    Beautiful, walkable area. We were there during the farmers market that had a variety of produce, food and art and jewelry stalls.

    Went to see The Bands Visit. Great show. Something different to watch. The Theatre is very very nice. The bar great. Parking is just in front.

    The gardens offer a pleasant way to pass time. There are different themed gardens. I especially liked the Children’s Garden with its treehouse. There is also a spot to watch birds and a butterfly house.

    We paddled around most of the perimeter. Very pleasant wooded shores make it completely non-obvious that you're in the middle of the city, maybe just a little traffic noise. A very nice amenity for the locals. Only electric and paddle craft allowed on the water, and no swimming. We saw lots of little fish and some big ones in the snags. Turtles and birds too.
    We put in at the NW corner near the rental shop. We're visiting from out of town and the staff there courteously explained the permitting restrictions on the lake. It would be nice for the paddling dock to run out a little further beyond the weeds.

    I saw a new post on the museum’s Facebook page that said they were open early, so we hurried on over. The desk attendant was very nice, knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic and helpful, and oriented us to the 3 museum buildings with a very helpful map. She even helped us get a cockpit tour of the C130 Hercules! The displays and signage were great.
    It was evident that a lot of time, energy and care went into restoring the aircraft and vehicles, and creating the exhibits.

    Baum Stadium is a beautiful ballpark! There are several ways to experience a game here. The views from all seats are good. The “Hog Pen” is a fun way to experience a game with first come seating in the grassy area. Your lawn chairs, food and drinks are allowed to be brought in for this area. We enjoy the “Bark in the Park” events too.

    Live near the park. Definitely one of my “happy” places to hang out in Fayetteville. The other day, the ice cream truck pulled into the park. Kids ran to the truck. Brought back great memories

    Great arena to host an event! Our company hosts their annual event here and it's a nice arena with good views all the way around. Highly recommend visiting an event here!

    The Fayetteville Library is truly a gem and a wonderful resource for our community. It goes to show how much good can come to our community when we invest in it.

    I go weekly with my two children, and it is something we look forward to every week. The children's section is so spacious and wonderous with all of its many books, puzzles, and computers for the kids to play with. I also love that the library has a program to encourage reading called, "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" that my daughter loves. After every 100 books, they get a small prize.

    This library is huge with multiple stories and a parking garage. It can be easy to get lost at first, but the librarians are very helpful and it is easy to figure out. The library has several beautiful spots to relax and study outside, including a balcony with swinging chairs and a beautiful pavilion. Plus, they have a cafe and a cafeteria with reasonably priced (and tasty) food and beverages.

    Other resources that I haven't tried yet, but I am looking forward to is the genealogy section and the 3D printing lab. They often have story-times, lectures and workshops that people can attend as well.

    Although it can be a maze, it is worth exploring and taking advantage of. I wish all libraries could be as amazing as this.

    History buffs of the 1980s and 1990s (and beyond) should enjoy this site. Very near the university where Bill taught at the law school. Of course, without Hillary, Bill would have remained just the most popular law professor in Fayetteville. Parking may be a challenge.

    Very nice campus setting. Well kept. Good concessions. Cold November game, with snow - but at least LSU squeaked out a road win. The bench seats are close together, which complicates knee room above and below - difficulty in passing fans to/from their seats. The tunnels do create a significant pinch point for egress.
