Across the street from Union Square, Lowes has build a sweet playground filled with lots of interesting child friendly activities and beautiful custom-made mosaic benches. Visit the Farmers Market and then sit and watch your children enjoy the fun.

The view from the top makes this 2.5 mile loop worth it. I was able to do two loops on a trail run. There are some steep, rugged portions of ascent and descent, but I really enjoyed the trek! A short distance from both I-40 and Hwy 321, for easy access.

Reviewed By yellowmountaindaisy - North Carolina, United States
Bike paths, walking trails, multiple play areas and picnic shelters, a creek, fields for group play, frisbee golf, and a nature trail with ducks/fish to feed. You might want to bring your own animal friendly food because feeding people food is discouraged, but their food is very pricey. Also be aware that the Park sometimes closes due to limited parking during peak times/seasons.

Beautiful, quite park with easy access. This park is used mostly for walking, hiking, trail walking/running and mountain biking. Easy access trails in the woods for mountain biking with a variety of hills and there is a paved road for walking, running or bicycling. There is a fishing pier and a boat access. A covered picnic area, picnic tables and a gazebo with a view of Lake Hickory.
