Tribble Mill Park, Grayson, GA

Any skaters who find themselves amongst the lonely mansions and shiny metal boxes of Gwinnett County, GA, might want to check out Tribble Mill Park as a little piece of heaven plus hills.

Here's a Google map link, which has not yet totally caught up to the progress of the 3+ mile woodsy trail within the park.

If you're not able to get to Stone Mountain, or a downtown APRR skate, this park gives you a couple of decent hills to do over and over for your hilly workout. Just watch out for pedestrian crossings on the main roadway hills. Pick the loop that doesn't have a downhill into a stop sign, unless you're practicing your braking.

The 3+ mile trail is beautiful. For a moment I was almost convinced I was in the mountains somewhere on a trail around a lake. So quiet! Most of the faster twisty turns have some visibility ahead to check for clothesline dog leashes or 3 year olds weaving on trikes. I've heard some of the speedies from Sparkles Lawrenceville go there to train.
