The park also has a community room building with restrooms and a catering kitchen that is available for reservation and rental. Adjacent is a neat pickleball court that was in use today.

There's so many spots that are not roped off or marked and the carts will lock up and flip the cart over because the gps is the most annoying gps I've ever had on a golf course. You try to talk to the pro shop about it and they accuse you of breaking the carts instead of trying to fix the issue because their fix is you should have called the pro shop if the cart stops. If you hit a bad shot just drop because you're gonna have to walk or gps will make you reverse to the fairway btw the cart will make you reverse on almost every hole if you get to close to anything. Also they like to hide holes with long grass instead of fixing them. On top of that the cart paths are by far the worst in a 45 minute radius. Good luck they don't care about the consumer.

While at the Bridge, I mentioned that I was also considering going over to Riverbend Park which was only about 20 additional minutes from where we were. A couple of the folks decided to join me. I've been here probably a half a dozen times but never checked in and left a review although I did post some photos. Our group leader was familiar with the Park because she had hiked the trails often but was not aware of the Dam for Lake Hickory which is just upstream. The other lady was aware of the Dam but did not realize that there was a Park just downstream. When you pull into the main parking lot, at the back side is a small road with a sign that says "Trailheads" to the right and Picnic Rest Rooms to the Left. Not obvious but if you take the Left Fork, you go down the hill to the River. At the bottom of the hill is another parking lot next to the Catawba River. When you first to into the lot, there is an observation deck that extends out into the edge of the Catawba River. Great view of Fall foliage from here. If you go back past the covered picnic shelter you end up at the Canoe Launch area. Another beautiful area. We missed it but they open up the dam on occasion for the Canoe's and Kayaker's to create whitewater. At that time. all the rocks you see in the photographs are submerged. A little past peak color but the maples with their shades of rea were still beautiful.

With a street/farmer's market going on nearby, this playground was super busy with parents and…read moretoddlers playing. 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.

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.
