BONUS RESOURCE: FIND YOUR NEXT HIKE IN GWINNETT
Here's something I've been wanting to share for a while — Gwinnett County has an interactive Park Locator that makes it super easy to find hiking trails, parks, and outdoor spots near you. Perfect for planning a family weekend adventure, a morning hike, or just discovering a park you didn't know existed down the road.
Save that link. You'll use it more than you think.
That's a wrap on this week's edition!
Gwinnett really showed up this week — from cultural festivals and world premieres to glow-in-the-dark egg hunts and professional women's football. There's literally something for everyone, and most of it is free or super affordable.
