KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

  • Indoor restrooms and a water fountain will be available in the Academy Pavilion.
  • The Park has two food and beverage facilities. The Bark Bar will serve beer and wine as well as non-alcoholic beverages and light snacks. Market 317, located in Academy Pavilion, is an elevated grab and go style café that will offer delicious wraps, sandwiches, charcuterie boards and more.
  • Guests can bring their own food into the Park, but outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted.

LOCATION/DIRECTIONS:

  • Our Cookie Decorating Class will be held in the Academy Pavilion within Downtown Cary Park, along S. Academy St. Upon entering the Park, follow posted park directional signs that lead to the Academy Pavilion and Plaza.
  • The closest Park entrance to the Academy Pavilion is from S. Academy St.

FUTURE PROGRAMS:

Cary (including Downtown Cary Park) has a new recreation registration system for programs and classes — RecTrac. This easy-to-use system will allow citizens and visitors to sign up for classes and other programming. Cary citizens and visitors must create an account to be ready to register for programs, so we encourage you to let your friends and families know about this new system. After February 29, 2024, all Downtown Cary Park programs and events will be hosted on RecTrac and not on Eventbrite. Registration for each Park program will be released two weeks prior to the event date. Stay up to date on all Downtown Cary Park programs and events by visiting our website.

PARKING:

  • There is an accessible parking deck located behind the Cary Regional Library (113 Walnut St, Cary, NC 27511). Additionally, parking is available in the parking lot on Charlie Gaddy Lane (Old Library Site), at designated street parking throughout Downtown, and at the Town Hall Parking Deck (121 Wilkinson Ave, Cary, NC 27513).
  • A rideshare drop-off location for the Park is available on S. Walker St. near The Walker Apartment building.
  • Make the most of the free GoCary bus service to easily access the Park. All eight GoCary bus routes conveniently connect at the Cary Depot, which is less than half a mile from the Park. If you prefer not to walk, simply board either bus Route 5 – Kildaire Farm or Route 6 – Buck Jones at the Cary Depot and hop off at the S Academy St at Downtown Cary Park bus stop, right in front of the park entrance.
