Nature and Parks in Asheville

"Known as Asheville’s “front yard,” Pack Square Park serves as a multi-use space against the Art Deco city hall. The park’s stage serves as a central point for hosting musicians, open-air theater performances, city events, festivals, and other free occurrences. Check the calendar and don’t miss favorite opportunities like Asheville Art in the Park, Asheville VeganFest, and the Asheville Half Marathon." - MATADOR_NETWORK

Super nice place benches in shade. Bathrooms close bye, with water fountain. Restaurants close bye. I sat in the shade on one of the benches and was reading a book. I saw a lot of family's there playing and having a great time. Thank you Asheville for having that.

Pack Square Park was named in 1903 after the land was donated by philanthropist George Pack in 1901. It's had a long history. The modern park now hosts restrooms, a splash pad, and stage located in front of the City Hall and County Courthouse. The park continues on to the former location of the Vance Monument which the city removed but oddly left the base of it remain. They really should think things through and finish a project in such a central location. The stage portion of the park is often used for events, concerts, and etc. The park is a great area in which to relax when downtown. There is street parking and a city parking garage nearby. Many restaurants border or are in close walking distance from the park.

I visited during Boomtown FestAVL and what a great way to experience Pack Square Park! There were numerous vendors, food trucks and music. So many talented artists there, I definitely didn't get to see everything. Tons of people watching and just a really great energy to be surrounded with! It was incredible to get to hear the Asheville Symphony play while enjoying the beautiful park! Ten STARS! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really close to the Asheville Art Museum!

Movie night in the park was wonderful. Great music before the movie. A food truck and snack vendor as well as a beverage cart!Hula hoops and jump ropes for the kids were provided for use. Paid parking across the street. Easy in and out. Great evening.

Came to a festival here at this park. First time visiting. It’s a nice park with a lil amphitheater with concrete benches but enough space to bring your own chairs or blankets. They do have a restroom facility but I admit they needed some TLC while I was there. Plenty of garages nearby for parking, I parked in the buncombe county garage and it was just a short walk up and total was $6 on a Saturday.
