Lazy Daze Park- Cary, NC

Lazy Daze Playground is another brand new playground in Cary that opened in January, and it is located within the scenic Bond Park. Inspired by the woodlands that surround it, this playground offers a mix of natural elements and modern play structures, catering to all ages.

At the heart of the playground stands a tall, wooden, climbing structure with a tunnel slide for big kids. Kids definitely have to be experienced in climbing to get to the top! Surrounding the central structure are wooden logs for lower climbing practice, along with a smaller tunnel slide. There is a quaint playhouse slide with a small climbing structure for little ones. The playground also has a  merry-go-round spinner, swings, and a big sandbox.

The playground sits inside of Fred G. Bond Metro Park, which is one of the largest municipal parks in Wake County with 310 acres and has been described as "an oasis in the middle of Cary".  Aside from the new playground, it has an outdoor challenge course, athletic fields, amphitheater, picnic tables with grills and boat rentals on Bond Lake. The Boathouse has boat rentals for all ages and abilities, including pedal boats, kayaks, and canoes.
