About this park

A busy multi-use park on the French Broad River, anchored by an unusual oval track that draws walkers, cyclists, and roller skaters, plus paths that branch off for everyone else. Regulars walk their dogs here daily and report a consistently friendly, easygoing crowd. A pavilion with outlets and river scenery round it out, though leashes are the rule.
