I used to go to the races here a lot as a kid. Now it's been turned into a very nice family park. They have incorporated the track into the park, allowing use for biking and walking. Also, a small area dedicated to the history of the speedway, which I found very nostalgic. Lots of things for the kids to do, along with lots of walking areas along the river. definitely a nice place for the entire family.

Also great, fairly level, easy bike and walking trails next to the river and close to the Art District of Asheville. Lots of picnic opportunities.

My son participated in his first 5k here. There was plenty of space for runners participating and those that came for their morning exercise. There's a smaller track that takes about 12 laps for a 3 miles jog/walk, and a larger track that encompasses the entire park. This park contains a space for skating, biking and other wheeled activities and a nice size playground where minting social distance is possible. I believe this space even connects to the River Arts trails. So glad this space exists for family events and more!

Carrier Park is clean, safe, and has a wonderful assortment of areas to enjoy that include baseball/softball fields, sand volleyball courts, a bike track, a hockey rink, basketball courts and more. Clean bathroom facilities, a huge walking trail... I love playing Asheville Roller Hockey there!

You could swim/float down the French broad River from here,but as a local my family and I do not because it's quite polluted!

What's a velodrome?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velodrome A velodrome is an arena for track cycling. Modern velodromes feature steeply banked oval tracks, consisting of two 180-degree circular bends connected by two straights. The straights transition to the circular turn through a moderate easement curve.
