Reviews of Carrier Park

Nicholas Nocek

Nice park, everything was clean. Cool concept for a speedway in the park. Bridges is a bit weird to access and get into the park. Hockey rink had great pavement, speedway had well maintained surface. Playground was clean.

matthew meacham

Let me tell you something this park right here is a whole different place. It has so much to offer a roller skating rink a large track to walk or cycling and an amazing kids play ground for big kids and little ones they have 2 concted basketball courts. They also have 2 sand valley ball courts as well as large areas of open Grass fields and that's just in the main play are they also have miles of Trails that run along the water and are just so well maintained what a Beautiful place for the community we are from out of town and you could spend at least 1 whole day exploring all the things they have here so happy we stumbled apon it. My favorite part is its also completely wheelchair accessible. Felt very family friendly. They have 2 Porta pottys that were well maintained.

My son participated in his first 5k here. There was plenty of space for runners participating and those that came for their morning exercise. There's a smaller track that takes about 12 laps for a 3 miles jog/walk, and a larger track that encompasses the entire park. This park contains a space for skating, biking and other wheeled activities and a nice size playground where minting social distance is possible. I believe this space even connects to the River Arts trails. So glad this space exists for family events and more!

Joe Starnes

Done my first ever 5k in this park. It was amazing. To run by the river and on the trails. Some dirt and some paved. I was delighted and so happy to experience it. Especially with my son and his first 5k as well. It was the spooky run. I hope it becomes a ritual every year. So beautiful with the leaves changing.

Tyler Davis, Your Asheville Broker

One of my favorite places in Asheville! I’m here 5 days a week to workout, ride bikes, walk my dog, play frisbee, volleyball, etc. Opportunities are endless! Best park in AVL

Jessica Bailey

Great spot! Would recommend and love updated volleyball sand for the courts!

Liz Sanford

Great park for families with a wide age spread — my 15 year old plays basketball, my 13 year old reads a book on the grass, my 8 year old uses the playground, and my toddler plays in the sand or uses the Melowdrome on his balance bike.

Tia Louize

Our favorite playground! Super easy to park and play. Safe park with fencing all around. Has a track to run, bike, skate, or scooter! Hockey, basketball court and so much more! Always new friends to be found at Carrier Park!

Michael G Grimes

Out of town review. Great park to stop at with young kids on a road trip. It’s not far off the highway - clean bathrooms - great play areas.

Cracr Jac

Great place, near to Downtown Asheville. Lots to do, inclined bike 1.5 mile track. Basketball, Huge kids area, White Sand Volleyball area, Roller Hockey the works.

j wood

Hockey. Love that I can play. Roller skating parties are fun too. Good volleyball courts, basketball courts, and velodrome. Restrooms are nice, but I am not a fan of the Porto potties.

Matthew Parks Sr.

Overall a nice place. The track around the park is great as well as the hockey rink and the basketball courts. The kids play area is one area that needs some attention. It is a wooden structure but there are several boards that are weak when you step on the and some of the equipment is broken. The play set does need some tlc and things like the rotten wood or broken or worn out equipment need to be fixed or replaced.

Matt Brann

Cool velodrome, saw cyclists and skaters using it. Roller skating rink on site and sand volleyball and playground. Tons to do in addition to the trails along the river.

Jason Amond

This park has it all! Next to the French Broad River. Great for riding bikes and walking/walking. It has beach volleyball courts, basketball courts, hockey rink, and a playground.

Amber Goff

We love Carrier Park! There is a playground, basketball court, hockey area, and a track that goes around for bikes, scooters, etc. There is also a greenway that goes right past there so you can walk for miles.

Jacob Cooper

I cant say enough about this park, my kids love it, they both have been at this john since infancy. They flip out if I say we are going and something happens. Besides for kids this is another great first date and last date spot. I love those. A river walk about 2 miles in length all in all ending at a dog park. Great jogging trail.

Ines Rios

Great place for families;picnic spaces, big playground, basketball court and even hockey and biking trail.

Eric Cheng

Fantastic place. If you are looking for the playground, it's in the centre of the velodrome. It's an extensive one with all sorts of things for all ages. Velodrome is used by a variety of people and truly reflect a public space that encourages physical exercise. Basketball courts and friendly people are all part of the mix. We would definitely love to spend a bit more time here next time!

Mariya

What an amazing park! It has a roller skating rink all the way around the perimeter of the entire park. Plus, the sand volleyball courts are phenomenal. The wooden bridge walkway is wonderful, and the playground for children is a great little oasis away from the city. I would definitely recommend this as a family-friendly park located in a convenient area of town. May the Lord bless you and keep you always as you enjoy His beautiful creation at this lovely outdoor venue.

Kevin Ballantine

This park is great. It is right next to a river and has a biking and jogging track. Also a really neat Geocache is located here!

Ryan Cameron

Great Park for the whole family! We enjoyed the playground and the basketball court! If you have small kids take them to the bathroom before walking to the park area, it's a little far away. There are also some nice benches nearby to sit and eat. Would definitely come back!

Hammer J. Helmer

Carrier Park is clean, safe, and has a wonderful assortment of areas to enjoy that include baseball/softball fields, sand volleyball courts, a bike track, a hockey rink, basketball courts and more. Clean bathroom facilities, a huge walking trail... I love playing Asheville Roller Hockey there!

Tom Henderson

Also great, fairly level, easy bike and walking trails next to the river and close to the Art District of Asheville. Lots of picnic opportunities.

