Just north of downtown, Lake Fayetteville offers a serene escape for nature enthusiasts, families and those who like to fish. The 450 acres includes multiple parks, a marina and fishing pier, playgrounds and much more. A softball complex includes a playground, three softball fields, a concession building and picnic area with grills. The North Shore Park has a spacious green space and an 18-hole disc golf course, swings, picnic area and pavilion. On the other side of the lake is Veterans Memorial Park, a 40-acre park with two playgrounds, volleyball courts, a fishing pier and horseshoe pits. The lake also has 5 miles of walking trails that connect the different areas of the park and a 4-mile hard surface trail—perfect for biking or rollerblading—that will soon circle the entire lake.
