Buncombe County Sports Park
Sprawling sports complex with a dog park up top
About this park
A large county athletic complex where the dog park sits at the top by field 9, past the turf soccer fields and an 18-hole disc golf course that runs through the property. A walking trail loops the lower fields and outdoor exercise equipment is scattered around, with the Blue Ridge as a backdrop. Parking can get tight on tournament weekends.
