(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.

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.

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. Boasting nice external bathrooms, this is a great place to bring littles on the weekend. The ball fields can be reserved for different user groups. I am so glad that a nice, clean, enjoyable space like this exists.

And the arboretum may as well be the central Jewel in the crown. This space is an endless amble filling the otherwise unused, hilly gaps of in-between. There are gravel, mulch, dirt and paved pathways intermingled with themed spaces, specialty gardens, groves of large native trees, plenty of benches, shaded and sunny spaces alike, and an assortment of artistic installations. It connects neighborhoods to baseball diamonds and wide open multi-use fields. There are places to picnic the day away or watch the kids burn energy on the playground. And best of all, it's completely free and easily accessible from multiple points along the perimeter. If you are looking to spend a quiet Sunday de-stressing before a new work week, I can't recommend this place more!
