Town Center on Main and DeLay Nature Park in Suwanee

Town Center on Main & DeLay Nature Park is the downtown Suwanee park at 421 Main Street (City of Suwanee). It opened in 2024, “just through the pedestrian tunnel” from Town Center Park, per the city (City of Suwanee).

How the park came to be

The city bought the 25-acre site at the corner of Suwanee Dam Road and Main Street in 2002, as an early purchase under its park and open space initiative. The City Council approved a master plan for it in 2016 (City of Suwanee). In January 2026 the Georgia Municipal Association, with Georgia Trend, named Suwanee a 2026 Visionary City Award honoree in the Medium Cities category for Town Center on Main. The city says it unifies Old Town and Town Center into one walkable downtown, partly by rerouting Main Street (City of Suwanee).

What is in the park

• A large lawn, a reflection pond and a hilltop waterfall (City of Suwanee).
• The 1,200-foot bridge, which spans the park (City of Suwanee).
• Two volleyball courts.
• The Reading Grotto, beneath the pedestrian bridge and steps from the library (City of Suwanee). Its Bookshelf mural is by Michigan artist Pat Perry. Each painted object points to a work of literature; a pearl, for instance, nods to John Steinbeck’s The Pearl. In 2026 the mural was named a CODAaward Merit Winner in the Murals category (City of Suwanee).
• Greater Good, the veterans memorial by artist Michael Szabo. It is 20 feet tall, with six arcs rising from a water feature to stand for the six military branches. Nearly 200 commemorative plaques honoring individual veterans surround it. The city dedicated it on November 9, per a city release posted November 15, 2024 (City of Suwanee).
• SculpTour pieces. The city’s 2025–27 SculpTour brochure maps part of the exhibit across Town Center on Main (City of Suwanee). See our SculpTour guide.

Suwanee Circle food trucks

Suwanee Circle is the food truck park at Town Center on Main. It debuted in spring 2026 and has a large outdoor bar, tables and chairs, TVs and a small stage for live acoustic music (City of Suwanee).

No truck lineup is published. For sit-down meals, see places to eat.

DeLay Nature Park, the Brushy Creek Greenway and the StoryWalk

DeLay Nature Park is roughly 15 acres of woods along Brushy Creek. The Brushy Creek Greenway runs through it between Suwanee Dam Road at DeLay Road and Stonecypher Road near Main Street, and it connects directly to PlayTown Suwanee. The city’s parks page calls it a 0.4-mile paved and boardwalk trail starting at Town Center on Main (City of Suwanee); the park’s own page says ½ mile (City of Suwanee). Plan on about a half-mile or less.

• Parking for the trail is near PlayTown Suwanee or off Main Street at Town Center on Main.
• Pets must be leashed and under control, and alcohol is prohibited on the trail.
• Posted hours are sunrise to sunset.
• A StoryWalk made by Girl Scout Gold Award recipient Shannon Kress runs along the trail behind PlayTown (City of Suwanee).

The Suwanee Creek Greenway is separate; see our Greenway guide.
