Jones Bridge Park

Well hidden park near Atlanta on the Chattahoochee River shoals that run along side the park. It is a great place to go with family if you are into outdoor activities at all. It is open to everyone and has a nice big free parking lot, several picnic tables, benches, and restrooms. I came with family that lives in the area and we fished the river. Notice I said «fished» and not «caught fish» but we had a great time anyway.
They do have a few grills for your cooking use but they look worn out so bring foil and cleaning supplies to use them. There is a large playground for children and a nice open grass field for playing. There is a very small walking trail to circle down by the river and back to the soccer fields which is good for a stroll about the park. The river is very rocky so bring shoes to walk in the river and safety vest as there are no lifeguards on duty. The river was running very fast when we were there so use caution and you should be fine.

My wife and I are very found of this park. Such beauty and tranquility. This place is our stress reliever. I enjoy the fishing as well.

The hiking trail is well kept, very shady and follows the river. Would probably be a better spot for river rafting or fishing than hiking though – the scenes are rather monotonous on the trails but the river itself is great!

A great park just to chill and relax. I’m re-​visiting all these parks when I used to take my kids when they were younger because hey, time has changed, Gwinnett Parks are improving and I need a good hike.
It is located off East Jones Bridge Road behind The Forum in Peachtree Corners. You would never think it’s back there. It is like McDanile Farm, tucked in the back.
What I like about Jones Bridge Park is you can get in the Chattahoochee River to swim or fish. The geese and ducks come up to you, wanting to be fed. There’s also nice grills close by.
A newly, renovated playground is close by also by the pavillion. There’s a walking trail that is right by the river if you want to get your workout on. It’s not long but the view is worth it.

Festival is great. The art vendors were nice and the food was wonderful. We loved the band, however, when it was just the music playing it was WAY too loud. They just need to turn the music down a bit and arrange the parking a little better and this festival will be awesome!

This is the most beautiful park. It is big! It has a covered pavilion, picnic tables all over, grills, playground, bathrooms, ducks and geese to feed, all right beside a beautiful river lined with trees. I can’t say enough about this place! Best park I have ever been to.

Don’t go in the water! The first and last time I did I got strep throat. There’s nothing but a bunch of flesh eating bacteria and MRSA in the water.

This park is really cute. There are always tons of people there BBQing, there’s a nice sized playground, and the most beautiful view of the Chattahoochee River — and the best part is you can go into the water. There are stairs leading down into the water — it’s super freezing at all times of the year though. When the weather is great, good luck finding parking.

More visitors are families with small kids but still we (a bunch of young adults w/​o kids) found a nice spot for BBQ, not too noisy. Close to parking area (free) and restrooms and it got nice shade in a hot summer. Some mosquitoes though.
On the other side of the river is the Jones Bridge Trail. Good for a casual hiking.

This is one of my son’s most favorite parks to visit. Not only is it covered, which is so nice for the summer, but it’s large and has so much to offer. There’s something for the little ones and something for the bigger kids.
I think they recently updated the park, because there are some new things that weren’t there before, like the elevator on the big kid playset.
If you can remember to bring bread, you can walk down to the river and feed the ducks. It’s always a treat to walk down and sit at the steps and watch the people fishing, or playing in the water.
Hands down, one of the best parks in town!

So much fun with the kiddos.

This park is a great family place for all ages. My favorite part is that you can get in the river and splash around in the water, so bring swimsuits ad life jackets for the little ones! Playground was nice but we went at the wrong time of the day so all of the slides were hot even though they had big umbrellas over the top. Very nice place to visit!

This is a great neighborhood park. The geese and ducks are used to being fed, so be prepared to either comply or ignore. Photo buffs will revel in the opportunities for that classic «guy in waders fishing with heron in the background and lots of green leafy trees» shot. This is part of my jogging/​running route, and it’s a peaceful enough place during the week. It can get crowded on weekends. There is a nice playground with some fun new equipment for the kiddies. There is also plenty of space for get-​togethers and birthday parties complete with grills and other amenities. All in all a very scenic spot with lots of options for recreation and fun!

Awesome place to take your kids, esp. your small ones. They not only have a brand-​new playground (no rust in sight, and it’s shaded too!), the park is also alongside the Chattahoochee River and there are a bunch of geese (and a few ducks) that the kids can feed — I took my 3-​yr old nephew who was visiting in town, and he couldn’t stop talking about the geese so we ended up going again another day.
The view of the river is actually quite gorgeous (yes I’m talking about the Hooch), esp. on a sunny day … maybe even a good date spot for couples. The park also has a couple of pavilions for picnics.
Don’t forget to bring bread or crackers to feed the geese!

We launched our Kayak here for a 5 hour trip. It is a beautiful park with soccer fields, playground, covered pavilions. We were there on a Saturday and there were lots of people there doing sports, fishing, and cooking on the grills. In fact, it was a little hard to paddle away with the smell of chicken grilling in the air.
We put the boat in at one of the areas where steps lead down to the river. The river is quite shallow here and has a bit of current. It is a little difficult to maneuver out into the deeper water when you first launch. But when you do… this is a beautiful part of the river. Also, the park was active enough that there were not any fears about leaving the vehicle there while we were on the river. However, they lock the gates at dark so you have to plan to be back before then.
A lot of people were having fun of various types at Jones Bridge Park that day.

We have a camp retreat that has a yearly BBQ at Jones Bridge Park. It’s great because there’s a wide open field for frisbee, plenty of pavillions for cooking, and access to the Chattahoochee.
Many a time we’ve tried to cross the river to the other side of the bank, with one or two successful attempts. During the summer the water is always a pleasant chilliness, and it feels great to just jump in. Be careful though, the rocks can be slippery, and at some places the current is strong. We had to rescue some younger campers because they got caught in a strong current.
I always have a great time there, and I’m pretty sure you’ll have a good time too.
PS: The bathrooms here are very well maintained. Gotta love it.

This is a cute little park located near the ruins of the century old Jones Bridge. It is part of the Gwinnett County park system. They offer great access to the river itself, an awesome fishing location. There is also a pavilion, some open spaces, sand volleyball and that sort of thing. The playground is pretty good, geared towards young to middle aged toddlers. While it isn’t the biggest public playground around, my family found it to be comfortable and fun. If you’re headed to The Forum and are looking for something else fun to do with the kids, check this place out.
