Ronald Reagan Park - Lawrenceville
This park is located at 5 Forks Trickum Road and is open from 7 a.m. to
dusk. Ronald Reagan Park is Gwinnett's first Passive Community Park and
home to the county's first dog park, a two-acre fenced-in area where
dogs can play off their leashes. This is a great dog park with 3
separate fenced in areas — one for big dogs, one for small dogs and
one that spans the back of both, which is nice and LONG, for dogs to
really let loose and RUN — it's great for playing fetch, away from the
distractions of all the other dogs. They both have doggie water
fountains, and various agility type props set up in both. This park is
great for kids and people too!
