The Orchard at White Street Park

For the past four years, the City of Suwanee and Harvest Farm have been working together to develop the first public orchard and playground in the Southeast. The Orchard at White Street Park will be a welcoming space for people of all ages. The project will feature a fully functional orchard that will be open to the community and public. It is designed to provide families with a fun and engaging space that changes through the seasons, encourages creative and self-guided outdoor play, and grows fresh fruit. It is nourishment for the mind, body, and soul.

You may be familiar with our award-winning community garden, also located in White Street Park. Opened in 2010, it was the first community garden in Gwinnett County and remains one of the largest organic community gardens in the southeastern United States. We’re excited to keep building on the success and momentum of the garden by expanding into White Street Park with this orchard.

The Orchard at White Street Park is located at 752 White Street and is currently under construction and can be seen from Buford Highway just south of Town Center. You may have noticed the large earth mound with the two embankment slides. There will also be lawn areas for relaxation and play, a pavilion, winding pathways, natural construction children’s play features throughout the one acre site.
