Highlightsof the park are having neat public restroom, dogs are allowed and nice picnic tables. Park Amenities include 12 Tennis Courts, 5 Turf Multi-Use Rectangle Fields, 5 Picnic Pavilions, 4 Youth Baseball/Softball Fields, 3 Outdoor Basketball Courts, 2 Playgrounds, Batting Cages, Big Creek Greenway access, Braille Trail, Dog Park, Paved Walking Trail approximately 1.5 miles, Skate Park, Track and Field Area. 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.

I say "camp", because it wasn't. The "camp" was unorganized and not structured. This is what happened on the first day of camp. First off, about the facility, I really didn't get the concept of having a hardcourt floor and sand for volleyball together in the same facility because sand was transferring everywhere. Also the place is not sanitary. There are 2 restrooms. The one in the office had a ton of fruit flies flying around and the one in the gym had fruit flies and dead bugs. Plus, the place was tremendously hot. So about the "camp". First, he was the only instructor for the camp, with the exception of his son and another lady....not really sure what their roles were, because they really didn't do anything. There was no formal introductions and no daily agenda to explain what they would be doing for the week. Then he had all the kids lumped into one group... 5-12 year olds. A real basketball camp separates the kids into their own age groups. He also had everyone shoot on the very tall goals and the little kids not having the right size ball. At around 12 noon he separated the big kids and the little kids, but he had the big kids play 2 games and the little ones work on shooting with his son and the other lady. It seemed that he was more interested in the big kids, then everyone as a whole. I don't know who that female "coach" was, but she cannot teach at all. She had to look at her phone several times to figure out what to do. Little kids have a short attention span, and she didn't keep them entertained and the kids were bored. They had the kids together instead splitting them up. The majority of the kids were not focused...they were standing there not paying attention, playing on the net, and not learning anything. Then they broke for lunch at 1:30 pm and watched a show or a movie in the tiny break room. Then after lunch they played in the sandbox for the rest of "camp". Money wasn't paid for him to play in the sandbox for the majority of camp. The purpose of the camp was to learn about the rules and skills about basketball. On Tuesday, this is when I really knew that this was a scam because Mr. Hines was holding another basketball camp for a daycare center while the i9 basketball campers were playing in the sand volleyball court. When we got there, the camp didn't start on time which was scheduled at 9am. So my mom and I went for a walk, and my dad stayed in his truck. When we returned, my dad said that the door to the facility was locked. When the kids from the daycare center arrived they couldn't get in. So the daycare workers had to call Mr. Hines to unlock the door. My dad asked, "why was the door locked", and Mr. Hines replied "because of security reasons". But yesterday, the door to the facility remained unlocked the entire day. So, my mom had to go around to the back to enter into the facility. Once inside she observed that the i9 campers were not participating in their scheduled basketball camp, instead they were playing volleyball in the sand. It was the daycare children who were on the basketball court participating in their basketball camp. So, my mom left and told my dad what was going on, after much discussion she returned an hour later and discovered that they daycare kids were the only ones on the basketball court being taught about basketball, and the i9 campers were taking a break in the sandbox. At that point, my nephew was taken out of camp and did not return. My dad called i9 to explain what happened. I9 refunded our money, and they were going to discuss the situation with Mr. Hines.

Most any warm season holiday is celebrated at Lake Lanier making it a popular place for vacation rental homes. Here you can go boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, golfing, as well as experience a fabulous fireworks show in the summer or Christmas lights and snow sleds in the winter. There is a spa, a beach, a waterpark, a luxury resort and good times @ Margaritaville. You can rent jet skis, go horseback riding, charter a fishing boat, rent a house boat, go camping or take a hot air balloon ride nearby. It was created by the completion of Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River in 1956, and named for Confederate Army poet Sidney Lanier. Its primary purpose was for flood control and water supplies and has a water volume of about 1,049,400 acre-ft. The narrative will tell you its construction destroyed more than 50,000 acres of farmland and displaced more than 250 families, 15 businesses, and relocated 20 cemeteries along with their corpses in the process. But I want to pause here and dive a little deeper under the surface of its waters and introduce you to: [ OSCARVILLE, GEORGIA ] "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." ― Oscar Wilde Lake Lanier is partially located in Forsyth county. It is a county that prided itself on not having black residence so much that Oprah came to film an episode of her Emmy Award-winning talk show here in 1987 (trigger warning): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WErjPmFulQ0 The show makes mention that "no black person had lived in the county for 75 years", which was a direct reference to a predominantly African-American community known as Oscarville. It was home to 1,100 black people prior to a racial conflict in 1912 which was so brutally violent that it caused blacks to flee the county... even those who were landowners. "According to Elliot Jaspin, a historian and journalist quoted by the Digital Library of Georgia and the New Georgia Encyclopedia, only about 24 of the nearly 40 Black landowners in Forsyth County at the time were able to sell their land. The other properties have no record of sale, and some believe the abandoned land was simply taken by White residents." - The Times Oscarville began as a small farming town around 1870, but after so many fled the county in 1912, it was practically a ghost town. Those still claiming ownership of their land either had it seized or were "asked" to to forfeit their land to build the Buford Dam by Newport Dam Development according to an article published on April 6, 2021 by The Signal. Prior to the violence, Oscarville was actually known for its agricultural prowess in fighting off the boll weevil infestation that hindered many farm crops and enriching the soil with chicken feces. A technique that has been duplicated to this day to revive poor farming/gardening soil. "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." ― Aldous Huxley [ MUST WATCH ] Link to Oscarville | The Town Submerged by Lake Lanier (Intrigued Mind): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifMKfBO_R6s [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] Lake Lanier is a beautiful lake and a rich resource for Atlanta. It provides approx. 70% of the drinking water for Metro Atlanta as well as power, recreation and businesses. But there is more than what meets the eye as you look across its glistening surface. An entire town is buried by its waters and has been nearly forgotten, and the hard truth is this is not an isolated story. There are several other towns across the country who suffered the same fate. They include: Kowaliga (Benson), Alabama Seneca Village In New York City Susannah, Alabama and Vanport, Oregon The story of Lake Lanier and Oscarville will be featured in an upcoming TV series called Oscarville - Below the Surface.
