About the Location

A Step Back in Time

Positioned in Greensboro sits Fisher Park, a 12-acre green haven established in the early 1900s. Walking through this pre-Victorian treasure feels a bit like time travel - a gentle stream meanders through wooded areas, creating a natural retreat from city life.

Nature's Canvas

The landscape here offers a beautiful contrast - mature trees provide cooling shade in some sections, while open sunny meadows invite you to spread out a blanket and soak up some vitamin D. If you're looking to stretch your legs, 1.2 miles of natural walking trails wind their way through the park, following the stream's natural path.

The gravel paths make for a pleasant stroll through the park's natural surroundings. On hot summer days, the dense tree canopy offers welcome relief from the heat. Just remember to wear shoes with decent traction - the natural terrain can get a bit slippery in spots, especially after rain.

Something for Everyone

Fisher Park thoughtfully accommodates different preferences in its layout. The western section maintains curvy, shaded woodland paths ideal for those seeking tranquility, while the northern area opens up into a sunny meadow where locals bring their dogs, toss frisbees, and enjoy picnics.

Families appreciate the playground area situated near one of the parking spots, providing a designated space for little ones to burn off energy. Throughout your walk, you'll come across picnic tables and benches placed at just the right intervals - ideal for catching your breath or enjoying a sandwich.

Discover the Details

Don't miss the unique Stonebridge, an interesting stone chair formation that makes for a wonderful photo opportunity during your visit. The park also features lovingly maintained flower beds that enhance its historic character and add splashes of seasonal color throughout the grounds.

A Neighborhood Haven

This green space is well integrated into the neighborhood. It's where paths cross, conversations happen, and a moment of peace can be found away from city noise. The surrounding area features beautiful homes in a welcoming community that contributes to the park's safe, charming atmosphere.

Fisher Park offers space for both active recreation and quiet contemplation, and is suitable for people of all ages. Dog owners particularly appreciate the combination of shady walking paths and open areas for their furry friends to explore.

Getting There

You can find street parking available along the park's perimeter, but spaces can disappear quickly on weekends and during busy hours. For more convenient access, there's a dedicated parking lot near the entrance that puts you right by the park's amenities.
