BHTV: Asheville Parks, Part 1 – City Parks

Welcome to our three-part profile of Asheville City Parks. Throughout our region, our neighborhoods are interconnected, not just by our mountains and rivers, but also by our local city parks and green spaces. While all parks have common elements, our parks are as unique as the neighborhoods in which they can be found. In fact, several have become destinations for the larger Asheville community. Open to everyone, our parks serve as getaways in our own communities in this amazing area where you really can Live the Life You Choose.
“Within the City of Asheville, we have 54 parks located in many neighborhoods,” says Roderick Simmons, director of the Asheville Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Department. “Part of our Master Plan calls for parks to be within walking distance of residential housing, so we pretty much accomplish that goal with our park system. We have eleven community centers, three swimming pools, golf course, our Nature Center. We have many, many, many great facilities for citizens to enjoy. Pack Square Park was created with a partnership. The City partnered with the County and the Pack Square Conservancy to bring this beautiful space to life. It was redeveloped in 2001 to draw tourists to stay in Asheville longer, to spend their weekends. The stage that I'm standing on now housed a lot of events like Shindig on the Green, Goombay Festival, and a lot of other community activities for the citizens to enjoy without having to leave town. The parks that we do have in all our neighborhoods are well-kept and well-maintained, so that it's a park that you can go to to have a picnic, have a birthday party, and it's not a high traffic volume to where local neighborhoods can enjoy being out of the house and enjoying the community. Every park, we try to have a design that fits the neighborhood, so it's not a cookie-cutter effect, so that you can actually enjoy amenities that you may not find at another park. It encourages citizens to go to other communities to use parks, because they will find other things to be able to engage in, so each park has its own unique identity. We try to keep that flavor of Asheville, because Asheville is a unique place. Pritchard Park, which is located north of Pack Square Park, also offers activity called the Drum Circle. It's very, very Asheville in terms of it's very organic. It starts with one drummer that shows up, starts drumming, and then, after a period of time, you'll see more and more drummers show up and listen to the music, it changes as the rhythm of the drummers change. No one talks doing it. Everybody enjoys themselves and it's very, very unique to Asheville and it's very organic. If you get a chance to come out and see it, it'll blow you away at how that event takes place. When you come to Asheville, we would gladly welcome you to visit any one of our 54 parks or other recreational facilities. As you visit downtown and enjoy yourself, or other attractions such as the Biltmore House, please come to our parks system and enjoy our parks to get away, to enjoy some of the great scenery that we have and enjoy your stay at Asheville.”

Welcome to part two of our three-part profile of Asheville city parks. Carrier Park's long history includes being the former site of the Asheville Motor Speedway. It's now the site of a popular cycling race trek nicknamed the MellowDrome. Running along Amboy Road between West Asheville and the Swannanoa River, patrons will find areas for walking, as well as all sorts of sports from baseball to soccer, to basketball and volleyball. Additionally, there is a roller hockey rink, lawn bowling, and a popular playground.
“Carrier Park is our highest use park with many different activities going on,” says Roderick Simmons, director of the Asheville Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Department. “We have the Velodrome which is a bike course inside the park. We also have a dog park, and french quad that is connected on the southern end of Carrier Park. It's a heavily used area, citizens enjoy it. They come out and bike it and it also gives you river access which citizens love.”
“I like coming to Carrier Park because it's large enough for the dogs and there's a large enough area for me to run or to exercise. And it's just comfortable here,” says Julia, a parkgoer.
“It's easy, really it's just an easy place to get a little bit of nature, to be near the river,” say Jackie and Sema, parkgoers. “There's always beautiful, diverse things happening so it's very entertaining and it's long. Like, you can bike or run for a long time. That's one of the reasons I love this park.”
“As the city moves forward with redeveloping, one of the last areas in the city that has not been redeveloped is down on the river—what we call the River Artist District,” says Simmons. “Part of the planning process for the city, city envisioning having a network of parks, the green spaces, commercial and residential units to bring the quality of life up in Asheville. Amboy Road Park, Carrier Park, and French Broad Park are connected by a greenway system that gives you about a mile-and-a-half greenway connectivity. Once it's all finished, we'll be able to do about a three-mile loop around that area to give citizens the ability to walk, bike, and travel safely as they go through the community.”

Rope Course at Asheville Adventures in NC!
Ok I'm not gonna lie, I consider myself pretty adventurous but climbing around on a tight wire at 40-60 feet up is not my idea of a good time! The girls wanted to spend the afternoon at this rope course, and both I and my 9 year old daughter just about lost it up there. The Go Pro really doesn't do justice to the height from the yellow course, which wasn't even the highest one - orange and red were way up there. I thought Willie Nelson's There's Nothing I Can Do About It Now was fitting because once you're double locked onto the line, there's no getting out of it LOL.
Beer City USA with kids - Asheville, NC
We decided to slow it down a little bit in Asheville and try to pretend we lived there. It was nice to relax and reset. Our days mostly revolved around food, because Asheville has an AMAZING restaurant scene. Every single meal we had was so, so good.
All the downtown buildings in Asheville are Art Deco style, which is my favorite architectural style. It's a beautiful little city.
I tried on mom jeans in multiple stores, settling on the ones at Target, where they have triple shopping carts. Perfect for us!
Asheville is hip and artsy, and it has more breweries per capita than any other city in America. That's why they call it beer city!
We tried to go to the pinball museum, but it was closed, so instead we wandered through the community gardens. We drove up the Blue Ridge Parkway and went on a hike at the tree identification trail. Then we went to the North Carolina Arboretum.
We went to the New Belgium Brewing Company, east coast headquarters. What a beautiful and relaxing place to spend an afternoon! Totally family friendly . . . and they were playing 90's hip hop, so I was in heaven.
Last but not least we discovered Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company, which the girls loved because it was full of old arcade games.
Asheville is a gem. I kinda want to stay!

North Carolina Adventure
While the Western United States is pretty awesome when it comes to outdoor sports, it’s way too spread out. Sure, there are beaches for surfing and kiteboarding, yes there are mountains for rock climbing, and of course there are rivers for rafting and kayaking, but they’re all hours and hours apart.
In North Carolina, on the other hand, you can drive from the mountains to the coast in a handful of hours, and cover all of the above and more within just one state. Want to rappel down a waterfall? Check. Want to surf and kiteboard at the Outer Banks? Want to go whitewater kayaking? Check. Mountain biking and rock climbing? Check, check. Don’t go out West for your adventure sports—you’ll have to spread everything out over a million trips. Do it all at once in North Carolina.

Nate and Steph are a couple of crazy adventurers who decided that life was too short to spend their time and money accumulating stuff. So, they set out in an RV in January 2016 to travel North America and replace their stuff with experiences. In March 2017, they sold their RV and bought a Sprinter Van, which they built out into a campervan to continue their travels and adventures in #vanlife style.
Both originally from the small town of Blanchard, Oklahoma, Nate and Steph enjoy learning about new cultures and experiencing different ways of life across the world. They like to meet new people from all walks of life and just sit and have a beer with whoever shows up. It's all about spontaneity in this life!
They travel with their two pups, Pyros and Sparta, who have become great travelers and adventure pups as well.