Verelle Tomford

The playground here is wonderful! There’s also basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, a skating rink, a cycling/running circuit, and probably more.

Chris

This is the former home of the Asheville Motor Speedway. It's now a 1/3 mile velodrome and walking track with in-line hockey and basketball courts as well as a large wooden playground for kids. Just outside the track is a lawn bowling area and public restrooms.

Anthony Venable

Great park right by the river with nice walking/bike trails. Pet friendly.

Melody Green

Circular track for bikes with lanes for speed differences. Playground for climbing, swings and slides, volleyball, basketball, hockey, etc. With wheelchair access.

Tom Tramutola

In the area visiting pleasantly surprised had a little bit for everything from the kids to the grown ups one porta potty was less than satisfactory

Matt Natalie

I used to go to the races here a lot as a kid. Now it's been turned into a very nice family park. They have incorporated the track into the park, allowing use for biking and walking. Also, a small area dedicated to the history of the speedway, which I found very nostalgic. Lots of things for the kids to do, along with lots of walking areas along the river. definitely a nice place for the entire family.

Mic Breeze

Best park in Asheville, no arguement.. Huge park for kids of all ages, basketball courts, full track, baseball field, open field, picnic area. Swing sets are taken down currently for whatever reason but still a lot of fun.. My son loves coming here.. Nothing like FREE FUN OUTSIDE!

Mark

Well TODAY the park wore ne out! The weather was beautiful with the fall crispness in the air. I ended up walking/ running for over 4 miles! Wonder place to enjoy being outside.

Dave Moore

Nice small park next to the river. Pretty setting, good place for kids or to go for a run or ride on the path

Wayne Hoglen

I've lived most of my life in and around Buncombe County, the home of Carrier Park. As the city of Asheville can be proud of its greenways, Carrier Park has to be the elite of parks in the area. Built around the old "New Asheville Speedway", the park offers unique fun-filled family experiences, ranging from biking, walking, roller hockey, picnicking, and so much more. My time at the park recently was based on food, as family gathered for a meal, following a memorial service for a relative. Though somber the mood, the love of family and friends in the park, alongside the French Broad River on a beautiful afternoon, brightened the spirits of everyone there. Though sheds are available, we chose to be out in the open on that sunny day. And as most days, the park didn't disappoint with plenty of families gathered to enjoy an autumn afternoon in Asheville. If you're not familiar with Carrier Park, you have access to the track via a ramp/steps. Got a bike? Simply push it up and over the winding ramp and enjoy a "fantasy bike race" around the oval track, once used for stock car racing. Local legends raced in Asheville for years down by the river on Friday nights during the season. Now, with a memorial and a paved track still intact, that part of the park is preserved for other types of memories and fun entertainment. I give the park a 4 Star review, selfishly I might add. I was one of many thousands of fans that cherished my time at the speedway when I was just a boy. Friday Night Lights are known for its High School Football these days, but back in the 1970's, it was under the pretence of racing in Asheville. My favorite place to be on a Friday night back in the day, watching my favorite, Bob Presley and his red #54 whipping around the track, competing with other local racing legends, as racing fans from all over, like acting legend James Garner and others, come to enjoy the engines roaring into the night. Reasons as to why the track closed is still argued in inner circles today. And racing fans still seem bitter as to why, and understandably so. But that doesn't mean, even though racing has been missing in Asheville for many years, even race fans completely understand the fact that the unique quality Carrier Park has much to offer the fair citizens of our community, and tourists alike. Bored with the downtown scene and all the negativity that even a small city can bring in an atmosphere of discontentment? Try out an afternoon of fun at Carrier Park. Play some volleyball or ride a bike. Even bring a meal for later. Don't forget the chicken, I might be pretty hungry. Oh, that's right! It's a public park, but unwanted guests looking for a drumstick isn't one's "cup of tea". I prefer thighs myself! Oh, and one more thing, there has been flooding over the years, and Carrier Park has been under water often enough. Roller blade at your discretion during those times of, shall we say, "high tide". Enjoy Carrier Park, and remember, there are still some good in the world, when there doesn't seem to be.

JDS

Lawn Bowling, Skate Park, Dog play area and all sports from Tennis, softball, baseball, etc.... Very nice park to chill at right off Downtown Asheville.

Janessajaygeo George

4 stars because I need there to be a bar here. I love my kids and I love this playground but holy balls I can only play with munchkins for so long!

Elizabeth Squires

Cool retired speedway. Still has track for anyone on wheels. Nice playground for toddlers too.

Heidi B

My dog decided to get in the river at Carrier park. Lol. It was nice and spacious and a great place to spend some quality time outside with your dog! Get outside folks.

Nicole Offenheiser

A huge park in West Asheville! This park has a huge wooden playground, basketball courts and a huge track where people rollerblade and ride bikes around. It's a cool set up because to get to the track you have to go up a ramp which takes you to the center of the park. Another great aspect of this park is the Greenway trail which connects to French Broad River Park.

Rachel Beiler

This park has a lot to offer. It has beach volleyball courts, basketball courts, hockey arena, bike track, walking paths, and more! Beautiful location by the river as well.

Niya Donova

Nice park but it pops up when looking for a dog park and there is none, it is actually further down the street at Riverview.

Cory Torrella

Can someone do me a huge favor and copy-paste this exact park to somewhere in north Charlotte? That would be great. Going over the board walk to enter gives it a different experience than any other park that I’ve ever been to.

