    Man Gwinnett County has a lot of great parks. This is a large park located in Lawrenceville. You would expect this is the biggest park in Lawrenceville, spanning 91 acres, but it isn't. That title probably belongs to Tribble Mill. But Alexander Park is no slouch either. Alexander Park probably has one of the best looking disc golf course in the area. The disc golf course is so nice, I mistook it for a real golf course. Besides the disc golf course, there are 2 playgrounds, a non-paved trail, and a paved trail. The paved trail is about 1.8 miles. There's also a pavilion, pond (you can fish here), trees, an outdoor classroom/theater, and other nature-y stuff. The main, paved trail is nice. It's an easy walk and it goes around the perimeter of the park. You can see all the park as you walk around it. The view is nice and calming. The public bathrooms are clean enough, not sparkle clean. But it does the job fine. There are 2 playgrounds, like I mentioned. One seems to be for the younger kids, and the other for the older kids. The one for older kids look like an amusement park. It has giant slides and such. This park is great. It's probably one of the better parks in Lawrenceville. Of course, it's not as grand or big as Tribble Mill, but I think this park offers other features. This park is immaculate. It well maintained and looks beautiful. It is one of my favorite parks I've been to. If you want to walk, play in the playgrounds, play disc golf, fish, have a picnic, fish, or more, this is a nice park for all that.

    this park is so great and big and beautiful! There is so much parking! A great track to run or walk on with divided lanes! A disc golf course, a playground and a dog park! I am so grateful to have found it

    SO impressive and peaceful. Great walking trails and really good for groups or solo reflection.

    Some of my friends and I began a walking group and started with Alexander Park this past Saturday. I had visited before but had not explored the walking trails. It's a super busy park, and has a lot of options for walking and light hiking. It's nice that the walking trails have different scenery, lots of trees and green covered areas, along with unpaved trails for those who want to practice hiking a bit, a very basic level. I must say, I'm very pleased that we chose to walk here. I was relieved to see that the bathrooms were relatively decent for a public park, and there's a nice sized play area and play ground for those who want to bring the kiddos. There's a small pond in the middle of the park, and there's a boardwalk so you can walk and look around, it's actually such a nice hiatus from the trails, very peaceful. We also saw a guy fishing in the small lake in the middle of the park LOL, as well as a large group playing disc golf on the greens. Lots to do here. The only reason that it didn't get 5 stars is because the parking is horrific. The parking lot is so small, and there are limited spaces, or else you'll need to park waaayyyyyyyy on the other side of the walking trails. If you go, be sure to go early because parking is a chore.

    I really enjoy walking and running in this park. It has both a paved and natural trail to run. I go every morning. It's a group of regulars. Everyone is friendly.

    My favorite park other than Piedmont Park. I come here regularly to walk, run, and relax. There is a beautiful lake to sit and gather your thoughts on a breezy day. There is a 1.4 mile outer loop walking trail and a 1.03 mile inner loop running trail. The running trail is awesome because it's more naturey and goes through the "woods". This park also has a unique "disc golf" designation. Disc golf is also called frisbee golf. I saw a lot of people get really serious about their disc golf. A couple of friends and I tried to play for a couple of hours one morning and we barely got through half of the course without calling it quits. Great exercise and fun though! The playground is pretty and not always busy so if you want to go swing -- forget your age. Just swing. Play on the big rock too! Be a kid again. This park also has an amphitheater. However, I have never seen any concerts. Most days I see kids playing soccer, several boot camp and yoga groups, kite flying, and sometimes I see people in the pavillion having family reunions and bbq-parties. At the entrance of the park if you go towards the right there is also a cool big compass thing which most people don't see unless they look. I came here once for a charity event and they showed frozen on the green space. That was awesome! Like I said -- my favorite park.

    Simple park with a fantastic walking trail. Beautiful scenery for taking pics as well. Park has pavilions for birthday parties, reunions, etc. Nice playground which is still in great shape since the park is quite new. It has enough to keep the kids busy for a few hours. You can walk your dog, fly a kite, or sit and read a book by the water. Restrooms are nearby the playground and were kept pretty clean for a public park.

    I love this park. I trained here before I joined the army. There is a beautiful trail that has several inclines. If you can't make it to your gym & you're in the area you should give it a try. The bathrooms are usually pretty clean too.

    At the brand new dog park that just opened on Monday!

    Finally! The dog park is open. Long overdue! My puppy dog had a blast meeting all the other little dogs! It's perfect and in the perfect location! So happy!

    Oh myyyyyyyyy goodness. This is easily one of the best disc golf courses I've played to date. It may be a little far from Atlanta proper and isn't exactly located in a part of town that you'll want to be on a frequent basis, but the park is incredible... and beautiful. Came for an afternoon round with a buddy and it was a perfect day to be outside. The disc golf course is amazing. Tons of open drives, challenging approach shots, and woodsy coverings. I was particularly impressed with the level of professionalism at each hole. Paved tee boxes, brooms at each one, maps for different placements of baskets, and benches constructed by a local boyscout troop. The course is rather challenging, too. Many of the baskets are laid out in a par 3 format, but there are a few long drives making for a par 4 or 5 distance drive. The park itself is huge and houses one of the best running/walking trails I've seen at a park. The loop is generous in size and is easily the most popular part of the park for goers. There were tons of people running or walking and enjoying the sunshine. There is also a huge playground nearest to the entrance of the park proper. I can't wait to come back and play another round. Being 45 minutes from Atlanta is a bit of a bummer, but so worth it.

    Not much scenery but it's nice for a walk, birthday party, or to let kinds play. Very chill. Great for a simple lunch in the park too.

    I'm trying to rent one of the pavillions for a birthday party. But there are 3. Anyone happen to know which ones are closest to the big playground?

    They do not have names, just make sure when you call you to let them know you want the one closest to the playground. There is literally one next to the playground. The other is on the opposite side (next to the soccer field).
