soccer fields, a 2-mile bike trail, 1.5-mile nature trail, 5K
championship cross country course (McAlpine Creek Greenway connects
to James Boyce Park) Lake, bike/walking trail, sports fields accent this park. On Saturdays, you can often find team sports going on here, or go across the wheelchair accessible bridge to come over to the lake side. Here you will find hiking and bike trails, a walking trail around the lake, or choose to get on the 7-mile McAlpine Greenway bike trail. The McAlpine Greenway bike trail starts behind Heritage Woods with multiple access points, travels behind Sardis by the Park and Sardis Woods, under Monroe Road, through McAlpine Park, under Independence Blvd., behind Best Buy, across Margaret Wallace Rd, over to and along Harris Blvd up nearly to Idlewild Rd. If just enjoy sitting around with a fishing pole in your hand, you can do that here for a $1 for a day pass you can catch up to the creel limit of 6 catfish. Of course season passes are also available and good anywhere in North Carolina. If you are lucky, you'll run into our little friend here to the right. Or around the lake, you will always find geese or ducks to feed Don't leave your big friends at home either, as there are plenty of dog walking going on here. But do keep them on a leash... at least until you register and enter McAlpine's new poochy park. The new facility is an estimated 2-3 acres of semi-cleared land, behind fence and double-gates where you can release ol' Scruffy to run like the racehorse he thinks he is. This is a dogs and owners only part of the park though there are outside benches for observers. To get a free poochy pass, Scruffy has to have a valid rabies and license tag.
