Hickory City Park

always very clean and has pretty scenery. as a woman, I feel safe walking through the park alone. there's always good parking too. there's also a good amount of benches too.

This park or trailhead, surprised us. My family wanted some fresh air and a place we wouldn't have to wear masks at. What we found was a completely paved main walking path, with hiking trails to go in along the way. We aren't from Hickory but I'm proud of the city and the money they are putting in this park. Building ramps in multiple sections in this to what I believe is to get closer to the lake. We can't wait to come back again when it's all finshed. Keep in mind that there are two great entrances to this area, you have Hickory Park and Geitner Park, one on each end. Oh and there is mountain biking trails too!!!😃

Thanks everyone

Rode the bike trails.
A lot is packed in 6 miles.
Excellent downhills with gentle climbs.
Enough rock gardens and roots to keep you on your toes. But nothing too technical.
Took my black lab Samantha and she had a blast too.

Great place to walk your dog (or just to relax). Trash receptacles are available, it connects to the new City River Walk and has plenty of parking.

The mountain bike trails here are awesome! The loops are long enough that you can ride for a while and then you can combine different trails easily to get more or less mileage. It also has some really fun downhill stuff and the pump track is great. I ride here at least once a week. There is also a paved trail through the middle which is great if you don't want to ride the single track trails.

Wonderful trails!!

Great place to get the greenway bike trail lots of safety features 🥇 everybody's so darn friendly I love this feeling 🏞🌻💯🙏☘🥇🤠🐓❤‍🔥🐥🥰😍

I take my dog for walks on the main trail and it's perfect for that. I think it's really cool that there are more advanced trails for those who want to do real hiking or cycling as well. Just make sure you bring water in the summer as it gets hot (even in the shade)

Great park. Walked 5k with our dog. So many trails.

The tennis courts are great but the hours are too short. They need to leave the gate open longer for the people that have jobs.

The trails are really nice, though; surprisingly nice actually. A good majority of it is shaded so the sun does not beat down on you the whole time. Just be prepared with but spray.

I will say that the railing in the newly paved river walk is something you would not expect on a public, high traffic area. Your backyard patio, sure. The inconsistency and variation of post types makes it look super cheap and poorly thought out. Not sure who won the bid for that contract but back to the drawing board Hickory. Hopefully it's not the company that was responsible for the useless arches downtown.

I am really proud of how well these courts are kept. To have a bike trail, tennis, pickleball and more available to us is a blessing. Remember to help pick up at least 1 item of garbage you find on the ground and toss it out for those less considerate.

I’ve been to Lake Hickory several times this year. Great place to ride. The jump line has been re worked. Also they are doing some work to the main loop. Can’t wait till that’s finished. Springs loop is also a very beginner friendly trail and also a great place for experienced riders to get better. Definitely a must visit.

Great tennis facility.

I rode one of the dirt bike trails, the easier one, and loved it. The trail is well taken care of. I also rode on the paved trail. It's beautiful.

Solid mountain bike trails that are very well maintained and the signs are easy to follow. Highly recommend. Not your normal trails for a local park in Hickory or any town for that matter.

Great bike trail system - has technical places but they're short and sweet. Lots of flow, two fun jump lines (can easily be rolled). Nice old school single track with some machine cut clean mileage as well.
Hickory has beer options :) for post ride.

This is one of my most favorite walking trails!

This is where greenway trails are, Rotary Geitner park as well, tennis courts, great beginners mtb loop, Spring Loop. It’s isn’t too much incline and really flows. This is our favorite. The kids love the pump track too. People are nice here, and we met 3 other families with multiple kids, so it’s a nice family place for biking or walk. Are other trails for mtb jump line, and intermediated.

New single track mountain bike trails
Are Excellent use of park land. Well planned and professionally made with local private funds, these are now some of the best trails in Western North Carolina.

Enjoyed the trails, we did the paved walking trail. Their is also riding trails that are thru out the wooded areas with hills. Beautiful area with Lake Hickory.
