The Village of Blowing Rock has no shortage of activities for folks of all ages — especially on a sunny day! Beyond the countless scheduled events and festivities throughout the year, public spaces and local art galleries are great options to take in the town and buy a souvenir or two (or three)!

Memorial Park

Many small towns across the country have a central park, but none have anything quite as special as Blowing Rock’s Memorial Park.

With paved paths, courts for a variety of sports, horseshoe pits and two adventure-filled playgrounds, there is no shortage of opportunities for exercise for kids and kids-at-heart. Whether you’re looking to play tennis or pickleball, go for an evening run or find a bench to enjoy ice cream cone or need a place to tucker out the children before heading back to the hotel, Memorial Park is the place to be in downtown Blowing Rock.

The Rotary Gazebo, expanded a few years ago, serves as the perfect venue for summer concerts and community events. The shady spot is also a great spot to read a book, catch up with friends or people-watch.
