Gwinnett Parks and Recreation Division is launching a comprehensive parks and recreation master plan to understand how the county is changing and to establish a long-range vision for using the county’s resources over the next 10 years.

“Public input is the centerpiece to what makes Gwinnett County Parks great,” said Mark Patterson, deputy director of Community Services. “Our objective is to be inclusive to our park users which allows the staff to provide lifelong experiences for our residents and visitors.”
