(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.

It's…read morebeautiful and at the top of the stairs, you can behold the breathtaking, postcard like skyline of Winston-Salem! Back on the ground once you get your footing from being in the clouds, there are lots of rock samples from mini exotic and interesting places. There is a description of each one and where it came from and a little bit about its history. There are areas for the children to play and even places where One could have a nice picnic. There are also events here, including the spectacular fireworks on New Year's Eve. There are also food truck festivals, live concerts, and other events during the spring and summer months. This is a beautiful addition to the Winston-Salem. Area with all of the latest improvements to our wonderful city. It's also a great place to come walk enjoying the beauty of nature and a nice inexpensive date!

Whether it's a romantic moment alone that you're seeking as a pair or the total opposite where you're trying to escape any and all around you, this quarry provides!

Boats can get out on the water away from the overpressurized Marina area, where there's a lot of people, and a lot of noise. No, this is just my opinion, but I've talked to several anglers who have said the same thing and the difficulty of catching fish at the bank area at Oak Hollow. If you wanted to have maybe just a picnic and casually fish, maybe this is the move. But if you're trying to catch serious fish, this is not the move. Lovely area though.

There are a few playgrounds, bathrooms, a covered shelter for picnics, a pretty gazebo, ball field, disc golf and walking trails. I like to come here in the morning when it's not too cold out to get an outside workout in when I want to switch things up, rather than going to the gym and walking on the treadmill. The walking trails at Creekside Park are fantastic; lots of greenery or autumn foliage depending on the season. There's great lighting and usually a number of maintenance men on the property during the morning hours, so I always feel safe walking here. It's also a great place for shooting photography or a photo shoot if you are planning on having pictures taken.

They do have a few trails but it's not fancy like many big state parks. If you're looking for a clean, well taken care of park this is your place.

It was a major event for the local area but the parking and execution was very smooth. They had parking attendants throughout the lot to direct traffic which I think was a nice touch. I was at shelters 6 & 7 which could easily fit 100+ people comfortably. There were also large grills at the shelter so it would be good if you needed to cook for an event. I didn't frequent the restroom on this visit but it was close by and the exterior was clean. There's lot of open space to do picnics, play games, or just relax which is what I did this time. I'd be happy to return and host events at this location.

The playground itself is creative and full of challenges and obstacles. Some green areas to run and explore in. There is also a little free library.

From the external amenities, like the tennis courts, amazing playground, three ball fields, and additional spaces, to the entire inside of the rec center, this center is an asset to High Point.
