Garner Destination parks ... hidden gems you must see!

I call these two garner parks "hidden gems" because if you don't live in Garner you just might miss them. :-)

 

Lake Benson:

For walking, running, picnics or just some fun on the playground, this park is a definite must visit. Its trails wind beside the lake, through the woods and around a huge field giving great opportunity to get in some exercise in a safe environment. Playground and picnic tables make it a wonderful place for a picnic as a family or with friends.






White Deer Park:

This little gem tucked away in Garner is absolutely a must visit!  Walking tails, picnic shelters and a nature center make this park worth the trip alone, but the playgrounds are truly something to behold. One playground made only of natural resources provide shaded fun not to be missed! Right next door, or down the walking trail, is a playground that must be dedicated to spinning and centripetal force. The swings and spinning features will keep your kids dizzy with head spinning pleasure.
