If you live here in Gwinnett County Georgia I don't have to tell you about how great the parks are. This post is for the benefit of the folks that might be thinking of moving to the area. Usually parks are not a consideration for a buyer but with all the great facilities here it is definitely a perk and should be noted so here it goes. (I promise I'm not being paid anything for this post!!)

    There are 35 open park sites and 16 scheduled for future development currently covering over 8000 acres. The amenities vary from park to park but you can find just about anything from hiking and biking trails to aquatic centers with water parks and indoor pools to sports fields to fishing lakes and equestrian centers. Here is a list of parks and locations and the amenities at each park.

Locations of the parks vary but there's a good chance that no matter where you're at in Gwinnett there's a park within a few minutes drive. I have 4 parks within 10 minutes of my house and two more scheduled for completion within the next year or so. I'm really excited about one park that is set for completion in spring 09. It's practically in my back yard and covers almost 1800 acres. It's an open area style park with mountain biking trails, hiking, walking and equestrian trails, a huge playground and open play area.

My daughter loves the water parks complete with slides, water jets, and even dump buckets! The zero entry section is great for the little ones and the big kids (like me) love the slides. Check out the locations for all aquatic activities here.

As I mentioned before the parks are definitely a perk to living in Gwinnett but of course it's not the only reason why you should consider living here.
