Remember the movie, Field of Dreams, where the guy built a baseball diamond in his cornfield?  Well, Lanier Point Park is a bigger dream come true.
Yes, it’s on Lake Lanier. Â Yes, you can launch a boat, catch a fish, grill hot dogs in the fresh lake air and romp around with your kids until you can romp no more. Â Lanier Point has all the standard park stuff.
Lanier Point Park is like The Wizard of Oz version of Field of Dreams.  It’s amazing.  Five 300-foot baseball diamonds with 8-foot tall fences in the outfield, enough lights to see this park from Pluto (yes, it IS a planet!), and a two-story control tower.  (No, I do not know why, I am not an athlete.)
The Lanier Point Athletic Complex is truly one of the premier athletic facilities in the Southeast.  This groomed, 96-acre complex serves almost 15,000 baseball players and approximately 75,000 spectators annually, right around the corner from Gainesville’s most popular restaurants.
