Fletcher Community Park

Size: 60 acres on Howard Gap Road at Cane Creek.
Amenities: 3½ miles of walking trails, picnic areas, three youth soccer fields, four youth baseball fields, arboretum gardens, fishing in Cane Creek and Hoopers Creek, disc golf.
New additions in 2013: Morris Broadband Dog Park and Park Ridge Health EnergiPrime fitness circuit exercise pad will open in April.
Quote: "Nobody has their own green space," says parks Director Greg Walker. "Homes are all in developments or condominiums, or property owners don't have a lot open space. People want to be out and have green space to walk and exercise. No. 2, a park brings kind of a community of shared-mind users, so there's that social aspect. People meet and develop friendships."
