Fred G. Bond Metro Park

801 High House Road, Cary, NC 27513 is the main park address. Use 197 Bond Park Drive for the boathouse and waterfront; choose the exact entrance for the community center, senior center, fields, shelters, or challenge course.

Use 801 High House Road for the general park or the destination-specific address. Boathouse parking serves the lake and greenway hub, but event notices can reserve lots and Sertoma guests should not use boathouse spaces except for accessible parking.

Park gates open by 7:30 a.m. and close at sunset. The boathouse, community center, senior center, challenge course, amphitheater, programs, and rentals use separate seasonal schedules.

General park, playground, trails, family picnic areas, and ordinary lakefront access are free. Boat rentals, programs, challenge course, events, shelters, and reserved facilities may charge.

Restrooms are available near the boathouse, Kiwanis shelter, community center, playground, and developed facilities. They are not continuous around every trail or lake section.

Developed parking, community facilities, waterfront deck, boathouse area, playground, shelters, amphitheater approach, and paved trails offer accessible choices, while natural routes and individual activities vary.

Bond Park is a major hub for the paved Black Creek and White Oak Creek greenways, Bond Lake Trail, Pine Cone Trail, Paw Paw Trail, Tree ID Trail, and orienteering routes. Surfaces and grades differ outside the main greenways.

Families can combine Lazy Daze Playground, lakefront picnics, trails, seasonal paddling, fields, nature learning, events, and short walks without needing to use every part of the large park.

Keep dogs leashed and controlled in ordinary park and greenway areas. Dogs are not permitted in boats or restricted play, food, program, and facility areas unless posted otherwise.

Waterfront and deck tables are walk-up spaces for groups of ten or fewer and cannot be reserved for gatherings. Reserve Kiwanis, Buehler, or another designated shelter for an organized group.

Key destinations include Bond Lake and Boathouse, Lazy Daze Playground, Sertoma Amphitheatre, Kiwanis and Buehler shelters, Challenge Course, Community Center, Senior Center, fields, and Black Creek-White Oak greenway hub.

Gate hours, dam work, weather, lake conditions, boat season, events, construction, and reservations can affect separate park areas. Check the exact facility rather than assuming the entire 310-acre park shares one status.