Kelsey Small

This park is great for kids of all ages. It has a wonderful playground, basketball courts, hockey rink and plenty of green space!

Michael Barnett

Great park for all ages. They have a playground area, volleyball, basketball, running and walking track. Oh! And a rink for roller skates- rollerblading.

Shajeet Bashu

Good playground for kids to spend a few hours. Has a nice track amd trial to bike around.

Barbara Loftis

This place has a playground inside of a paved velodrome which is surrounded by a park with walking trail. There are bridges connecting areas with stairs and ramps. Many families seemed to be enjoying the area, but there was plenty of space to spread out. Our extended family had a great time here New Year's weekend. The grandparents, kids, and grandkids all enjoyed riding bikes on the track. My husband tried out his new electric bike too. When we tired of riding we parked and sat at one of the picnic tables. The playground had lots of climbing choices plus the traditional playground items. Kids of all ages were enjoying themselves. The walking trail out around the velodrome was busy too.

Lekeitha Ward

Great open area for exercising or taking the kids to the park. Beautiful walking trails alongside the river and a large playground for kids of all ages. Restroom facilities, basketball, volleyball, roller hockey and an old Asheville Speedway track to use for rollerblading or cycling. Something for everyone!

Elena Wall

Went to an impromptu birthday party for my daughter's friend by the pavilion. There are trash cans and grills available, as well as many tables. Also there are trees good for climbing, can hold five little girls simultaneously

nayda matta

Had our department picnic there, great covered picnic area alot of space and ok parking.

Liz Bell

Best Park I've ever been to! They have so much to do , coming from the coast I didn't know public parks like this existed! Hockey rink, kids parks and tot lot. Basketball court w bleachers, volley ball, handicap ramp access and don't forget the old race track that's for running, skating and bike riding etc. I feel like I'm forgetting something but THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! plenty of room to picnic and pet friendly!

Unknown

Our child absolutely loves this park. Very well built and thought out

Michael Omen

surprisingly large park that's got playground stuff for kids as well as a walking area for adults.

Madison Christopher

Very nice park with lots of things for kids to do but I wouldn’t recommend if you are handicapped because it’s a long walk to the playground over a bridge. It does have a ramp but it was difficult for us with 4 kids so I can’t imagine someone trying to do it with special needs.

Robert Rode

Open air skating rink. Long and skateable paved running and biking track.

Anna Brown

Lovely park by the river. Nice play structure, cool bike track, plenty of paths for walking.

Maggie Quinn

So cool to have a playground inside an old racetrack! Loved the wooden play structure. My 7-year-old's favorite part was the tire swing underneath a hole you could climb up. My 3-year-old nephew liked the sandbox best.

Jim Faryewicz

Great place for kids of all ages. Friendly parents as well

Andy Carley

Velodrome! Cool local park with lots of different people from different strokes using it. It was like a movie set park. Tons of people everywhere are just having a good time. Between the volleyball court, the basketball courts and the play set. Cool little gem of a Park.

Ashleyanne Cracchiolo

Okay, wow. This place was cool. I went here on a whim with my son, and I will definitely be back! This place has something for everyone. Swings for every age, multiple playground/play forts, picnic tables, basketball, hockey, sand volleyball, a huge track for running, biking, ect. This place seriously has it all! I wish I was a kid again so I could go on all of the play sets! This is the best park I have found in Asheville by far.

Mike Keller

Nice park for small to older kids. Swings, numerous wooden structures with stairs and slides. Large bike and roller skating loop, basketball court, sand volleyball court, and a roller hockey rink. One handicapped- accessible swing.

Sean Rambo

Decent park, probably alot more beautiful when in bloom. Two parking lots plenty of space, be careful coming a day after it rains, it's a low point right next to a river and there is mud everywhere

Michelle Williams

HONESTLY, I wish it was still the race track, I MISS local racing! It was nice, walking the track with my LOVE, seeing the different thing to do there. Also the memories of my younger years going to watch the race!!

Suzanne Norton

Super cool park with so much to do! I love the bike/walking path that takes you to Harmony Creek and French Broad River. Very family oriented. Very friendly people.

Justin Shytle

This is my go to park. I go for my dog needs, which has a fairly good dog park. It’s usually always a good trip there. Some fights I’ve seen but luckily nothing to serious. I ride my skateboard on the track which is pretty nice, and my daughter loves the playground. Sometimes it’s super overcrowded. I have also had some bad exchange’s with bicyclist riding super fast on slim walkways.

Jackie

So many things to do here! great for roller skating

Randy Rivera

Very nice park to run or ride your bike

Jett Black

We go skating in the velodrome here and love to walk around the paved park trails. It's very fun and not crowded, a great way to get out in the sun!

amy E

Best lil spot to ride bikes.. Or anything for that matter... Right by the French Broad River.. Just such an awesome spot.. 💯👍 …

jack king

It was okay a little hot they need some more places for shade for people to see it when they're watching their grandkids run around and play and the water fountain did not work other than that it's a fairly nice place

Kathryn Domagala

Location is good to park if you want to bike along the River- but for biking purposes I rated the park a little lower. We ended up catching flat while we were here, and the repair station was missing several important parts that would have been useful. Bathrooms were what you expect at a public park- but really we only stayed around for 30 minutes.

