Suwanee, Gwinnett County, Georgia
Downtown Suwanee Town Center Park, Old Town and the green in between: what's on, where to park, which park fits today.
Downtown Suwanee, Georgia is two districts the city treats as one: Town Center, with City Hall and the 10-acre Town Center Park, and historic Old Town along Main Street. Town Center on Main, a park that opened in 2024 just through the pedestrian tunnel from Town Center Park, links the two.
