Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
This state-of-the-art recreational facility in North Carolina has a surprising variety of entertainment options. Inside the 64,000-square-foot Waynesville Recreation Center folks will find what they might expect, including a weight room, basketball courts, a swimming pool, a walking track, and other exercise rooms and event spaces. But what makes us smile the widest is the outside of the facility has just as many outdoor activities as indoor. When I visit my momma she loves bringing me here with her sweet dog, Bella. And boy does Bella know when we’re headed this way! Let’s take a look outside this impressive recreation center in North Carolina.
Waynesville Recreation Center officially opened on Dec. 18, 2000.
Even though I'm an older girl - and have it memorized by now - I still like to participate in the engaging story walk divided up into learning stations, complete with adorable children's illustrations.
Walking the path involves the crossing of two interesting bridges.
On this beautiful day, a bunch of people who arrived by bus were competing in a race. I have also seen classes on how to cast a fishing line taught here.
The walk continues across the street and across another bridge where we find a dog park, more of the stream for fishing, and a private meditating garden.
The true entertainment, however, is at the skateboard park where I am always inspired by the mad skills. People are usually lying around on blankets watching or from the stadium seats.
Bella knows her way here for sure as it is the best place to find a date or make a new friend.
Next time we're packing a picnic, playing disc golf, and fishing. I know that's a lofty dream, but goals are important when trying to fit all of these activities in!
Isn’t this state-of-the-art recreational facility in North Carolina sensational? You could spend an entire day here! Discover more on the Waynesville Recreation Center web page.
One of these disc golf pocket guides might come in handy. And while you’re in the cool town of Waynesville, reserve a room at the historic Yellow House bed and breakfast.
