Very cool outdoor venue. Just discovered it even though its been down the street from me for over a year. Great space on the river, music, and cool people. Very dog friendly and they have disc golf baskets up as well as cornhole. Will definitely be back!

Very nice bike path. Iots of people. On the day we were riding it had rained. There were deep puddles and we were covered in mud.

The park is nice. Unfortunately, the French Broad River is pretty polluted. There are areas near the river that have an unpleasant odor. This area is very busy in the summer.

Beautiful little park and pathway. But it was unprepared for the holiday traffic. There were not sufficient trash receptacles. People, as they often do, left trash everywhere. Additionally, there was no toilet paper in the port-a-potty. Sad first impression of the place.

Good location for a take in or out of the French Broad river. Stairs are steep but passable. There is one portable toilet, no other facilities.The walking/running/biking path is in good condition and connects to Carrier park and beyond.

Beautiful little park close to downtown Asheville. Took my dog on a short walk by the creek. If youre in a hurry, it works well.

Good little park with a Greenway that connects it to two other parks- Carrier Park and French Broad River Park. - I wouldnt travel just to visit this park but if youre in the area and looking for a place to run, try out your kiddos training wheels or walk your dog Id recommend it. I had a 20 mile run planned the day I visited Asheville so I parked my car at hominy and ran the trail several times starting at 8am. With the sun up and plenty of people around I felt safe.

Bathrooms seem dingy. The tree seem like all one species to me they tend to look sick droopy to me like they do not do well with all the moisture and periodic flooding. I do like the gazebo and the adjoining dog park.

This is a small park that is used for launching and terminating paddle trips down the French Broad River. Its also one end of the French Broad River Greenway, a popular walking and biking trail. There is only about ten parking spots for vehicles, so most people who are hiking and biking the trail use the parking lot at Carrier Park, which is at the midpoint of the Greenway.

Hominy Creek River Park is a nice park with picnic tables. the water access is a stairs (good for tubes but a bit hard for kayaks when busy). the park also has access to the French Broad River Green way. the -1 star is for no restroomsUpdate: Porta potty on site

Great place to walk a dog, take a run or bike ride, even launch a canoe. A little worse for wear the days after the high water.

Review №42

Great take out after floating through the Biltmore Estate.PARKING is a problem. Especially, if you have a trailer.The boat ramp is designed for Kayaks, Canoes and tubes. A little tough for drift boats and rafts, but doable with a winch.

Not much here for facilities. There’s a few picnic tables and a portapotty. But the nice thing is that this is one end of the greenway that connects to Carrier Park and the French Broad Dog Park. The trail is paved and shady. We actually like to park at the dog park and ride bikes to Hominy Creek, then stop for a beer at French Broad Outfitters before heading back.

Review №49

The guys that run the place are nice and accomodating , we have our own boat but they took us up river for a small fee...the French broad isnt much excitement and the homeless camps along the downtown section of the river sure ruin the experience...I lije the outfitter but cant recommend the city part of the river as a good choice....

As an end point of a long trail and also the road coming in, this is out of the way place but worth finding. A connection to the path on the other side of Brevard Road is needed.
