The grand opening celebration for Alexander Park, Gwinnett County's second 18-hole disc golf course, was held on June 13. Alexander Park is located at 800 Old Snellville Highway in Lawrenceville. The celebration included disc golf demonstrations by the Gwinnett Disc Golf Organization, a 2-Mile Fun Run/Walk sponsored by the J.M. Tull - Gwinnett Family YMCA, a ribbon cutting ceremony, free kid's activities, and kite flying demonstrations by Suburban Atlanta Kite Enthusiasts.
The 91-acre park features approximately 1.4 miles of paved multi-purpose trails, one mile crushed stone trail, a playground, a horseshoe pit area, three pavilions, lake view piers, an outdoor classroom, and restrooms.
Funding for Alexander Park was made possible through the 2005 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) and totaled $3.8 million in construction costs. The park was designed by McFarland Dyer and Associates and the golf course was designed by Doug Porter. Park construction was managed by Moreland Altobelli Associates and the contractor for the project was CMES, Inc.
