The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners recently approved a new entrance to Tribble Mill Park, 2125 Tribble Mill Pkwy. in Lawrenceville. The new entryway on Chandler Road will coincide with the construction of a new trailhead for the multipurpose Lloyd N. Harris Greenway Trail that will connect to Harbins Park in Dacula.

The new entrance will lead to a lighted parking lot with 89 spaces and a kiosk at the trailhead. The project also includes three picnic shelters and a restroom.

“This project will provide better access to Tribble Mill Park, to Harbins Park and eventually to other parks as well,” Board Chairman Charlotte Nash said. “Gwinnett County’s tagline is ‘vibrantly connected,’ and it’s fitting that the Lloyd N. Harris Greenway Trail will provide important connections between places and between people.”

The $2.8 million project is being funded by the SPLOST program.
