Downtown Cary Park brings a surprisingly wide range of outdoor experiences into seven acres at 327 S. Academy Street. The park opened in November 2023 and combines places to play, relax and gather in the middle of downtown.

For a first visit, use the park’s official map to choose a few stops. The Skywalk, The Nest play area, Great Lawn and Pavilion, gardens and Park Street Courts are among the named spaces on the map. Families can also check the splash pad and sprayground information before planning around water play.
