Tribble Mill Park Playgrounds To Get $1 Million Upgrade

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — The playgrounds at Tribble Mill Park are about to get a million-dollar makeover.

County commissioners on Tuesday approved a $997,899 contract for work at the popular, park with contractor Professionally Engineered Structures & Associates LLC.

The work will be paid for with funds from the county's special-purpose, local option sales tax.

Under the contract, the playground at Ozora Meadow will get new equipment, surfaces, drainage, fencing, retaining walls, a concrete plaza, a pre-fabricated pavilion, picnic tables, a bike rack, landscaping and a pet drinking fountain.

The contract also includes similar improvements to the playground near the Oak and Maple pavilions, including new climbing equipment, a bench swing and a handicapped-accessible paved trail with two wooden footbridges connecting the playground to the pavilions and the restrooms. This playground will have a nature theme.

The 718-acre Tribble Mill Park, at 2125 Tribble Mill Parkway, features two lakes and is often used for 5K races and large community events. In 2016, it hosted 112 private pavilion rentals, 31 race rentals, 31 group camping rentals and 18 meadow rentals.
