Apex Community Park: what do users think?
NC Hewat: Beautiful natural setting with a 2-mile paved trail around the entire lake, benches strategically located for those who want to rest or just admire the scenery. Short, unpaved forest trails.The park offers awesome lake views, lots of birds, softball fields, a fishing pier, covered picnic areas, a big playground for kids, tennis courts, free parking, and restroom facilities. On a recent walk early in the morning a huge bald eagle swooped across the middle of the lake.At peak times (early evening and weekends) the small Lake Pine lot fills quickly, so best to use the Laura Duncan entrance. Kayaks allowed. Overall, well maintained.A variety of pedestrians use the trail, including seniors, moms with baby carriages, adults walking dogs (leash required), families with young children, joggers, and a small number of bike riders (NO e-bikes allowed). Sometimes bikers ride too fast and do not shout a warning as they approach.It is important for pedestrians to stay aware of bike traffic at all times. Monitor what is coming towards you and what may be approaching from the rear. Watch for blind curves in the trail. Keep to the right (including your dog). Try not to block the path when walking side-by-side.
Holly Sullenger: Always a beautiful place for a stroll or a picnic.Restrooms: Restrooms on both sides.
Anya Walker: This Park in Apex is the best park around that area (the Triangle) it huge 2 miles long and very shady. Has places you can fish and just relax. I definitely recommend going here to relax and take a walk.
Hayriye Aydin: This park has a lot to offer in downtown Cary. The best place to have lots of space for walkways and picnic areas under the trees. Come and enjoy the lake view along with the amazing birds and wildlife around.
Benjamin Mclemore: Nice park
Tara Williams: Great park for small kids, older kids, teens and adults. Has a great trail around Lake Pine with several benches to stop and view, as well as a dock to fish or just sit at. 3 playgrounds and one is geared more towards agility/ninja for kids fitness. There are also 4 tennis courts, 3 volleyball courts, and 3 basketball courts and 2 or 3 baseball fields, and a soccer field. Basketball court 1 is reserved some days, but the other 2 are just open. There are 2 different restroom areas, one at the entrance and one at the top/back. There are also picnic areas near each restroom. Some of the trail has sidewalk.Playground: 2 standard playgrounds with slides and one with swings. The 3rd is a more fitness, agility, ninja warrior area.Restrooms: 2 different restroom buildings, each with a separate men's and women's restroom.Dog-friendliness: Several people walking dogs, all on leash, though. Didn't see a dog park off leash area.Picnic area: Basic picnic tables. One is covered, the other is under trees.
Eric San: Very nice park, had fun riding my escooter here.
Daph Knee: Beautiful park. Love doing work and exercising here!
Akshay Gupta: Something for everyone. Shade of trees on the walking path around the lake makes it perfect for summer.
prakash sastri: மிக அழகான இயற்கையுடன் கூடிய பார்க்
Ganesh Srinivasan: Love the 2 mile loop walking trail
Marta Miłek: One of our favorite park in the area! Beautiful lake with trial around it. There is also limited options for trials thru forest. When we go for a round on lake trail we almost always stop for the playground area. There is two options , located next to each other one is fenced small playground with swings and average size playground structure and other one is obstacles course for kids, which my kids 2 an 5 love, but older kids will have even more fun there. Toilets are located in two spots on the opposite sides of the lake.
Alissa: A very pleasant place to have a nice easy walk. Perfect for sunsets and sunrises. We saw frogs and baby geese!
Sunil Nadgauda: Nice park with a 2 mile walking trail along the lake. Good size parking, also has restrooms. NIce water views from a wooden deck built on the trail. We spotted turtles in the lake. Kids will definitely enjoy the nature walk.
