Carrier Park's long history includes being the former site of the Asheville Motor Speedway. It's now the site of a popular cycling race trek nicknamed the MellowDrome. Running along Amboy Road between West Asheville and the Swannanoa River, patrons will find areas for walking, as well as all sorts of sports from baseball to soccer, to basketball and volleyball. Additionally, there is a roller hockey rink, lawn bowling, and a popular playground. “Carrier Park is our highest use park with many different activities going on,” says Roderick Simmons, director of the Asheville Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Department. “We have the Velodrome which is a bike course inside the park. We also have a dog park, and french quad that is connected on the southern end of Carrier Park. It's a heavily used area, citizens enjoy it. They come out and bike it and it also gives you river access which citizens love.” “I like coming to Carrier Park because it's large enough for the dogs and there's a large enough area for me to run or to exercise. And it's just comfortable here,” says Julia, a parkgoer. “It's easy, really it's just an easy place to get a little bit of nature, to be near the river,” say Jackie and Sema, parkgoers. “There's always beautiful, diverse things happening so it's very entertaining and it's long. Like, you can bike or run for a long time. That's one of the reasons I love this park.” “As the city moves forward with redeveloping, one of the last areas in the city that has not been redeveloped is down on the river—what we call the River Artist District,” says Simmons. “Part of the planning process for the city, city envisioning having a network of parks, the green spaces, commercial and residential units to bring the quality of life up in Asheville. Amboy Road Park, Carrier Park, and French Broad Park are connected by a greenway system that gives you about a mile-and-a-half greenway connectivity. Once it's all finished, we'll be able to do about a three-mile loop around that area to give citizens the ability to walk, bike, and travel safely as they go through the community.” Be sure to check out part three of our Asheville City Park series on the Montford Park Players. -LEARN MORE ABOUT ASHEVILLE PARKS- Asheville Community Information https://www.beverly-hanks.com/communi...
