Take a step out of your daily routine and into the great outdoors. Bear Branch Park is great for a day trip with the family or a picnic with your friends. The park comes complete with activity areas and covered pavilions, which means you can work up a sweat in the sun playing basketball, volleyball, or tennis, then lounge under the roof of a gazebo with a cool drink.

Wheelchair-accessible with plenty of restrooms available, Bear Branch Park is perfect for everyone. Kids will love the swimming pool and play areas complete with swing-sets and slides. Those looking for exercise will enjoy the track surrounding the soccer field, while those looking for a more relaxed activity can head to the disc golf course.
