Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation was named as the Sports Partner of the Year at the Gwinnett Convention and Visitor's Bureau's Annual Tourism Awards on December 13. This award is given by the Gwinnett Sports Commission in recognition of a group/facility that consistently works and strategizes with the Sports Commission to create and host new room-night generating sports events. Gwinnett was also announced as the number one park system in Georgia earlier this year by the Georgia Parks and Recreation Association.
