Athens Botanical gardens is a lovely place to visit to enjoy a nice stroll through the garden. The inside area has more flowers and a gift shop. When you drive in there is plenty of parking.
Note: I did remove one star for the number of stairs and hills at this garden. Compared to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Gainesville location, this location is has more hills and stairs.
The children's garden is very cute. They even had a playground!
Park with a cool zipline for kids! Park that many activities! Two Entrances (that I could find) Entrance # 1, main entrance off old Peachtree Road. This is where the soccer field entrance is. Lots of parking off Entrance #1 off Old-Peachtree Road. Go past the soccer fields and come to one of coolest parks in Gwinnett County. The playground near the soccer field (older kids playground). This is at the entrance off old Peachtree Road.

Entrance One Sign (Rock Springs Park Soccer Complex) also has two dog parks, one for small dog and one for large dogs. Very nice fencing with the dog parks, double fences that lock behind when entering and exiting. Water fountains at both dog parks. Lots of water fountain areas for dogs to drink (Hydration Stations). Areas for dog owners to sit on benches.

Playground one off Old Peachtree is very nice. Has a zip line! Amazing! Lots of slides and rock climbing walls. This playground is well shaded. Playground also hand monkey bars and climbing ropes. Large and small slides and of course the zip line.

Entrance two off rock springs (Smaller kids playground area and tennis courts. The smaller kids playground has many things to offer. Many play structures, slides, and monkey bars. Rock climbing walls as well. Small kids playground stairs not as many steps, age appropriate. This entrance is where the tennis courts.

Highly recommended this park!
Entrance One Sign (Rock Springs Park Soccer off Old peachtree is the more centrally located parking area if you want to go to the dog park. Two separate dog parks, one for larger dogs, and one for smaller dogs. Both the entry and the exit are separated with double fences, so the dogs can’t run out of the play area.
Water fountains at both dog parks. Lots of water fountain areas for dogs to drink (Hydration Stations). Areas for dog owners to sit while watching their dog play!

Highly recommended this park!