Andy Dice

Had a great time. It was fun walking around the old track and reading some of the history of the drivers, and then walked right up to the river, and walked a good ways on a paved walk way along the river. They have a nice campground bring your camper, not Shure if the have tent camping or not but all around it was a nice day to get out and walk and enjoy being outside. Had a lot of fun. Next time we are bringing the kids so they can play on the playground. The playground is in the grass in the middle of the old race track. It's great.

Frank Dosier

Great place for children's and adults. There's a 1/4mi. banked track for all ages suitable for young children on push scooters to adults on racing bicycle, all at the same time. Great design. There is also a large climbing structure for children, bocce ball, and Greenway.

Lizelyn Santiago

Nice place for a family gathering. There're area for eating, playing basketball and sand volleyball, running and a wonderful kids' playground. There sanitary facilities were available, clean and with the corresponding supplies.

Grey

Great park, lots of wild edibles here!

Emily Rommel

This park is awesome! I come to rollerskate the track and within the rink and I love it. It would also be a great place to bring kids- it also has a playground, sand volleyball, basketball, and a big field!

Gen GremSpring

PERFECT for ALL ages...bicycle on a track, play ball on a court, have a picnic under the trees, take your little ones on to the really thought-out playground, and have yourself a full day! Our family of 4 had a really nice time.

Sara Stahlman

Love this park! We skate and bike around the velodrome track, skate on the roller rink and play on the grass, vb courts and playground. Plus we love the beautiful walking paths near the river. It's got something for everyone!

Stacey Vargas

Best park in town for children and adults. So much to do! Skating, biking, basketball, hockey, exercise classes, volleyball, and even Lawn bowling (whatever that is). There is also a nice little trail to walk along the river here. Highly recommended!

Clyde Ashley Sherman (Determine Sherman)

I had alot of fun in the Park. The Unity Day event was done very well. The games and guest speakers made my day.The weather was great and the food..Especially the deep Fried FISH! I participated in the Spades Card tournament...I made it to the championship however the Rules Director could not stop an over aggressive opponent that believed the championship was not the best 2 out 3...They won the first game got up and took the trophy and drove off..:(

Trunnis Goggins

Greatest park in North Carolina hands down. They have so much to do there

Mariya Johansen

Oh my goodness I wish I had a park like this near me it legit has everything you need. Track, playground,hockey, basketball, fields all “fenced in” to access this area you have to cross the bridge. They also had a walking path around the hole park we did not venture on the other side which had a lot more things as well definitely worth checking out

BR W

Great park! Paved trail, green fields, lawn bowling, hockey area, and a track for skating or speed riding. Always full of families enjoying the outdoors. The river has kayaking.

Lauren Miranda

Nice park right outside Asheville. Lots of amenities. My daughters loved the castles.

Lakshmi Bhimanapati

Nice park,kids love to play ,there is bicycle lane which can be used for multiple ways like for roller blades,scooters..bit no public restrooms I didn't see,only vault toilet

J

Love this park! It's very big. There's a track to walk around, skate on, push your little one in a stroller, ride your bike, jog on. It's very open and I feel safe there with my little guy. Get plenty of exercise at this park! And the kids get to release the extra energy they have 😊! …

GOA ***

Awesome park, but there's always someone smoking weed. The last time I took my children, we all witnessed a scary guy yelling at 3 kids. There seems to be a problem of some sort everytime we go.

Aaron Blackmor

Fantastic park with lots of sporting options and a trail along the river.

Sally Noble

Multi-use park by the river for athletics, dog walks, biking, etc. Greenway connects to other parks along West Asheville

Dave Tinker

A really nice park with lots of great amenities, there's even a velodrome! I don't think I've ever seen that in any other public park ever. There is tons of green space, sidewalks and trails as well. This is a great place to walk your dog, get outside for some exercise and fresh air, or take a picnic and just relax.

Barbara Latinka

Super fun place for the kids. Playground, basketball court and skating rink inside a bicycle track! How fun!

Emily Moore

Carrier Park is uniquely designed and a favorite park of mine. It has: open, grassy space; sandy volleyball courts; baseball fields; a roller hockey rink; and a wonderful playground that is being upgraded. The track that surrounds the inner park has a slanted outer edge typical of a racetrack (due to the fact that is was a racetrack for many years). There are also other trails surrounding the park for bike riding, walking, running, etc. 😄

perjen tovi

This is one of the most beautiful parks I’ve ever been to! I just moved to Asheville and I’ve never seen such a nice park. Everyone was respectful of the social distancing for the most part, and stayed within their family/friend groups. There’s so much to do here!

Jeffrey DeCristofaro

A beautiful area sitting by the shore of the French Broad, plenty of wide open spaces for public activities, not to mention that it's not too far from the River Arts District. Excellent for modeling and filming shoots, community events, weddings and summer sports!

Brian King

Former race track along the French Broad river turned into community park for biking, volleyball, roller hockey and huge play structure for the little ones. Also connects to the French Broad river park via a bike/ walking path along the river. Nice clean spot for families to enjoy together

David Sand

A really nice park with activities for all ages. Bicycle trails and walking trails that are relatively easy, picnic with shelters are onsite. Since the park is located next to the French Broad River kayaking, tubing, and canoeing are available. Its great to be at the park than stuck inside.o

Allan Pugh

Always so much to do. Bike riding and walking, trail are the primary reason for our visits. The wood playground is nice as well.

Wonder Pines

Always fun, clean an mostly safe..

jane miller

Carrier park is a good flat track for walking. Many people like to take their dogs here. You can get on a dirt side path if you want to take in a view of the water. It's not a large area to walk but a good place to get fresh air, and there are picnic tables if you want to picnic.

