NEW AMENITIES COMING TO COUNTY’S ALEXANDER PARK

A new dog park, picnic facilities, a playground and more will be added to Gwinnett’s 132-acre Alexander Park at 800 Old Snellville Highway south of Lawrenceville. Commissioners on Tuesday approved a nearly $4.6 million contract with Lovvorn Construction Inc.

The project includes a new entrance from Scenic Highway, an additional 325 parking spaces connected to the existing entrance drive off Old Snellville Highway, a pavilion, a playground new trail connections, a restroom complex and a picnic shelter. A two-acre dog park will feature a separate area for small dogs.

Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlotte Nash said, “These upgrades will be great for Alexander Park, which already features a fishing lake and an 18-hole disc golf course.” She said funding comes from the 2014 and 2017 SPLOST programs approved by voters.

Future plans for the park include the creation of a nature preserve on about 40 acres of land the County purchased last year. A timeline for that project has not yet been set.
