Description

Acres: 304
The park contains large areas of wetlands, but is primarily known for its many recreation and athletic facilities. The park houses a playground, five soccer fields, a football field, seven youth baseball/softball fields, two adult softball fields, concession/restroom building, three pavilions, a paved, 0.6-mile walking trail, and a 1.2-mile mulch footpath. 

George Pierce Community Recreation Center and Prime Timers Point Senior Activity Center located at George Pierce Park in Suwanee recently opened. The 16,000-square-foot community center, the fourth community center operated by Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation, features a community room, catering kitchen, three classrooms, a dance/aerobic studio, game room, and outdoor basketball courts.

The attached 9,500-square-foot Prime Timers Point Senior Activity Center includes a large community room with a kitchen, an art studio, a classroom, a computer room for SeniorNet computer training classes, a covered outdoor terrace with shuffleboard courts and a lounge area.  Prime Timers Pointe, "Where those in their prime, have the time of their lives," has additional space for billiards and a reading room.  The $6.8 million construction project was funded through the 2001 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST).  A HUD Community Development Block Grant is contributing almost $1.5 million toward construction costs of the Senior Activity Center.

Other construction improvements coming this year to George Pierce Park include a new 1.75-mile multi-purpose trail that will circle the new Community Recreation Center and Prime Timers Pointe and existing ball fields, and connect to the existing .6-mile trail.  Two outdoor basketball courts are being built, and new parking areas added near the playground and pavilion at the lake and near the existing soccer fields.
