Visit the "heart" of Asheville, North Carolina-- Pack Square Park, located right in the middle of the downtown area.
If you're in Asheville, it'll be quite difficult to miss out on going to or at least hearing about Pack Square Park. The park is bustling with activity as it's a common, middle ground place for people to meet up, to take a lunch break, or to catch some rays of sun on a warm day. It's also a common place for tourists to cut through on Segway tours and for large community events to occur. These include concerts, marches, or organized protests for a cause.
Surrounding the park are plenty of city government and historic buildings, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and stores. So don't worry, if you were planning on getting a bite to eat after hanging at the park or vice versa, there are plenty of options for you to easily walk to. Native trees and greenery along with water features decorate the park. You'll also notice the artistic touches on the handmade ceramic tiles that make up the impressive stage performers regularly entertain on.
This park is open during all hours and is one of the stops on the S2 bus if you're looking to take public transportation.