David-Michael Cone

Great activity area. We just did the playground but the bike track and other amenities looked great. Most all the parents at the playground wore masks which was nice to see even outdoors.

ChipATG 1

Very different from many parks I've been to, but it has some cool stuff including a skating risk in the middle of a retired circular race track that has been converted to a running track bicycle track skating track.... with there corresponding lanes. It is big and (for those not familiar with the common western North carolina landscape) it is very flat... which is rare around here, so it is great for running and biking skating. I'm a marine Poolee and my local recruiting office meets there to practice our workouts, so there is plenty of room to run, and workout. I high recommend this place. Very good and has a little variety in compared to some other parks.

Ashley Drake

Love this park but you need to be ready for a lot of walking to get inside

Jay jai Martin

A great park by the river. Be awesome if the race track was still around. But. You wonna run your kids to sleep this big wide open park is the park for you.

Martin Lemyre

Great park to bring the family. Very well put together playground, basketball, a full enclosed rink, a banked race track ( formerly for car racing), now an interesting track for biking. The whole park is along the side of a beautiful River, which you can enter into for all manner of water activities.

Lindsay Dunn

Well maintained, great playground, track for biking, walking, jogging, scooters, roller blades, etc... clean restrooms, and there are bike tools/pump provided here! Playground/ basketball courts/ beach volleyball courts/ roller hockey rink and grassy area are all enclosed by the track that surrounds it, so kids and balls can't escape to the parking lot or street. No dogs inside that area, but there is also a fantastic partially shaded path that is adjacent ti the enclosed area. It's paved and has some optional trail sections that runs along the river here (outside of the enclosed space. There are a few pavilions too. Versatile park!

Alyxia Starling

It's not too bad. There is lots of space to play in and to walk/ride around. Some of the terrain near the playground needs some gravel to fill the low areas.

Joseph Bradford

Great place to unwind from the city environment. Trails to walk, grass to lounge on. Place to play ball or throw a frisbee.

J.J. Colagrande

Great park, definitely the best in Asheville, wonderful shady trail along the river, totally dog friendly..

Jonathan Kelman

One of our favorite family play spots in Ashevegas -- nice playground and some pleasant spots to access the French Broad, plus you can easily connect to it via the Greenway in the river district. Only kicker is that there's very little shade on the playground itself.

David Cleary

I love this park. It’s by the river and is a great place to walk, run, ride, or my favorite, play Pokémon go. The people seem happy to be there and there are places to play street hockey, volleyball and basketball that are often busy in a nice way. It’s really relaxing and one of my favorite parts of the city.

Joshua Harrington

Great little park to walk around and check out some wildlife and the river. Kind of busy but there are some longer trails from the parking lot that go up to a summit. Oh yeah, bring your fly rod if you're into that.

Ben Steere

One of my family's favorite parks in Asheville. The banked track is a great place for kids to ride bikes. Great park for running; you can do laps on the trails around the park or access the greenway system.

mc musician

Carrier Park is an awesome place to spend a warm sunny day. It is family and pet friendly. There is even an old race track open to all of the skateboarders/longboarders, bikers and such. If you like to explore there are several places throughout the park and the the left and right of the the park that hold amazing little hidden trails and spots for just taking in the view that are well worth the search. All together this park is great for anyone looking to spend some time in the good ol' out doors.

Jerry Haft

Carrier Park is a multi-purpose outdoor recreational facility along the French Broad River in Asheville. Though compact in size, Carrier Park attracts individuals of all ages. Carrier park offers sport facilities for baseball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and even inline hockey. For those who enjoy a more gentle outdoor experience, there is even a bocce ball court. There are multi-use walking and bicycle paths for visitors of all ages to experience. On a recent visit, I enjoyed a circular walk of 1 1/2 miles around the facility and the surrounding banks of the French Broad River. The star attraction of Carrier Park is the 1/3 mile velodrome. For those unaware of its history, NASCAR held dirt track races here from the early 60s to around 2000. The land was eventually purchased and gifted to the city. The city upgraded the track to the banked circular bicycle track you see today. The velodrome is formerly recognized by USA Cycling Association but is more commonly referred to as the mellowdrome by locals. The term describes the mild banking to which riders of all ages of fixed bicycles can enjoy whatever level of riding experience you hold. I very much enjoyed my time at Carrier Park, and I hope you all give it a visit soon yourself. I think you will come away just as satisfied.

Brandon Aero

I love this park, you can play volleyball, basketball, there's plenty of space for kids to play, you can ride ur bike around the track, get in the French broad if that's really what u wish to do. So much room for fun

Will Chatham

I really enjoy this park, especially going on runs. It's great to start at French Broad River Park, then go the 2.5 miles down to Hominy Creek Park and back. Carrier is in the middle, and it's a nice stop for water it restrooms if needed. The playground is fun for the kids, and the mellowdrome is always interesting to watch.

AG HA

An amazing park along the French broad river! It connects you to many other trails leading to the dog park or the french broad greenway. Flat land for many activities. Many groups are able to play numerous types of games and sports because it is wide open in many areas. Many shady spots to lounge and read. Perfect of a walk or run.

Kalyn Cogdill

Great park and place to ride bike. Construction on bike track now but will be great once finished. Only 4 stars though because the bathroom is so far from the actual playground. Hard when you have little ones that need to potty right away.

