SUWANEE - The City of Suwanee opened its newest park over the weekend - the fifth to be created through its award-winning Open Space Initiative. The 62-acre Sims Lake Park is located at Suwanee Dam and Tench roads.
In addition to a 7-acre lake, Sims Lake Park features an approximately 1.2-mile looping trail, well-fed stream scape, playground area, picnic pavilion and two 2-acre play meadows. The park also has public restrooms and parking for nearly 90 cars.
"This is the city's first new park to open on the west side of Peachtree Industrial, where many of our citizens live," City Manager Marty Allen said. "That factor coupled with the stunning natural beauty of the property will, we hope, make Sims Lake a well-used park."
The City of Suwanee will host grand opening festivities for the park from 2-5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8. Details about the event will be posted to www.suwanee.com in the near future.
In addition to voter-approved open space bond funds, SPLOST funds were used to provide equipment for the playground area.
