Nice secluded park for short distance, no elevation walking or running. The trail portion is actually located past the furthest parking lot from the entrance (not where it is showing on the map) and is gravel-based for most of the way except the very back part. It is a bit difficult to see the river from the trail if there is any foliage, but there is one portion that has an open view near the beginning. Theres also sports facilities that look to be open to the public as well. Believe there are also trails that go off the main one into more wooded areas, but did not venture on to those as it was muddy from previous rain.

Beautiful! A hidden gem....please be aware you have options to excercise on a track. If you choose to hike there is a clear sign that explains hiking after 10 am since there is an active hunting season at the moment in the area! For safety reasons it is recommended to wear bright colored clothes

Its pretty hard to find behind a water treatment facility. The road is not very well taken care of. There are plenty of fields for baseball and soccer, but most of them do not drain well and dont appear to be very well taken care of with grass being overgrown in several spots. Parking is tough to find and sometimes Ive had to walk a stroller and a 3 year old through mud to get to the field. Considering that Forsyth is about 30 minutes away with MUCH better parks, Id avoid this one.

We had a great timehiking the trails. I missed the description of the different paths that are color coded so I need to look into that. No dogs allowed in that area unfortunately, but I can appreciate it still. Beautiful river views and semi accessible areas to the river from the trails.

Hoping to be able to get some work done to improve the playability of the handball courts

Nice, relaxing hike. Beautiful waterfall. I wish we could have brought our pups though!

Nice gravel course to run/walk, would definitely recommend that! It does get pretty busy in the afternoons when the school is having a track meet. Tennis courts are nice. Basketball court is terrible, loose hoops and the court is cracked with grass growing in it.

Hard to find the best place to hike. Not my favorite spot but still very pretty.

I went here alot as a kid. It was always clean and well taken care of.

Nice park, awesome hiking trails, good river access for fishing.

Historical significants, Bowling Park, and where Cherokee Highschool sits, was home to the Red Bank nation of the Cherokee Indians... lot of history with the grounds, trails, tree and rock carvings....

Watching my granddaughter run cross country race. Parking could be better.

I LOVE the simplicity of the trail. Why I gave Two stars is for the no dog policy.The people who can be responsible & pick up after them (or what ever reason this is a thing) are suffering for not being able too being their pets.I wont come to this park (4 minutes from my house) because of this.The litter bugs around these trails are worse than dog poop in my opinion.Also what happened to the little playground? No fixing? Just tore it down. Cant say ill be back anytime soon sadly.Attention to the first boy Scout bridge. It has a broken out board leaving quite a large gap.Please be cautious and careful.

Multiple fields for rec uses. Good amount of parking!

Great walking trail. There is a bit of history, too. Look for the granite face with carvings from late 19th century.

The park has a few nice trails. Most of the grills are old and rusted. They need to be replaced.

The wastewater treatment plant on property makes the area unpleasant to enjoy as intended.

Sit back on the back and watch the river flow nice and relaxing

Great trail to walk or run. Family friendly, very clean. A great place to picnic or kick a ball around. Lots of open fields. The river is beautiful.

There are a lot of trail options that start out here..maybe I missed it but they should have a better sign in the front of the trails we almost gave up and missed out. Half way through we found another sign of all the trails. At the back of the parking lot is a wood trail with trees painted with two red lines. Take that one for a real wood hike that leads to river and creek access

Nice park. Free. Clean port-a-pots. Plenty of parking. Best to avoid periods when school is starting or getting out. Open fields or miles of wooded trails fairly well marked. Dogs not allowed.

Best trails around!

Love the park cause its filled with trees and wildlife, and also its a good place to jog when its hot summer!

Very peaceful place to have lunch

Cool park. Smells horrible

Nice one mile plus walking path behind Cherokee High School

Beautiful park, large green open field surrounded by woods and river, many walking and hiking trails.

The ball fields look run down and you have to drive past a waste treatment plant to get to the running area. If you can ignore those two points the wooded area along the river is really pretty.

The mushies grow big out here. ️

Beautiful trails and views of the river and streams.

Always a great place to walk, run, or hike and to keep your social distancing.

Decent park with trails and open spaces (plus sports fields). There was lots of trash around and in the creek, which was very sad.

So peacful

Good place for a picnic lunch

I love Boling park I love working out there I feel like when I get to workout over there I feel like I get a thorough workout. Unlike any other park that Ive that been too I dont feel like I get the workout like I do at Boling park. But however what I dont like is they are poorly organized when it comes to events because guys like me who just wants to workout cant because of events you dont know about until you get over there.

Its a good place for a good walk, jog, or run. The gravel track is one mile. The Etowah River is along side the track. At times you will see wild life just roaming around. Just watch from a distance. You can look at the river in a couple of spots. Dont get close to the edge. Also there is another trail if you want a nature hike. Parking is abundant except during late afternoon and early evening. Its because of track and little league football practices. Thats when parking will become scarce at times. Come around morning to mid afternoon.

Good trails at the end by the river

I found a dead rat under my car so thats pretty cool I guess. Tennis courts are pretty rad.

One of my favorite Parks. This place has a lot of running trails to offer. They also have plenty of events at the park. Theres a running trail that leads through the woods that makes running a little more palatable.

