"Learn the game. Live the experience."
The Buncombe County Sports Park, located at Enka-Candler, North Carolina, is a beautiful park surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. It consists of seven soccer fields, a walking trail, picnic areas (covered and uncovered), sand-beach volleyball court, playground, concession area and restrooms.
The Buncombe County Sports Park is dedicated to developing programs that encourage teamwork, positive attitudes, and building a strong future for sports in our communities.
The Park has been created by the generous donations of time, materials, and money of many sponsors and Buncombe County Commissioners.
Community Impact:
- Sponsorship opportunities open to local businesses are available throughout the Park. These sponsorships help build, maintain, and allow for future development of the Park as well as help the growth of local businesses.
- Hosting future tournaments will also bring families and tourists into the area for extended weekends, thus bringing more revenue to the area.
Walking Trail
The walking trail at the Buncombe County Sports Park is made of recycled asphalt. It is ideal for walking or running but is not suitable for baby carriages.
