Really nice park, it has a pretty long wall around trail if you want to get those steps in. Also has some playgrounds for the kids if you decide to bring them. Its a pretty sizeable park and very clean. There is the occasional dog poop om the side of the trail here and there but it wasnt anything too crazy. It also has some nice places to take pretty cool selfies. read more

I do love this park but it's not the park where my issue lies,it's with the grounds maintenance or I should call this one person the Poop Gestapo! Five minutes of getting there and into our walk, this dude comes chasing us down on his mower, scared the hell out of us, thought he was going to run us over, jumps off the mower and comes over and yells at me, "You didn't pick up your dogs poop!" Ok for one, my dog hadn't even had time to poop, we had just got there. And even if I hadn't I didn't appreciate the theatrics. I come there with my dog and disabled husband to walk in peace, it's good therapy for my husband who has dementia but this was uncalled for! If they want to really obsess over something, how about all the poop on the walkway and the used condoms I have to constantly step over! read more

This park was upgraded 3yrs ago to add additional trails, dog park, playgrounds for kids and pavilions. At the time I was there , 2:00PM, it was not crowded. There were kids everywhere unknown if school was out or they were out early. Appears more work is being done as some of the trails were not finished. Grass/Weeds were grown up in those areas. From what I'm told the trails are now 3.2 miles prior to the upgrade it was roughly 1.7 miles if that . This upgrade allows additional parking on the front side of the park facing 124/scenic hwy. this also allows a second entry Very nice park! Actually all the parks in Gwinnett County are nice. There are several in the county If you're near this park or want to change up your workout location, check out Alexander Park. read more

This park is perfect for picnics and walking your dogs, it's kept clean and a decent location.

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. read more

I absolutely love Alexander Park. Even though it's a good 25-30 min drive for me, I sometimes still take the drive up there just to enjoy how beautiful it is. I love the lake views! Some of the amenities you'll find here go from disc golf course, horseshoe pit, playground, lake and lake piers, and picnic areas with outdoor grills. Oh, and a doggy park too!! This park also counts with paved trail, and non paved trails to enjoy daily walks, or runs, and public restrooms as well. There's plenty of parking, and I believe they just added even more parking spaces. ESPAÑOL Me encanta Alexander Park. A pesar de que es un buen viaje de 25-30 minutos para mí, a veces sigo conduciendo hasta allí solo para disfrutar de lo hermoso que es. Me encantan las vistas al lago! Algunas de las comodidades que encontrará aquí van desde un campo de golf de disco, un hoyo de herradura, un área de juegos, muelles de lago y lago, y áreas de picnic con parrillas al aire libre. ¡Ah, y un parque para perros también! Este parque también cuenta con senderos pavimentados y senderos no pavimentados para disfrutar de caminatas o carreras diarias y baños públicos también. Hay mucho espacio para estacionar, y creo que agregaron aún más espacios de estacionamiento. read more

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. read more

Alexander Park - SO impressive and peaceful. Great walking trails and really good for groups or solo reflection. - Disc Golf Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

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. read more

Simple park with a fantastic walking trail. Beautiful scenery for taking pics as well.

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. read more

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. read more

Alexander Park - Tee # 16 - Disc Golf Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Alexander Park is a beautiful park for family and friends that sits on a total of 91 acres of land. It is huge in comparison to other parks nearby and there are plenty of things to do here. With that said, this place gets PACKED like a can of sardines. So come here early, or else it is almost impossible to find a place to park. The park has an excellent playground, with two parts, the left side is for the bigger kids and the right side is designed for the younger toddlers. They have a huge open field here that is usually filled with kids or adults playing soccer and they have a nice 1.4 mile multi-purpose trail and 1 mile soft paved trail that is always filled with walkers, joggers and runners, so if you are trying to cycle here, don't, because you will be annoyed by having to constantly stop due to people walking all over the place on the trail... My only complaint is that for some odd reason the people who use the trails here at Alexander Park are oblivious to the fact that the left side of the trail is for going (away) and the right is for the coming (approaching) traffic, just like driving. Once while cycling here I had a group of four ladies who became mesmerized like deer being blinded by high beams, as my bike approached, so I had to hop off, because they would not budge. Okay, enough about cycling... So what does Alexander Park have to offer? The park offers something for everyone, including fishing, playgrounds, horseshoe pit, pavilions, lake (more so a pond) with a standing pier, soccer field (also used as an amphitheater), bathrooms, charcoal grills for parties, 2.4 total miles of trails and a 18 hole disc golf course. I recommend this park, just come earlier in the day and don't cycle here. read more

This is one of my favorite parks to walk/jog and bring my dog. Alexander Park is very spacious, it has lots of open space for kids or pets to play. Not too long ago they expanded the park I believe it now has two playgrounds and two dog sections for large and small dogs and they lengthened the trail. There are two looped paths, one on concrete and the other on bits of gravel. Both are easy to walk/run, but the gravel path gives you more of an uphill challenge, just watch out for flying disc ( yes, this park has disc golf). There is also a small lake, with two observation piers. There is usually a good number of people at the park, so luckily there is more than enough parking. read more

You may not be familiar with all the logistics behind creating a park space but it really comes down to ideas and... money. What we presently see at the park is phase one. Since I belong to a steering committee ( folks who offered their ideas ) I will share what is coming to park as phase two. The second entrance to the park will be right from Hwy 124 and will lead to another parking lot big enough to fit 200+ cars. There will be a dog park and a valley all court. The construction supposed to start last summer so there is a delay in construction. The big tree supposed to get some TLC from tree specialist to assure its long life for as long as possible. Down the road we may expect some soccer fields along Hwy 124 ( far away from Flowers Crossing subdivision per respondents request) read more

