There are so many unique and completely fun pieces of playground equipment. Rope walks, sliding swings, rope wall, etc. Additionally there are great picnic areas and shelters, grills, and a zip line course. But also a greenway to ride bikes or walk yourself or your pups. And, let's add the multiple baseball fields that are a great place to practice with your peers or your kiddos. I absolutely recommend this gem. Its an awesome, FREE, place to spend a beautiful day in Morganton.

I have always hated to leave my pup during her grooming appointments so this was such an amazing idea to bring to hickory. My dog is also a very nervous girl but Wendy did such an amazing job with my pup, she took the time to make sure she was calm before she started to groomed her. Highly recommend Tails and Ales to other dog parents in the area!

Best of all it's free to the public. It has fields, colorful playground equipment and tennis courts. Next to it is also a splash pad. There are several areas to get out of the sun and cooking areas. I think the Kiwanis and Zahra Baker parks are named for the adjoins areas of the park.

What a gorgeous park, even in the winter time…read more Since it's winter when I visited, I can't review all of the incredible summer time water sports but I know this park can get busy then. Winter was in incredible time to visit, easy parking, a chance to chat with the staff at the visitor center, and walk around. The lake is beautiful. I've heard that this area did get some hurricane/ storm damage but everything needed to drive around is up and running! Make a plan to visit next time you're nearby. It's about 1 hour drive from downtown Asheville.

This park had an impressive visitor center and restrooms were open even after it closed, though neighboring water fountains were not functioning on a hot summer day. The trail I selected was rugged and had occasional waterside views, most notably on a footbridge that offered a mountain vista. Cell service was not great for me, and while I'd hoped to do a zoom meeting on the run I had to return to more urban areas. But if you actually want to get unplugged, the people on boats here appeared to be having a good time.

I 100% recommend this outstanding team to pet owners - not only are they reasonable priced but personable and caring as well.

Showed up at 1.50pm. I waited for an hour and 15 minutes. I approached the intake person and was told that I was given an urgent care appointment which means they would get to her when they can. I was not told that when I was given the appointment. I understand emergencies and there was one emergency that came in while I was there but there were 20 people waiting all of whom had appointments for non emergencies and/or routine issues. They were running over an hour behind but never mentioned it to anyone checking in. People were then waiting over 20 minutes just to pay and check out. A complete lack of consideration for people's time. We will not be back.
