The park contains the historic Freeman's Mill, which dates back to the 1870s and remains a visible architectural remnant.
It is one of the largest parks in the Gwinnett County system, totaling over 700 acres.
The park's trail network connects directly to the Harbins Park equestrian and mountain biking trails.
The onsite lake allows for non-motorized boating, such as kayaks and canoes, which are not provided by the park.
The property was formerly the site of a grist mill operation that utilized the water power of the local creek.
Tribble Mill Park is a 713-acre Gwinnett County facility centered around a large fishing lake and the historic Freeman's Mill dam. The park features over 10 miles of paved and soft-surface trails catering to hikers, cyclists, and equestrians.

The park provides extensive equestrian facilities, including a dedicated parking area and horse-friendly trail segments. Pavilions, playgrounds, and restrooms are situated throughout the developed areas for public use.
