Best City Parks in High Point

“Parks and playgrounds are the soul of a city.” – Marty Rubin

We’re feeling it in the air… That springtime itch that says the days are only going to get warmer and longer from here! After a long season of being cooped up inside, we’re so ready to be outside these days. And what better way to get outside and soak up some sun than to enjoy some of the beautiful parks in High Point?

Maybe you need a place to take the whole family on a Saturday for some quality time to laugh, toss a frisbee, or share a picnic. Or that birthday party you’ve got coming up in a few weeks? Why not schedule it at one of the picnic shelters, and set up some cornhole and games for everyone to enjoy? Or maybe you just need to take a relaxing lunch break, unplugged and outside.
