Carrier Park has a playground, a vellodrome (for bikes!), and has easy access to the French Broad Greenway. It's great for biking, walking and playing. We always visit Homegrown across the street for an easy lunch after playing outside.

Another great playground with access to a greenway and Richland Creek. Our kids (age 1, 4 and 6) love the rock wall and zip line. But, there's a huge wooden structure that can keep the little occupied as well.

Lake Junaluska is a quick drive (10 minutes) from the house. You can take a leisurely walk around the lake. It's man-made, but still pretty. We always stop at the playground afterwards.

Zoos, Museums, Science Centers

A small wildlife and nature center less than 30 minutes from the house. It has some cool exhibits and offers reciprocity for folks who have memberships with other science center (MLS in Durham), which makes it free. When we need somewhere to walk around that is a bit more engaging then our regular hikes, we go here.

The Biltmore Estate is the largest home in America, spanning 175,000 square feet or four acres of floor space. This French Renaissance château dominates in size yet does not compromise a single detail. The Biltmore Estate is a beautiful blend of excessive luxury, homely comforts, innovative technology before its time, and character greater than many competing mansions of its time. The extravagant gardens are overwhelming, and the house itself is a wonder of architecture.

The French Broad River Greenway links three of Asheville's parks: Hominy Creek River Park, Carrier Park, and French Broad River Park. The trail follows the river, coursing through a wooded strip of land, through the parks and among some residential and light commercial sites. Starting at the southern end in Hominy Creek River Park, you'll enjoy river access and picnic areas. From there, the trail heads north and then east along the river through Carrier Park, where you'll find many athletic facilities, a playground, picnic pavilion, river overlooks, boat landing and a wetland interpretive and education area. The continues along Amboy Road to French Broad River Park, which offers lots of open green space, a wildflower garden, a dog park, picnic areas, an observation deck and a playground. You'll continue north from the park to trail's end at Craven Street, just south of I-240.
