop and hiked about 6.25 miles. Gorgeous scenery along the Chattahoochee River with remnants of an old bridge. Paved trails have gorgeous views of million dollar homes and ponds.

The skate park is the biggest attraction next to the dog park. Three large bowl that connect to each other giving it a good flow. Spacious flat zones, several ramps, quarter pipe, stairs and rails make this a great skate park. Downside is that this place closes at sunset. There's a basketball court, a playground for kids 12 and under, a playground for over 12, large covered pavilion with standing grills and a clean restroom. Nice but small. That's basically it here at Settles Bridge Park.

Really nice park, as they usually are in Gwinnett County. Large play areas for both the tots and the pooch, windy trails to explore and decent facilities. It's also in a residential area and is directly beside an elementary school, so easy access for the kiddies. HOWEVER, my issue with this park is the parking situation. There is one lone parking lot at the front entrance. No problem - unless you're going to the dog park, which is smack in the middle of the park without any road access. Why is this a problem? Because you cannot see the parking lot from the dog park, which means you cannot see your car. Still don't get the issue? Car burglars are notorious for targeting parks because people get comfortable and leave things in their car that they don't want to carry. These may not be what you'd consider the "valuables" most park signage warns you about leaving in the car - but a thief might want your 5-yr-old Prada sunglasses or your scratched-up, dinged-up iPod. All that being said, the dog park is nice. Not the biggest or the nicest I've ever been to, but still nice. Two sides for separating the big guys from the little guys, and the littles side is quite large as far as littles sides go. The planted trees are still young so there is no shade except under the covered benches - enough shade for maybe 8 people bunched together. I would give this place a 4, but the parking drops it to a 3 for me.

Gwinnett County has recently opened a new gem of a park. Though of little use for the ITP'ers if you have a doggie it has one of the nicest dog parks I have ever seen and would be worth the day spent exploring. It is divided into 2 sections, one side for the big doggies and one side for the little doggies with plenty of room to romp and run. It also has dog agility course equipment. Water fountains have built in doggie bowls. But that's just the beginning. This 268 acres has great walking trails, almost 2 miles paved and 3 miles soft trail. Once you get past the dog park be aware that the trails become "hilly" and your relaxing walk in the woods just became a vigorous workout. There are playgrounds for the kiddies and a very nice pavilion that has over sized grills and electricity that can be reserved and rented. This is a 5 star park but there is one area of concern. There is a "skate park" there but everyone who had skates or skateboards were having difficulty getting any time because of the 20 or so trick bike riders taking over the skate facility. Also the teens riding bikes had little regard for pedestrians having the right of way. Walking/jogging these trails and pathways may become problematic if there is no way to enforce the 10 mph speed limit. But most of the teens that were there only hung out by the skate park and were not on the walking trails for the most part. Your doggie will love it........!!!!

Where the trail ends and the wooded trail begins.

Love the playground, except that there isn't any shade, and I love the dog park, and the many trails here. I like the wooded trails that make you feel like you're hiking deep in the woods. Great place to go and get yourself, your child and your doggie some exercise.

See all

It's a nice park! Great area to walk the dog. Plenty of disposal areas for poop. The off leash dog park is nice, but quite sunny.

Being honest, I thought Waller Park was part of Vickery Creek until I saw that it's its own park…read more As other reviewers have said, it's definitely a hidden gem, because it's a very small park, but it serves its purpose well. The name of the Waller Park Extension game are fields. Several different fields litter the area and I counted at least 4, crammed into this tiny foot print. Parking is surprisingly very spacious and in fact, there's a lower parking lot that's just behind the City of roswell office that you pass to get to another area of the park. Down below is more parking, as well as yet another soccer field. Front and center at the main portion of the park is a nice children's play area, that was being taken full advantage of by kids, and strategically placed near the play area, were benches for parents to sit and watch or just for anyone to sit and soak up the day. Park up keep is very clean and well put together. I didn't see one stray piece of trash, which is pretty cool! There is an aquatic center to the left of the park (if you're facing the children's play area), but i'm not sure if it is affiliated with the park itself. There are no hiking trails here, but my guess is you're not coming here for that, and that's cool. If you have kids, play sports or just live close, this tiny little park is your little secret. If you're looking for a hike, or a monstrous mega park, you wont find that here. Nice, clean, small park with lots of parking that gets the job done. Definitely a fan!