Nicholas Dudde

Now that the track is redone, this place is great for biking, skating, roller-blading, there is a playground section for kids (and a sub-section for the smallest ones) with swings, there is a basketball court, a roller-blade hockey rink, trails, river access, a baseball field, and restrooms. It's great.

Johnny T

Recently updated hockey rink and basketball courts have done a lot to bring this park ahead.

Greenleaf Clarke Prentice

Excellent use of riverfront floodplain land! We love going here to walk, picnic, and read. The only major shortcoming, like most city parks, is that it needs more food foresting and poly-culture ground cover!

Cailey Shuler

I love carrier park it is the best park around here and it is so fun my friends and I go there to practice basketball when the gym isn't available i love it. I have been going there since I was 2. You can play volleyball ride your bike play basketball, hocky, baseball and so much more. Plus it's right by the river. It's a family friendly park I totally recommend going there.😊😁🏞🚲

Justin Tank

Fun little park for younger kids. My kids are 10 and 12 they still managed to enjoy themselves as we were burning time.

Tabitha Clark

This is one of our favorite parks in Asheville. Lots of playground equipment, other kids, race track is great for bikes, and you can walk down to check out the river.

Jimmy Warren

Cool park with nice amenities but they do not allow dogs inside the velodrome which is where the basketball courts and large playground area are. Kind of a bummer being from out of town, packing up the hound to come with in this amazing dog friendly city, and then not being able to take him in to a public park. My wife took the kids to the playground as they had their heart set, and I had to stay outside the walls with the dog. I must say I was shocked based on how dogs are typically accepted everywhere in Asheville.

Brad Ohlson

It's a great park... Gets a little crowded for me, I guess that's part of being a great park

JC Cobb

I come to Carrier Park these day's with my children. They love it!. But actually I myself have been coming to Carrier Park when it was a car race track. Back in 1990 was the first time I watched a car race there!. They also held the annual Carnival there!. A church that I use to attend had their annual 4th of July Cookout at the Pavillion at Carrier Park!. I have had a great time at Carrier Park over the past 30+ years. And hope to have many more great years of fun, and laughter at Carrier Park!. I hope that you too, have great laughter, and fun at Carrier Park, whether you're with family or by yourself!!!!.

Micki White

I occasionally take my son to this park. Some of the playground equipment is not taken care of well, or partially falling apart. But it serves its desired purpose, he loves it. The biggest thing I find as an issue is the fact that the bathrooms are a distance from the playground. When you have a younger child that is near potty training age, trying to get over the bridge fast enough is stressful.

Ben Leeds

Carrier Park is a fantastic place to have nearby. The facilities are usually in good shape, things are lit at night, the have good volleyball courts. It's always busy, and parking is sometimes hard to find, but the lot on the left side when facing the river is almost never full in my experience.

Kristen Lee

Paths connect with other parks to allow for longer distances, good parking, nice places to sit, and public restrooms. Also, the track is a unique feature not seen in other parks. River access also a big draw.

Story Time

I love this park. Lots of shady trees, a path around the park close to the river, and an amazing play ground. Vollyball courts with sand, a padded basketball court, a street hockey rink and a walking/ bike riding track. Literally everything. Bathrooms and a gazebo.

Maite P

Visited this park while on vacation and while it looks a little shady/scary as you get there, I felt perfectly safe once I was inside. Lots of people everywhere exercising, kids and families playing, people playing sports, and people relaxing and enjoying nature. Loved the velodrome!!!

Trevor Ray

Lots of space to let the kids run and play. Volley ball nets , basketball court, walking or biking or scooter track. A trail by the river and lots of Poke'stops and pokemon gyms if your into that kinda thing like my kids.

billy secor

Wow...amazing park! Our lil guy loved the wooden "fortresses" and slides. Pretty impressed by the roller hockey rink, too! Wife says cleanest public restrooms she's used in a while.

Brian Chernick

Good sized park. Has track for running, biking, and rollerblading. There is also a hockey rink and basketball court. The playground which is what we went for is of need of repair. It it mostly wood and most of that wood is really old. Several planks are ready to break when walked on. It is a creative castle like setup which was cool.

Crepto Knight

This is the best city park in the AVL hand's down, and one of the best places for bike rideing in the area. Not only are the connecting bike paths very convenient, but the oval track is the star of the show, not just for the bike, but for roller skating also. There is also an interesting monument here showcasing the history of the park from the day's when it was a race track. I recommend Carrier Park to locals and visitors alike for outdoor activities.

Amber Goff

Great place for kids to play or ride bikes while the parents get some steps in around the track.

Azoraa Tre'lok

I have had many pleasant walks along the river-side path ways here. Nice place to walk dog or spend time outside. Can do a short walk or go all the way to the end of a paved trail that connects the end of the park to another one farther out. Mostly away from traffic except for a piece of connecting sidewalk that skirts around a fenced out polluted section. If that area would be cleared and the trail joined there, I would give five stars. *I would highly recommend only going during the day time unless you are looking for trouble or shady circumstances.

Mike Belanger

The western section of this park is fairly nice with walking paths that have plenty of shade, but the further east you go the sketchier it gets. I have found hypodermic needles here and had interactions with homeless people here as well.

Bryten Rene Phares

A TON of pokestops. Great trails. Plenty of room to ride bikes on sidewalk and on/off track. Hockey rink, playground and a big dog park. Great for picnics. TONS of tables for outdoor parties. Clean, nicely maintained grounds. Love to go and ride bikes!

