One of my kids favorite spots to swim. This area is just right for smaller kids too. Weve been there when theres been a good amount of people yet its never been too crowded and weve never run into a problem with any of the people being too rowdy Etc. Always a good time.

Great place to take a dip in the river. Bring some trash bags please and help keep it clean

Best park in Asheville.. Well tied with Carrier Park.. My 3 year old loves it and theres so much to do for all ages toddlers to adult.

A beautiful place. Several spots to go swimming at. Also has a pond and dog park. Lots of things to do there.

Such a nice place to take the kids to. Relaxing and peaceful, everyone else there is friendly

Not what it used to be. Tore down the wonderful playground Castle. Nothing but soccer fields. It used to be a favorite place.

The creek is near by. And great for rafting and fishing

Good relaxing,clean park and you must clean up behind your fur baby and have them on leash

This is actually across the street down the road a bit where the river is from the dog park

Go every chance i get love the place

Wide open beach fun! This is a social Mecca.

Sadly has been washed out with the flooding over the years. What once stood a wonderful playground is now empty. They have ample places to walk, as well as soccer fields, but make sure that it isnt flooded before you go.

I always love it.. I usually start up at the top swimming hole, hang out,cookout. Then Ill tube or. Swim with current further down to secluded spots so peaceful. Great place to enjoy company of others with privacy..

A took us a while to find the beach and the part of the river with the rocks in it that you could sit on, but it was worth the wait. It is so beautiful here. You can swim and fish or do both. There is also a small wading pool area for the little ones.

Very pretty park. Had soccer fields, a pool, a wildlife center, a public access to the river that was a nice looking swimming hole section, and looked like they had a dog park too.

Great place to walk

Great park with soccer fields, a play around and covered tables. Looks like they are doing some construction but it is coming along nicely and if you go on a Sunday (at Least in my experience) youll avoid the construction). If you go a little further down the road (Id recommend driving because the sidewalk ends) youll find Azalea dog park and a lake for fishing. Such a nice area in East Asheville!!

I enjoyed my day at the swimming hole. I am pleased that this area has been cleaned up so well. It is a beautiful and fun place to visit. Its great for people of any age. Its great and safe for the family. I recommend it for everyone to check out

My dog loves to run and play with other dogs and their considerate owners at the dog park. However, after a nasty winter the park is in disrepair with huge mud puddles ,which I must admit my dog loves but I dont, holes and patches of mud and dirt. Benches are dirty. Will there be any repair to this dog park?

Beautiful....just breathtaking

Great area to swim

Quiet atmosphere. Great place to relax.

Love this place

Nice place to swim... with a beach area

Beautiful place. hope they complete the renovation of the soccer fields soon.

Nice tucked away area. Water is cold so go on a hot day!

Great place to relax,cook out and enjoy the water with your family!

Easy access but way overcrowded

Good rc car, drone or rc boat spot, good fishing too

Nice Hiking Weather, Construction Hard At Making Repairs To The Rec Park

Coolest swimming hole around

Awesome place

Well it was exciting till you run into everyone that slept together or wants to or did sleep together lolololololololol

Lovely spot

This is the actual park I found

Lots of people and plenty of room to swim.

Love this park peaceful especially with the river.