My friend was telling me how awesome it is....and she was right! There are lots of sports fields here and I know Roswell recreation department offers sports classes for kids. There are 2 play structures. One hue one for older kids including a rock wall, huge slides, and other various things. Then a smaller one with the same kind of things on a smaller level. They have several swings including a tire swing and handicapped swing too. There is a pavilion are with lots of shade, and there is good shade coverage from the trees as well. There is also a huge skate park in the back!! Also community tennis courts! This seems like a great park and we will definitely be utilizing it!

Such a nice park! If you are looking for basketball courts, paved running trails, sand volleyball…read morecourts and more - this is a solid option in the area. It can be a bit confusing to navigate towards the basketball/volleyball court area, as there's a large library (I think?) you pass first to get through. The GPS will correctly lead you to the appropriate area. There is ample parking and restrooms on site at the park near the courts. Everyone was respectful of others sharing the courts, so we all had a great time. Definitely recommend.

Um. There's a concession stand at this park?! o.O Wouldn't think a park could be so fancy. The date…read moreand I were amazed and shocked at the size, number of people, and layout of this place when we visited this past Tuesday evening. Even the kid's playground area had fancy equipment I never thought would be in a park. This place is definitely a hangout area for high schoolers. The skating/in-line skating pits, volleyball pit, and basketball courts were filled as if there were tournaments occurring. This area is in a different part of the park and away from the kid's playground. There is another area (football field) that we didn't get to visit, but I can imagine it to be quite large. There was also a large building that seemed like a library filled with children's books, but I'm not too positive what this could be. I believe there are also walking trails and picnic areas as well. Sadly, I don't think there are tennis courts here. :( This park is definitely great for both the young and old. The best part is that this place is very clean and well lit! This definitely warrants more future visits.

Recreation Center Amenities include 2 Indoor Basketball Courts, Cardio-Weight Room, Indoor Walking Track, Dance Classroom, Fitness Classroom, Community Room, Multipurpose Classroom, Showers and Restrooms. One of the trails leads to Halcyon, which takes over an hour if walking at a fast pace. This park has tons of amenities, but the real hidden gem is the free run club every Tuesday at 7PM by the track. There is a nice skate and bike park there as well. Got to see several deer along the trail as well. I like how much nature this park has, many deers roam in the park. Dog must be leashed as there is wildlife present. Multiple picnic areas that varies in size. Four picnic pavilions that can be reserved, ample free parking but there is no shade on slides and swings. Play ground for kids and lots of space for different age groups to meet and do some fun activities. Well worth a visit any time of the year. If you are out this way definitely check it out.

It's almost embarrassing to admit that I'm just now visiting Town Center Park, especially since…read moreit's so close to my home and right next to the post office I stop by nearly every day. But what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! What I thought would be a simple morning walk quickly became a full experience of art, community, and nature. The park is beautifully designed, offering something for every type of visitor. Wide walking and hiking paths weave through the grounds, inviting you to slow down and enjoy the scenery. Families can enjoy the spacious playground, athletes can hit the sand for a game of beach volleyball, and history buffs will appreciate the thoughtful and moving Army Memorial - Greater good by Michael Szabo. It's the kind of space that effortlessly blends recreation with reflection. While strolling, I had a great chat with one of the friendly groundskeepers who told me about the Saturday farmers market, as well as seasonal concerts and food trucks that make the park come alive with energy, music, and flavors. It's clearly more than just a park--it's a gathering place where the community comes together. As an art lover, the sculpture garden was the highlight of my visit. The pieces are striking, and I found myself particularly drawn to Esther and Miles, two incredible works by Olu Amoda of Smyrna, GA. The way he transforms recycled metal into such expressive, beautiful forms is nothing short of inspiring. Town Center Park is more than a patch of green space--it's an experience. Whether you're here to exercise, enjoy art, take the kids out to play, or immerse yourself in community events, you'll leave refreshed, inspired, and wondering why you didn't visit sooner.