Josh Folse

There is something for everyone in my family at carrier park. I love that it's the old Asheville racetrack. Plenty of walking paths. A huge playground. Basketball court. Roller hockey rink. The bridge over the track to get in is a bit inconvenient. But overall we love coming here.

Sabrina Surrett

Currently the ground is very wet and mushy and muddy. but that's not the grounds cheaper spot where you just have a lot of rain lately. I love having some place to go to fly a kite with my granddaughter.

Belinda London

Good place to relax. Take the kids to bike or play in the kids area. Good place to walk for exercise also. We had a birthday party there today under the pavilion. Great except for the stink bugs.

Kristina Kitchen

This park is so incredibly unique! If you are in Asheville make a pit stop here with your kiddos.

Chris Lynch

Great park for a day outside. With lots to do; a old circle race car track that is used by bicycle now, 2 beach volleyball courts (minus the surf), basketball court, hockey rink, baseball diamond , bocce ball, great playground for the kids. With a pavilion, restrooms, and lots of parking it's great for outside parties. There's a walking / running / biking loop trail that gives access to the French Broad River Greenway, it starts in the park, continues along the river one way to French Broad River Park then the other end to Hominy Creek River Park.

Linda Lutz

Avoid if there has been any rain recently. Paths get flooded out easily and turn into large slippery mud pits. It's been a long time since the mulch has been renewed along the river paths.

Erica Jackson

Carrier Park is one, if not, my favorite park to visit with my family. There is 2 main playgrounds being aged based (1-5yrs),(7&up). The park also has a volleyball net with white sand, makes anyone feel like they are slapping a ball on the beach! Not to mention a hockey ring, so bring some skate's! It's a great location and also is nestled right beside the French Broad River. So many things to do and get into at Carrier Park!!

Alexis Unknown

Is a great park, typically has a lot of people there. My 4 year old loves the playground, and it offers so much.

Bob Daley

Ran the path and the trail. Ran to French Broad River Park for more miles. The velodrome looked cool. Kids on bikes were having fun.

Kayla Hobbs

Kids love it! Time of the day is very important though, too early or too late and you have a lot of people just hanging out. Unfortunately before I really let the wild ones run I do a needle check, at least half the time there are a few that need cleaned up.

Susan L

I like walking here with my dog because it is flat, spacious and there are shaded trails if you like. Also rode a bike in here which was nice. Not too crowded during the week.

David Taylor

Outstanding park with creative repurposing of the old raceway. Intricate playground. Ample sporting opportunities for runners, cyclists, basketball, roller hockey, lawn bowling (!), and beach volleyball. The only reason I give it four stars is that a lot of the woodwork (particularly on the playground) is showing its age. Still strongly recommend for any family looking for a perfect picnic spot.

Mark Dewey

Great place to ride bikes.

Trent Johnson

We love Carrier park! Great location down on the river with tons of space to run, dog walk, or play a pick up game of Lougee ball. Amenities include Lawn bowling, softball field and even a recently refurbished velodrome along with several open fields. There are bathroom facilities as well. Look for the jungle gym, dual sand volleyball courts and roller rink inside the velodrome.

Colin Williams

Hosted an event here last fall, great park with a pavilion big enough for about 15 people socially distanced. Beware of the incredible amount of stink bugs in the fall months, though.

Elizabeth Robertson

Great park! Nice and safe. Always plenty of activity. I love the greenways and bike or run them almost daily. I like that this park connects to the French Broad River park and the Hominy Creek park. It will be exciting to see this greenway system grow in Asheville. The park has sprawling green lawns, great for lounging in the sun or having picnics. If you don't like the sun, there is also a huge gazebo with outdoor grills where I often see people having gatherings. Parking is pretty ample, at least in the evenings. I definitely think this is the best park in the Asheville area.

Kelly Mayer

Feels like an adult playground! We love roller blading around the track. Decent lighting as the sun goes down.

Melissa S.

Nice park with lots to do.

Dwight Betfort

Great place for small children teens bicycles walking basketball roller hockey!!! Historic nascar track was paved over here. Original oval is now the bike track!!!! NASCAR history!!

Alison Leighton

Love Carrier Park, especially the velodrome and rink to skate in.

Gary Davis

Great place to get in some bike training when you want to maintain a steady effort! Cons: track can be busy at peak times during the weekend.

Amy Polansky

A wonderful park that was converted from a stock car track many years ago. Everything youd want to do is inside this park, and the track is something amazing I've never seen before. I wish we had these in florida but props to Asheville for making this park free and worth it to visit with kids, family, or friends

Michael Laney

Not a bad park for a quick stop from a long road trip. Needs more direction on how to get to the actual park, we had to jump a fence with a stroller and cross a racetrack to get in. Note, the entrance is over the big deck bridge as this was not clear to someone that had never been there.

Eli Bentor

Nice park on the banks of the Broad River. It is part of a long French Broad River Greenway. The park has a number of trails mostly shaded by beautiful trees. At the center is a large complex of sport and play section.

Chantal W.

This is such a cool, wooden castle park. It's huge and filled with great details. Kids of all ages will love spending time here.

Ceiara Cartony

Still leading Yoga in the Park classes after 4 yrs, er love the serene space this park has to offer! Join us out there every Saturday & Sunday ☺️ ceceyogini.com

Alexzandreia Kline

Had my car broken into in broad daylight years ago. Finally decided to come back to the playground with my kid and love it although I'm not sure why they can't have a better way to access the play area besides the 30 minute journey across the pointless ramp walkway thing.

