The dog days of summer are officially upon us in the Deep South! As temperatures climb outdoors, your family members may be climbing the walls indoors. Fortunately for you, if you’re considering a move to Traditions of Braselton, our 1140-acre master-planned community offers a wealth of ways to beat the heat – whether inside the neighborhood or just beyond our scenic streetscapes.
The Pool at Traditions of Braselton
At the heart of our amenity center are the sparkling waters of our Junior Olympic-sized swimming pool, complete with a zero-entry splash zone and towering waterslide. If you lived here, you could while away the entire summer at the pool, whether sunning on the pool deck or cooling off in the water.Our pool is adjacent to our Owner’s Clubhouse, 24-hour Fitness Center, Playground, and Tennis + Pickleball complex.
Nature Trail at Traditions of Braselton
Tucked away in the woods that line Traditions Way, between Live Oak Drive and Sanctuary Drive, is a shady nature trail that’s great for early morning strolls before the heat becomes too intense. If you’re looking for a longer path for walking, running, or cycling, the Mulberry Riverwalk in Braselton offers lots of shade on a trail that parallels the Mulberry River – less than 10 miles from the community. It’s 2.2 miles long – 4.4 miles for a “round trip.”
The Splash Pad at Braselton Park
In the heart of historic downtown Braselton, Braselton Park – located at 115 Harrison Street – is home to a splash pad. The ideal destination for little ones (which can serve as a bargaining chip for best behavior while shopping and dining in the charming downtown district), the splash pad is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer months. The park is also home to a playground, tennis courts, and a pavilion for picnicking. If the park’s lot is full, there is plenty of additional parking to be found across Hwy 53 in Braselton’s parking deck.
Hurricane Shoals Park in Maysville
Just 15 miles from Traditions of Braselton lies a wonderful park at 416 Hurricane Shoals Road in Maysville. Kids can splash in the shallow waters of the North Oconee River to keep cool, but there is so much to do at the park that you might want to bring a change of clothes. In addition to the river and shoals, Hurricane Shoals Park boasts a disc golf course, a miniature golf course, an extensive nature trail system, a collection of picnic pavilions, and a “Heritage Village” that features nearly a dozen historic buildings.
Lake Lanier in Buford
Drive a little further – roughly 20 miles to Big Creek Park – and you can hit the boat ramp to launch your speed or pontoon boat for a day on the lake. Don’t have a boat? This park also features a stretch of white sand beach and restrooms. There’s also Buford Dam Park for sunning on the shore, Balus Creek Park in Oakwood for launching your boat, Burton Mill Park in Flowery Branch for swimming, and Clarks Bridge Park in Gainesville for fishing. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates 46 parks all around the lake that serve a wide variety of functions and offer several ways to keep your cool this summer. Beyond U.S. Corps parks, Lanier Islands is a resort perched at the lake’s edge in Buford and boasts Fins Up Waterpark inside Margaritaville at Lanier Islands. Between the wave pool, aquatic obstacle course, and more than a dozen thrilling waterslides, it’s easy to beat the heat here.