I had no idea that this park was less than 5 miles from me, so it's a shame that I only found out about this park today. I visited on a Friday afternoon in the summer. There was foot traffic and groups occupying one of the covered picnic seating areas, but plenty of parking (and there was an alternate lot, though I wasn't sure how to get to it...maybe on my next trip) and not so crowded that you couldn't enjoy yourself. You have just under 3 miles of trail to explore, which branches off from the larger outer loop and a few stringer trails inside that outer loop. In the center there's a nice pond with a sitting area to relax. There's a few inclines, but nothing horrible. By cycle, the outer trail can be done in less than 10 minutes at a casual pace. The thing that I love about this park is the openness of it. When the grass is high, it almost looks like you're in the middle of some great plains just for a bit. There aren't a ton of trees because of this, so windy days are REALLY windy. Several benches litter the trail, and at the parking lot you have a nice restroom, children's play area, outdoor study area and a few places to bbq should you like. The park is very clean, and although you do hear lots of cars driving by, it doesn't pull you out of your experience. I'd never heard of Disc Golf until moving to Gwinnett County, but this is the second Disc Golf park i've stumbled upon. Looks like fun! Very fun, very chill park to come enjoy yourself read more

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.

This park is a giantic open space of nothing. It is a great place for playing frisbees, kiting, and running or walking your dog. The larger loop is a little more than a mile long. It accompanies by a gravel trail into the trees. The park is divided by a small pond. It is big, but it lacks restroom facility on the other side of the pond. It does not have designated soccer or baseball field. Also, it is a fun place to play Pokemon Go. There are three gyms and a few pokestops, conveniently located along the running track. read more

Really cute and simple park. It's not terribly big, but you can walk the perimeter. There is a forest area plus a large play area for kids. If you need to get in a quick evening/morning run I imagine this is a great spot for that as well. We came here during the Pokemon Go craze. Was a lot of fun for that alone, but kudos to a nicely done park. read more

The newly renovated park is wonderful. Fantastic dog park, new playground, frisbee park, large lawn. Nicely done.

I remember hearing about Alexander Park when it first opened up but I never had a chance to check it out or anything. I wasn't sure where it would be but I did see it driving on Scenic Highway one day. Since I wanted to explore more Gwinnett parks, I thought why not finally go to Alexander Park? So I finally did come here on a Saturday morning. I read the Yelp reviews about minimal parking so I made sure to come early but dang, everyone and their mama was already here, could be that it was the Saturday before Memorial Day and everyone wanted to either get their work out on or grill. I parked in front of the playground area. It was so packed! I did get confused with the many trails, not knowing where they would lead to. I wanted to check out the lake, it was more of a pond, is there another one?? I read you could fish here too?? It was much smaller than I thought. The view was just a-okay. I ended walking in the disc golf area. I found it interesting. I never have heard or knew anything about disc golf either but it was interesting. I was glad I chose this path cause it was more of a nature trail, which I was so happy. I love nature trails and prefer it cause of the scenery. Will definitely come back. read more

This is my favorite park to go for a run. I'd rather run outdoors than on a treadmill. I love the relaxing nature scenery here. They have 2 types of trails that go around the entire park. One is paved concrete and the other is a soft surface trail. For running, I prefer the soft surface (less shock absorption). Overall, this is a great park for all ages. read more

Alexander Park disc golf course is top notch in terms of infrastructure. From the main parking lot, we had to find the one sign which told you where the first tee was. It was a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the first hole, but the paved walking track made it pretty easy. 18 holes and each tee has TWO concrete pads; for shorter/longer drives. (There's even some holes that have tiny little brooms, so you can clean off the tee before your drive....a bit much, but whatever....). Signage is very clear and the course flows well from hole to hole. There are even little signs that tell you what direction the next tee is, in case you forget by the time you're at the hole. DISCatcher baskets are clearly marked. There a good mix of long drives, short drives, light trees, heavy trees, and even one water hazard (disc swallower) on hole 17. Variable basket locations at each hole. The one down side: very busy park. There are runners, bikers, soccer moms and dads, pee wee sports, kite flyers... everywhere. But they are all there because its a great park in a great area. We were behind one foursome, with a foursome behind us: by far the most disc golfers I've ever seen on a Tuesday afternoon/evening. read more

This park has always been my go to. It's a beautiful park with a friendly and safe environment. It does get pack during the weekends but keeps my mind at ease when I go jogging alone. They have paved and unpaved trails that people can utilize. There is two jungle gyms, one for a smaller age group and another for kids that are a tad bit older. The fields will have people playing football, American football, and training/exercise classes. They have a few pavilions with grills that you can use. Cute little pond and disc golf. Most of the things you need in a park you can find here! read more

I met a lot of people who bring their dog to this park even though this is not a dog park. because this park is so big. There is a small are for toddler and sometimes i saw people gathering for a small outdoor party to celebrate someone's child birthday. I see a bunch of people playing some freesbee. They have a water fountain both for dogs and people. really awesome! They have public bathroom. the only cons is that although i found this place quite clean, i will carefully watch my dog for not steeping on dog's poop. Really awesome park! I loved it! read more