Andrea Russell

Love this park, so nice to be outside to enjoy so much you can do with your family or go for a hike or just jog or bicycle ride, just great to have near us in our area!

Andrew McCool

Very fun place! Great for running, walking, biking, foraging, meditating, hammocking, slacklining, frisbee, and going on on dates. Beautiful location with lots of space.

Star B.

I came and skated here starting a few weeks ago and I love the park and there is a pretty good parking situation. Cool place to exercise or have a picnic at ^~^💖 …

Jeff Kimble

A smaller part of a large cluster of parks, this is a must-see. Has everything from walking trails to speed tracks and volleyball courts. A highlight of the Asheville park system.

Jerry Stevens

Very nice place to take the family.

Royanna Williams

This particular visit different from past visits because of CoVid but it was still a good place for walking, chatting with your friends and family, people watching, and tubing. Be prepared for the hot weather and no shade though, except for the rentable eating area.

Imago Dei

Good place to walk, playground, basketball,hockey, bike race track. Really as far as parks go it's the bee's knees.

Stephen Henry

Great park for multiple types of family play. Greenway walk was very nice.

Adam Kissel

Perfect place for running, playing, relaxing, meditating, larping... You name it. Beautiful trails along the French Broad River, with miles of contiguous greenway and sidewalk connecting this park to two other parks on either side. One of my favorite free places in Asheville.

Hop Dig

Great place to explore by the river also its in the middle of 3 dif parks all connected by the Greenway, a paved pathway great for walking our dogs

Gary

Nice location but the park a bit dirty. Could use sime sod in places and a bit more landscaping. It was a bit crowded when I was there late afternoon and not everyone was practicing social distancing and wearing of masks.

Steve

Good place to walk the dog, although a bit crowded. Only place in town that has a lawn bowling green.

Debby Burchfield

Diverse park offers something for almost everyone...Walking, running trails, playground, hockey field, baseball field, bocce lawn, pavilion for picnics, and public restrooms & parking. Operated by Asheville Park's and Recreation. Make sure vehicles are locked & secure to deter possible thefts.

Olivia S. Lynch

Nice park! There is a playground, basketball court, bike/roller skate/skateboard/running tract. Also picnic tables and a little green space.

Danny Hunter

The ice rink is looks brand new. The play area for children looks very nice and new but the walking area around has a slight slant to it hard to walk on. Looks like a pretty nice and safe place though.

Javan M DeLoach

This is a very nice park for family activities. Playground, roller hockey rink, basketball court, velodrome, soccer field, restrooms, and a walking/biking trail along the French Broad River.

Jessie Goodwin

Such a great park! Lots activities available and enough space for every one to enjoy and stay distanced.

Ross Webb

Really cool Park. Never quite seen anything like it. Plenty of parking and had something for everyone. Good use of government money for sure which is rare

Great place to meet up for a walk, ride, or sprints on the track. Many activities in a small area. Sand volleyball court as well.

Jose Santiago (Jose G Santiago)

Very nice park, have absolute everything to have a fun days with the kids all ages.

Amanda Shaw

A wonderful place to walk, jog, or play. The city of Asheville does a good job of cleaning up after flooding. The only downside is they need to replace some of the signs that show the wildlife that live there.

Anouska Mayer

Great place for roller skating

Jason Watkins

Love this place all kinds of things to do. They have a big park for kids, bike track, access to the river, baseball field, volleyball court, bocce ball. My family loves it.

Tha Monito

Great place to ride your bike, play basketball, and Rollerblade. As of August 23rd, they took out the swings from the playground. If it wasn't for that, I would give it 5 stars.

Harbin Redrick

I visited the other day for the first time in a long time and was so happy to see everybody outside enjoying the spring weather.

J Gant

Love walking the dog here, part of what adds up to like a four‐ish mile walk along the French Broad River from where Patton Ave Bridge crosses over down to Hominy Creek Rd (near the transfer station).

Daniel Greenfield

Not perfect but it is a work in progress. Walk or ride bike from Hominy Creek greenway through Carrier to the French Broad River Park. This is a great place for dogs. This is home.

Nick

Great park to take a break from window shopping with the family in Asheville. The playground was great and there were a lot of people riding bikes, playing basketball and just enjoying the afternoon.

Michelle Anderson

Topnotch park! It has a raceway for bike riding, and rollerblading. They even have a small hockey rink for rollerblading. I'm not sure if when it snows the rink floor turns into ice as it melts

Nice park, great for kids of all ages. Biking, walking and playgrounds. The river and the picnic areas are all very nice.

Good place to ride a bike or go for a jog. However, it's a very busy park. If you go later in the evening it gets a bit sketchy. Go earlier in the day.

If it's crowded, parking can be difficult, but the walks and trails are worth the hassle. Plus, they have a skate park and lawn bowling.

Tamara O'Conner

Great Kids playground. And fun track to ride bikes, Rollerblade, and scooters. Kid friendly track as well

Ben Moore

Nice little park with a small hiking area by the river. They also have a, biking track, basketball courts and some picnic areas.

Daniel Fairchild

Plenty of room to run. There's even a bicycle track. I think my only complaint would be some areas in the evening are not shaded on the walkways.

Olen Sisk

Even after a storm, the care takers cleaned the trail so we could continue our enjoyment.

I love this park. I ride along it or through it all the time. If your wanting to get the true feel of Asheville this is the place to go! It is awesome!!!
