Gwinnett Commissioners approved $3.4 million in SPLOST-funded improvements Tuesday for McDaniel Farm Park with low bidder Vertical Earth Inc.
The 134-acre park near Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth opened in 2004 and has been restored to depict a typical 1930s farm in Gwinnett with a furnished farmhouse, barn, blacksmith shed, carriage house and tenant house. Other amenities at the park include a picnic pavilion and 3 miles of paved multi-purpose and soft surface trails.
Upgrades will provide a new northeast entrance for public access from McDaniel Road and Duluth Highway. Major Phase 2 components include an open play area, new picnic pavilion, a farm-themed playground, dog park, trail extension, restroom building, landscaping, roadway and parking.
