Overview:
Tate Evans Park located next to town hall in Banner Elk North Carolina is one of the most relaxing parks I have ever been to and has everything for everyone, making it an ideal place to go visit. If you have children they can play in the creek when warmer, use the 2 different playgrounds, swings, ride their bikes around the loop, play volleyball, have a picnic, or walk the dog. There is even shelters  and grills for barbecues, along with two separate bathrooms. The park is used for many great events in town such as the Fourth of July, Christmas tree lighting, Thursday summer concerts, and more.
Tips:
  • Dog park, dog friendly
  • Bathrooms, Picnic Benches, Grill, Shelters
  • Regular shoes or sneakers would be fine for this hike
  • Would recommend this hike to families with small kids
  • Great spot for kids to play on the playground, ride bikes, have picnic, play in the creek
