A new park is coming to Gwinnett

County officials recently broke ground on the future Discovery Park, which will be the 53rd park in Gwinnett Parks and Recreation's system. The park — located at the intersection of Old Norcross and Lawrenceville-Suwanee roads — will offer accessibility and recreational features for park-goers like a lighted multiuse trail, ball fields, an interactive fountain, and an inclusive playground for children of all ages and abilities. The $28 million project is funded by the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, known as SPLOST. To learn more about how your pennies are working in Gwinnett, visit GwinnettSPLOST.com.
