Pinckneyville Park Community Recreation Center is a facility of the Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation department. This facility is located on 15 acres of space and features a pottery studio, a dance and aerobics room, a large community room with a kitchen, five indoor classrooms, one outdoor classroom and walking trails. The trails connect to the soccer complex and Pickneyville Park.
The Animal Control Department enforces, investigates and prosecutes violations to the county's animal control ordinances. The department also maintains a humane shelter for lost and unwanted animals that can be reclaimed by their owner, adopted or rescued. Unclaimed animals are humanely euthanized.
At the South Cobb Aquatic Center visitors can take swimming lessons, host birthday parties and work out during aquarobics classes. The center features water slides, sprinklers, a diving pool and lap pool. At a cost of $2 per child (age 2 through 17) and $3 for everyone else, this is an indoor water park for less than the price of a Happy Meal. Anyone can visit and enjoy the facility, not just Cobb County residents. The birthday party room is a free benefit of the facility, once the swim fee is paid. Other amenities include locker rooms, showers and a family restroom.
The Yellow River Water Reclamation Facilities, located on Tom Smith Road between River and Five Forks-Trickum roads, is ungoing a facelift that will expand its capability to treat waste water.
The modernization, which should be completed by 2111 or 2112, is a $275 million project that will increase the facility's capacity from 14.5 millions gallons per day to 22.
Once Yellow River is completed, Jackson Creek and Beaver Ruin water treatment facilities will eventually go offline.
The facility will treat waste water from nearby residents and businesses and return it to the Yellow River. The Yellow River is part of the Ocmulgee River Basin, which eventually flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
More information on the project can be found here.
