A very beautiful, very large park with great sights. Theres a trail around the lake that is the perfect length and gives an amazing view of other parts of the park. Its definitely one of my favorite places to walk, and there are so many trails that I never need to worry about it getting stale.

Great park! Rangers do a super job of keeping things clean and looking nice. Great playground including a fun space in a wooded area for lots of imaginative play. Nice walking trails around the park and lake. A great amphitheatre and a huge pavilion as well. Ample parking and a gorgeous field, perfect for open play. This is truly a gem for the town of Cary.

What a beautiful park to visit! I have always heard of Bond Park but never went there. Killing time last week and decided to roll through and what a wonderful surprise!! Several baseball diamonds, picnic pavilions, playgrounds for the kiddos. Did I mention water activities?? I will definitely be back once the heat and humidity subsides this summer season and CANT WAIT!!

This park is large, well kept, and stroller friendly! You can come here to fish picnic, bike, run, or take a leisurely stroll. There are several trails and green ways and I was surprised to see a sound stage and baseball field. I highly recommend this park!

We highly recommend this park for family. There are so many fun things to do: hiking, playground, biking and even renting the boats. We always spend a few hours every time we go there. There are many options for the trails depending on how long you would like to walk/ explore the nature. The trails are also shaded so it’s still nice in the summer.

We parked at the boat ramp and. rode west to the AT&T Trail, then we road north to the restrooms. We had a total round trip of 20 miles. This is a very scenic trail with curving path through woods and marsh land.We plan to return and ride north to Lake Crabtree soon.

Really nice community park. Well kept. Lots of facilities. You would never find this in a less affluent area. But it is nice and you should go. Trails and rental boats and fishing dock and very good signage and exercise equipment. And I only saw one portion of the park for a short amount of time.

Had a fun being here, trails, baseball playgrounds, lake rides, lake view and joyful events makes this park all-rounder.. nice greenery Round the park and parking is just enough... Im sure it gets over full during events. Convenient roads and banners to navigate any new comer to the park. Had a good kids play area for keeping all moms happy..I love to spend time in this park much...must visit once.

An amazing resource for Cary with a lake, boat launch, ball fields, picnic pavilions, playgrounds, community center, band shell amphitheater, and more. There are many special events but two of note: Kite Day and Spring Daze (craft & community festival).

Shelters, baseball fields, playground, small lake with a boathouse ( rowboats and peddle boats and canoes for rent) walking and running trails. Community center, pretty much everything you might want in a park.

Review №27

I grew up on this park and I could not be happier. The park is the perfect size, with a 2.5 mile trail around the entire lake (half being paved and the other half natural terrain), they have shelters, a community center, a boat house, baseball fields, and a wonderful playground. You can easily take the family and spend an entire day here. Bring a kite, a fishing pole, a good pair of trail running shoes, or just a blanket either way you are sure to have a merry time. Be careful on the natural terrain side of the lake trail if you are going with children, elderly, or someone who may need a little help since there are a good amount of places that you have to go single file.

Review №32

This is a great park all around. It is very spacious but done have quite a lot of people that go there - but not too many that youd be uncomfortable during a pandemic. Everyone tends to remain distanced from others and its in a wide open space. Before the pandemic it was often full of people, events, local performers, and an awesome playground.

This is a beautiful park. My dogs love it too. It has a 2-mile, mostly shaded trail that goes around the lake. Some of it is paved, but a large part is in the woods where you have to watch your step and not trip on any tree roots. It also has a nice little beach where lots of ducks hang out, and kayak rentals.

Beautiful park, lots of fun activities. Fishing along the bank is really peaceful. Lots of wildlife... Was just here on the 29th of April and we spotted a Black Rat snake close to the shore line so good idea to keep your eyes open and on the look out.

Review №46

I was really impressed with this park! There are all sorts of outdoor activities that anyone can enjoy: hiking/jogging trails; tennis; boating (only in season, of course); picnics; etc... theres even a childrens playground, where parents can let their kids play in a safe environment. If you just want to relax, you can take a seat near the lake; and when the mosquitoes come out in the Spring and Summer, you can sit in an enclosed section. It isnt bug-proof, but its certainly better than being completely exposed.Oh! Almost forgot the important part: the bathrooms are well maintained.

Open trails, parks, great for family adventures strolls around the lake. There are really nice facilities for families with young ones. Runners will also enjoy runs around the lake or for those that may want to go on the lake there a paddle boat rentals. This is one of the great places to be with family and friends. Check the events calendar for other going-ons at the park.

Beautiful park in the heart of Cary. Great combination of greenway and natural trails. The lake offers kayaking and paddle boating during the summer, and theres a big field next to the lake for flying kites, playing outdoor games, etc. There are also seven or eight baseball/softball fields that get a lot of use.Bond Park Community Center is located within the park and offers a variety of sports, activities and camps. The park also hosts a lot of cross country races and 5k races.

Went for Dog Days, got there early, plenty of parking all over the place if you don’t a little walk. But not a big deal as that’s part of why there. Lots of vendors, people and animals; open and lots of room. The chipping and 3 year rabies was great.

Visited this park while we were here on vacation! My whole family loved it, gorgeous views! We had a party in the screened boathouse and it was very nice and comfortable even had a furry friend peaking at us! Very friendly squirrel, my family enjoyed his antics! Park was very clean and plenty of parking. Very well kept bathrooms!

Huge lawn perfect for family weekend play, easy greenways, playground with trees shadow, beautiful lake views with fishing spots, and many multicultural events during the year. Different people to chat and build community. Really happy spot to go, and very quick & easy option for people not very used to challenging outdoors.

This is a gem inside of Cary. There is so much to do for all ages. We like to rent kayaks and paddle boats. The playground is fun for little ones and there is a shaded trail that goes all around the lake. Also, there is a large open area to fly kites or run around. Shelters are available to rent.. still want to try ropes course

Great small little lake that has kyaking, paddle boats, paddle boards, and conoes. It has catch and release fishing. Theres a nice trail that walks around the lake. Not recommended for running as parts of the trail have a lot of tree roots and other objects in the way. Other than that its a great area with a very nature feel to it.
