It's true, there aren't a ton of chairs but if you are willing to be patient, you'll get one. One thing to note is that they close the pool with lightning on the radar within a 10 mile radius. You just have to get out of the water for a minimum of 30 minutes. Lots of lifeguards and great decorations for July 4th. You can tell that they take pride in the pool. It was clean and the chairs were comfy, although the armrests do get hot in the sun so you can't always rest your arms on them. It certainly wasn't a dealbreaker. Great pool with the backdrop of the mountains and lake!

While views of the mountains are likely majestic, even on a cloudy day the misty sights were intriguing. A clean path runs around the lake, connecting bathroom facilities, tennis courts, and several other amenities. There were some dedicated parking spaces, but it was an easy walk from the town's business stretch as well. And why not, if you have the time?

I want to start off by saying that this review was originally intended for Broyhill Park only, not…read morethe pool. That said, I've been to the pool a few times, so I will touch on that, as well. I first learned of Broyhill Park through the Town of Blowing Rock's recent Instagram post highlighting the place. It looked beautiful on pictures, and it prompted me to want to want to take my dog on a walk there this beautiful, sunny, summer Monday morning. We have lived in Boone for 3 years and have found that we are still continuously finding new places to venture to and take walks. I Googled the address for Broyhill Park, I think it was 1504 Laurel Ln., and my GPS took me to the Blowing Rock equestrian center. I drove in circles looking for the park and even stopped off to ask several folks on the side of the road. No one happened to be from the area and therefore couldn't direct me to the location. Finally, just as I was about to leave, stumbled upon the park. It is right next to the Robbins Pool and across the street from the Glenn Burney trail access. Phew! This little park was cute and sweet and provided a calming, inviting atmosphere this morning for me to walk my dog and rest on the park bench. I would certainly recommend others consider take a stroll here. Regarding the pool: I think I went a total of 3 times last summer. Once for a child's birthday party and the other times with my own nieces and nephews. Anyone can use this pool, provided they pay the small fee required before entering. This fee varies for Blowing Rock residents vs. those who are not. Regardless, it isn't expensive. To me, too, it's certainly worth it given it is the only outdoor pool I am aware of in this area. I grew up in a town where outdoor pools are rampant and available in many neighborhoods, so this was my first experience attending a true community pool that required payment. That said, I really liked it. The kids love it, too! I believe the pool is heated, since the outdoor weather in the mountains is really scorching hot. 10/10 would recommend visiting the pool, the park, the nearby trail, and the town!

(I was kind of confused by the signs that indicated that no pets were allowed that were posted right beside the doggie bags for waste disposal?) There is a relatively short path around the small lake, more of a pond really. That makes it a perfect destination for people who want to enjoy the outdoors, but aren't sure of the weather or may have physical limitations to the more challenging hikes. There is also a community pool located across the street from the park and it looked fantastic. Not only did they have full lanes for swimming, but they had water slides and other splash park water features.
