Still in its formative years, the Holly Springs parks and recreation department offers a wide variety of programs at its town parks by providing many opportunities for families to exercise and play together. The 46-acre Parrish Womble Park offers baseball and soccer fields, playground equipment, a small fishing pond, a picnic shelter, an amphitheater, a paved walking trail, and areas for horseshoes and volleyball.
In addition, the ninety-acre Bass Lake Park which opened in 2004 offers a fisherman’s delight with a stocked lake with an assortment of fish. If you’re not prepared to go fishing, there are rental opportunities for fishing gear, canoes and small boats. A 1.25-mile mulch trail along the lake shore features scenic overlooks. The park also offers a retreat center for meetings and special events. Park-sponsored outings such as owl prowls, single-mingle canoe paddles and family moonlight canoe trips attract locals regularly.
