    Amazing park. There are three different trails and a huge lake. Summer walk would be amazing. Some trails are naturally formed and loved the way they maintained. They have enough parking. Get your own water as there stations are closed for winter or pandemic. Overall this is one wonderful park to have a picnic with family / have a nice hike.

    We love this park. We can spend hours here playing with kids, running and relaxing in sun. Lake view is beautiful. Trails are wonderful, paved, clean and less crowded. People here are very friendly.

    Beautiful park! It’s a great place to take a walk, sit by the water & have a picnic or just relax by the boathouse at one of the tables. Pet friendly area — I love seeing all of the cute dogs enjoying their walks. (Be sure to keep them on a leash)

    A great park for all. Liked walking on trails. There are many great paved and unpaved trails for walking and biking. The lake trail is of 2 miles. During rain unpaved trails get muddy however at some places park has small wooden bridges to walk on. This park has parking at many places, playgrounds, grassy fields, trails, boathouse, beautiful bond lake, shelters, kids play area, amazing amphitheater, restrooms, benches and picnic areas, baseball fields. It is a pet friendly park.

    Excellent choice if you want just a quick gateway in the middle of the city. And you can play soccer or do barbecue or kayaking or even hiking with your dog!.

    Beautiful park that we have been to many times. Very pretty, relaxing and many things to see. Nice place to kayak, walk around the lake and paved trails. Enjoy sitting on benches watching nature and life go by.

    A good place for a walk - the trail surrounding the lake was fun, and comfortable to walk on. On top of the dam also had a good lakeview. Took me around 40 minutes to walk around the lake.

    It's a really great area to walk with my dog. The nature is quiet, and there is plenty to do. Can be a bit rowdy by some of the more crowded areas, but overall still a good place to just relax and walk.

    Very nice place to take your family, has Pedal boats,sailboats and kayaks for rent. Had fun riding my scooter on the paved trails which is a long ride around the park and surrounding areas.

    This park and playground are absolutely amazing! So cool, so fun, and so creatively layed out! How awesome that the playground is just hidden back in the middle of the woods! 13 benches of picnic tables surrounding it too! Our son SO enjoyed himself here! 😁👍👍

    One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning is to wake up early and go hike around Bond Park. I’m a photo enthusiast that loves to get out into the woods and observe the natural beauty that bond park has to offer. No matter how many times I visit it keeps drawing me back for another visit.

    Beautiful park, wonderful walking trails and clean. View of the lake from the top of the hill makes a wonderful place to eat at provided picnic tables and play boardgames (on non-windy days) with friends & family.

    We had a lovely morning kayaking. The lake is quite small, but there is an abundance of wildlife for viewing. The rental prices are reasonable ($8/hr for a kayak), staff is friendly, and there is an abundance of parking, not to mention the surrounding trails if you are up for a walk. I will definitely be back.

    Took my boyfriend paddle boating on the lake. It was the last day they allowed paddle boats for rent so instead of 30min, they gave us an hour! Really pretty trees. We had a great time

    Large urban park with excellent walking trail system. Some unlaced sections which were muddy with the recent rain. There is a lake with paddle boats when opened for the season.

    Lazy Playground was a blast for our kids. Ages 2 & 7. It was perfect for both of them which is rare. I really enjoyed how quiet it was because it's nestled in the woods and Cary. This is a huge park with baseball fields and trails etc.

    Great park, lake and recreation area! I lived on Bond lake for over 10 years, and the trails are well maintained, as well as having a boat house to rent gear and/or go fishing, a park for the kiddos, and several ball fields plus more! Bond Lake is a whole family favorite, with so much to do!

    People of NC are lucky. What a place! Wow! The fact that you can walk around here and then also have a beautiful trail that you can walk into the city if you want to and just absorb the nature into your soul. That is something. That the locals here give it such an importance and keep it inviting is a plus. When you see people across age groups enjoying their time here along with their puppies, I for sure had the thought cross my mind if I should relocate to NC

    This is a very nice park. We usually come for concerts at the amphitheater. There is bench seating around the stage. There is a lovely lake with a picnic area and boat rentals. Lots of trails, some paved and easily accessible. Great place to spend a lovely afternoon!

    What an amazing Park, It is one of the big parks in the area given how crowded the area has gotten with homes all around. Glad Cary town municipal did not disturb the park in any way. It is indeed an Oasis in the middle of Cary. They also have great event halls and Cary residents gets discounts for event, You do need to book in advance. Kayaking here is great too. Its about $8 or $10 for a Kayak. Staff is great. Trials are good, there is a open lake trial for about 2 miles which is great on summer days. No dog restrictions on most part of the park.

    So much fun things to do! We walked the trail around the lake, but you can bike it too. Fish, kayak, see the ducks, etc. Free parking and restrooms too.

    Lovely Park with lots of amenities, ball fields, playgrounds, lake with kayaking or paddle boating, fishing. Lots of fun to be had while enjoying nature.

  • 5/5 Greg F. 2 years ago on Google
    Just found out about this part today and went for a trail hike it is a very big park and it is absolutely gorgeous there very long trails around a lake With additional break off trails to take different path depending on how far you want to hike! There’s a community center, boat ramp, paddle boats, 2 baseball/softball fields, several other buildings but I’m not sure exactly what they’re for.

    We took a pedal boat. Nice place, you can even fishing there. Nice playground, fresh air

  • 5/5 Buy Sell With L. 2 years ago on Google
    So fun! Loved the options, and $8 per hour for the row boats and kayaks is a steal! I would only recommend don't take your phone in the kayak, if you fall in, you'll never get it back...

  • 5/5 Vikki 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful park with long walking and biking trails. There’s a large field where you can watch the sunset over the trees and across the pond.

  • 5/5 John N. 2 years ago on Google
    We hiked around the lake trail. Be warned it is not bicycle or stroller friendly. Lots of roots on the trail, it was barely over 2 miles but a very nice walk. Would do it again

    A beautiful place. Went to a wedding there. It was lovely. I would never have married there though. Enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.
