There are some restrooms available, lots of maps and signage, and also mountain biking trails. Connected with other greenways and hiking trails - there is much to explore!

This stunning park is located along the edge of Lake Hickory and does feature a boat ramp (that is…read morecurrently closed for construction). Around 100 feet long, the longest straight ramp I've ever seen and if you are able to launch from here, you're clearly a backing up trailer expert. The park has a picnic shelter with tables and grills, a pretty gazebo and a fishing pier. An activity building (currently closed) has restrooms. The shoreline has a fabulous view of the lake and the picnic tables would be perfect for doing exactly that by the waterside. Parking lot is the trailhead for a paved bikeway and walking trails.

Make sure you grab a map before you start. The bathroom was nice and clean! There are walking sticks available if you want to use one. At the top was a awesome view and a gazebo to rest. You could see various mountain tops from there. Through out the trail there are benches and picnic tables to rest at. So if you're in the area, stop bye and take a hike!!!!

Most of the parking was in use in that area and that's perfectly okay. That ballfield is lighted but there are also youth baseball and soccer fields, four lighted tennis courts, one outdoor basketball court, play area with picnic shelter and a half mile walking trail. The park is in very good condition with mowed grass and only a few bits of litter here and there. [Review 15894 overall - 3110 in North Carolina - 1399 of 2021.]

This is a top notch park and thank you to Hickory and the Kiwanis for your efforts. When I stopped…read moreby the playground was in full use and I had to wait for the kids to get bored of the awesome slide so that I could get a picture of it without them. On top of that, one of the baseball fields was being used for little league play and they were going all out. The park has two picnic shelters with tables and grills, a tennis court, basketball court, batting cages, restrooms, splashpad and two playgrounds. One of the playgrounds is named after Zahra Baker and I'd suggest you not go look up that name. The park is handicapped accessible including some of the rides. The four baseball fields are lighted. Parking was very limited today with lots of parents bringing their kids and hanging out. I managed to find a legal spot in front of a home on a cross street. Don't block driveways or fire hydrants!

There are plenty of shaded areas surrounding the park and plenty of parking spaces. This park is not local for us otherwise it would definitely be a part of our weekly park rotation. If you're nearby though and have some rambunctious kiddies, this is the place to take them.

It's located near to the downtown center of Hickory and there is parking all over. The playground has all sorts of climbing and swinging things going on that are ideal for helping your toddlers burn off energy. Most of the park is fenced off which is great for helping keep kids from possibly wandering off and the limited access gives parents the opportunity to see anyone getting too close. There are tables and benches for picnic and lots of shade. Plenty of spots for the grownups to sit while the little ones play. The park opened in December 2016. Lowes Foods is the naming sponsor, while CommScope and Corning Inc. Foundation also stepped up as lead donors to make the park a reality, in addition to numerous other individuals and groups.
