Fred G. Bond Metro Park

The Town of Cary Fred G. Bond Metro Park, at 310 acres, is one of the largest municipal parks in Wake County. Like an oasis in the midst of the city, the park design preserves the environment and offers opportunities for many types of recreation.

All facilities are integrated into the natural setting. Visitors may enjoy picnics, play ball on the athletic fields, see a performance in the amphitheater, walk along the trails, or play on the Lazy Daze Playground. Bond Park also offers orienteering as well as challenge courses. The Bond Park Community Center is within the park boundaries.

Boathouse:
The Boathouse has boat rentals for all ages and abilities, including pedal boats, kayaks, and canoes. We supply all life preservers as part of the boat rental. No experience is necessary for most rentals (except sailboats).

We also have a wide range of classes available, including sailing, kayak, and canoe lessons for all age groups. Find bait, snacks, ice cream, snow cones, drinks, and more—all for sale at the beautiful Bond Park Boathouse nestled among the pines on the waterfront of Bond Lake.

Shelters:
Kiwanis and Buehler Shelter are Available for Reservation.
Bond Park Waterfront, screened porch, and deck has individual picnic tables, with and without grills, scattered throughout the area. These are intended for individual walk-up use.

Orienteering:
Bond Park offers a basic orienteering course of the point-to-point variety, with a start, a series of controls to be visited, and designated finish. Use the Bond basic map with control points or the master map with the master control markers to create your own course.

Challenge Course:
An outdoor learning facility, the Bond Park Challenge Course encourages individuals and groups to see their potential through a graduated progression of challenge activities that foster personal growth and improved teamwork. When not in use for a Challenge Course program, the Challenge Course Shelter is available on a first come, first served basis.
