Gary Pirkle Park

Good clean park, especially for rainy days for parents with young kids that can use the covered area. Great soccer fields too. You can have your leashed dogs enjoy the soccer games too.

Good place for kids.
Good playground.
Not so many kids
Here is 9 football fields)

Beautiful park to visit while staying on Lake Lanier Islands. We had our 4, 6 and 9 year old to entertain and this park did not disappoint. The playground is wonderful and we appreciate that it was covered. When the kids got tired of playing, they scootered on the flat smooth paths around the play fields. The bathrooms are conveniently placed right near the playground. There is also a lovely wooded path with smooth walking trail. Would highly recommend if you have kids and need to entertain them outside.

My son and daughter play soccer here and it is one of the best facilities we have had soccer practices/games at. I like how they have bathrooms on both ends of the field and the playground structure is covered. It helps on those hot fall days. There is usually plenty of places to park despite the large crowds for games and practices going on.

They have a nice playground area here and it is completely covered. Which is nice for today since it has been rainy and everything here is actually dry. Plus, in the heat of the summer time I'll be able to bring my kids here and let them run around in the shade so they won't get quite so hot. It also looks like they have some really nice astro turf fields and walking trails throughout the park too.
