Lowry Park is located along the Hillsborough River across from the Lowry Park Zoo. It is a beautiful park featuring oak woodland hammocks and river views. There is a .9 mile paved trail for joggers, walkers, and bikers the meanders along the river's edge. Conveniently located along the path are shaded picnic areas and benches for resting, conversation, or quiet contemplation. There is also a good sized and well-maintained playground for the kids. If you want to get out on the river, there is a canoe and boat launch. Fishermen will enjoy the short pier. Picnic areas with grills are also available.