Clean park, nice walking/ running path.

Bathroom is a little far, but we had a good cookout. Had to bring our own grill but it was a good day

Was an awesome day at the 30th annual Mothers Day Pow Wow.

Went running here 10/10 reccomend

Hard to find the hiking trails from the parking lot.

Some nice running trails. I saw some fields for baseball, soccer, etc. on the way into the park. The kids area that I saw didnt have much of a playground. However, I came focused on the trails and was not disappointed.

Nice park with a few trails from the Etowah trail system. The areas by the river have good peaceful views.

Great place to run. Flat well maintained trails in beautiful setting.

Nice walk around feels relaxing

Nice bathroom too far

Little park with a 1.2 mile mostly gravel track. A very small hill and access to a wood behind. The river is also accessible for fishing from the park. There is a small exercise area by the loop and a fairly flat long field that could be used for playing games. I was there for a 12 hour run and it was perfect for that.

Have always enjoyed this park. The main trail is always very well maintained. Weather will always make the trails slick. Always my go to if I need to run.

Its a fine park, the only issue I see, which they likely wont resolve, is the creation of permanent restrooms near the trail as opposed the porta potties. Kind of gross. Also, if they do create them: dont be like Forsyth add at least 3 stalls to the mens room, 1 never cuts it.

Nice place for cross country running and for easy walks/hikes in the woods.

Great running routes start here!

Love this park and the walking trails!!!

Great course for cross country as it is also the home course for my team!

Playground equipment broken rotten boards. Swings broken with metal fragments poking out. Slide not bolted down. In major need of repairs or new equipment so our children may play safely!!!! Would give zero but makes you at least put one. Whats up with Cherokee County? This needs immediate attention before some child gets injured!!!!!

Ran a 12 hour race around this gravel loop.. Id say I know it pretty well. The trails in the woods are really nice as well

There is a beautiful, secret trail at the back, nice walk on the river. There are many out jutting rocks you can sit on, that can give you are closer look at the clear water. There is also a really cool bridge, that the Boy Scouts built. The trees in the second field, are perfect for hanging a hammock. :D

Always a nice set of trails to hike and explore.

Any luck for fishing......

Nice park! Great for running!

Great Park. Had a good time at the Mothers Day Powwow

Great food and fun. Clean too!

7/10th mile from entrance to parking lot makes a nice bike path. The walking trail is a mile. Clean area juct need a clean restroom.

Great place to walk. Safe.

This is one of my favorite parks to get a workout. There are great trails that at points, look out over the Etowa river. Just be sure to go when rec. sports are going on. It gets quite crowded.

Love the rodeo! Great fun

Nice little community park. Next to the river for lots of wildlife viewing.. Adjacent to the high school so theres a lot of traffic (why its 4 stara instead of 5..A great place to work out or go for a stroll.

Native American PowWowHighly recommend for all.

A beautuful park. It has a running/walkung trail that winds along the river. We has a picnic at a table that over looks the river. There is a small playground and swings for the little ones. There is also some simple exercise equipment at the front of the park.

No dogs boo

Love the running trails at Boling Park.

Been going to this park for 20+ years. Great gravel walking trail. No dogs or bicycles so its best for running/walking with no distractions.

Its a small park. Not really kept up great.

The restrooms are ALWAYS locked. The playground equipment isnt well-maintained at all. The speed bumps tear the undercarriage of my car up. It is ridiculous! I love the walking trail, but it isnt worth messing up my car to get to it. Do NOT attempt to go to this park if you have a lowered sports car.

Dont let the sewage treatment plant or super sized speed bumps deter you. Drive as far as you can and there are gravel walking paths to enjoy and if you want some woodsy hiking, go to the end and enter the woods through the opening in the bushes and make an immediate left. This trail follows the river for quite a long way. Side trails can be explored. Dont get lost but you can hike all the way to Hightower Church.

Excellent runners venue!

Been coming to this park for some time always have a enjoyable e experience at this nice comfy park. They have the POW WOW, for mothers day here yearly which is a highlight to mothers day every year...

Wonderful hike and fun events

The place is kept clean, well tended. Several riverside picnic spots. About all the fixed grills are rusted through though.

Love this park

Great park. Clean, lots of room for games and having fun.

Playground and exercise equipment are in bad need of replacing.

Great place for hiking and running.

Great place to walk or run. Fast and flat with a good surface.

You cant even bowl here. Its just like gravel in a circular fashion. Cherokee county probably shouldnt have such a misleading name.

Excellent....

Great park, particularly for children! Good safe enviornment for everyone.

Bring an umbrella for shade, stay hydrated.A wonderful cultural event.

Home town so I really cant say to much I dont like

Great outdoor area for the whole family especially if you like to run

Great place to visit with family and friends.

Decent little playground. Really nice track and fields.

Fantastic walking and jogging trails with picturesque views. Also plenty of baseball and soccer fields. Only down side is no dogs allowed

We went to the Park for the Annual Cherokee Indian Festival and had a very informative yet fun day!

Watched flag football game. Nice place.

Great walking trail along Etowah River.

Kids playground is hidden way in the back, and isnt overly large.

One of my favorite places to walk!!
