    I enjoyed my first visit to the park. It is very quiet and has a lot to offer. We tried both playgrounds and liked the one near the green way because of the shade. The green way is nice and we took it to the overlook. It is a great place to walk or bike.

    An early afternoon walk on the greenway trail that starts out by shelter number 2.

    The most challenging part of the Bicentennial Greenway because many trails are sloped and you are going uphill as well as downhill. If you are not used to hiking yet (like myself) than I suggest a walking stick for extra balance. This part is paved but roots and such cause it to buckle in places. There are benches and mile markers to aid those that need a rest. The park has some short up paved trails which are more even and good for kids. I have not been done any of them yet. But you can find them listed on maps near the soccer field, ball fields, or park office.

    (4.5 stars) How have I never reviewed this place? It's been…read moreone of my regular walking spots for years. Despite the name, High Point City Lake Park is located in Jamestown. It offers a ton of parking, a pool, gazebos and kayaks for rent, and activities for kids. City Lake hosts community events from time to time, and it can get quite crowded on those days, but go during an off-hour and its fairly serene. For walkers, there's a view of the lake and some interesting wildlife (Muscovy ducks, anyone?). The trails also connect to the Piedmont Environmental Center, which is worth remembering should PEC parking ever fill up. Whether you want to swim, fish, paddle, or stroll, City Lake Park has what you need to be able to enjoy the outdoors.

    This park should have more reviews! It's has everything! Trains, carousel, putt putt, boat rides,…read morewater park and playground. All under $2. You can actually buy a pass for $5 and ride the train and carousel unlimited times all day! Now that's a deal! The particular day we went, they even had food trucks. The playground has been recently remodeled, all the equipment is very brand new. They have a section for the older kids and well as toddlers. Plenty of swings and lots of opportunities to climb and slide. Everything overlooks the lake and a portion of the train ride even goes alongside it. I enjoyed going through the tunnel the most. Though the carousel is a little dated, it's still fun and only $1. The boat ride was neat too. There's an ample amount of shelters available should you want to reserve one for a party and if you enjoy walking or riding your bike, there are plenty of trails that connect. If you want to find more information on hours and cost of the additional amenities I'd suggest looking at the website. The water park has its own pricing and hours. I'm sure the summer hours of operation of the park are different than the fall/winter. Overall this is a great place to have a day trip and it be fun for the whole family at an affordable rate!

If you can't figure out a way to spend a day outside somewhere in all that, you might just not like the outdoors! The Piedmont Environmental Center serves as kind of a trailhead for the High Point Greenway, as well as a system of lakeside trails that run along city lake and the golf course. The welcome center is attractive on the outside, though decisively could use a facelift indoors. Still, it has what you need. Restrooms, vending, information and brochures, and even a small exhibit featuring native snakes and amphibians from the Piedmont. I never pass up a chance to check out some snakes, preferably behind glass like these. The trails make a great place for a light intensity hike, a simple nature walk, or just a place to walk the dog. On my visit, it was an overcast and cool day in early spring, so it's not quite time for peak visitors yet. I prefer this time of year, things are quiet and serene, and the trees are just starting to bloom. There is no shortage of signage along the trails, and ample places to make sure you clean up after your dog. Another note, if you're a Pokemon Go player, there are no less than 12(!) easy to access gyms at both the major hub around the visitor center, and then several along the trails, not to mention a litany of Pokestops. Please only read this information and follow it if you're on team Mystic. The rest of you can feel free to forget you read it. All of this is free, so get out and enjoy nature as North Carolina provides in abundance!
