(Lawrenceville, Ga., Oct. 12, 2017) – Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation (GCPR) recently completed the renovation at Tribble Mill park through funding by the 2009 SPLOST. The renovation included the installation of new playground equipment, a new plaza, seat walls, shade shelter and landscaping at the festival field. The project added a new small playground, bench swing, accessible sidewalk and pedestrian bridges between the Oak and Maple pavilions. The nature-themed playground has climbing boulders and logs. The festival field playground also received new equipment with ramps and several handicap accessible features. This playground features several challenging climbing features and two new multi-generational swings.

Playgrounds play an important role in the development of a child’s cognitive, emotional, physical and social development. GCPR believes that playing is the vehicle for exploring and learning, developing new skills and connecting with others. Parks are a place of community, and an important contributor to the environment and health of Gwinnett’s residents. Tribble Mill Park is located at 2125 Tribble Mill Parkway in Lawrenceville.
