Apex Nature Park

The park has nice facilities. Two turf soccer fields, basketball court, tennis and pickleball courts. They also have a picnic area and playground. Supposedly, walking trials but I have never used them. The biggest problem is finding parking spots during busy hours. Also courts always seem busy so make sure you schedule ahead of time.

This park has a little bit of everything from walking trails to disc golf a small playground pickleball, tennis soccer fields a pond. Morning and evening, light here are even fabulous for photo shoots.

Walked it midmorning on a Sat in early Feb. Some rain the night before. It's unremarkable, with no natural or manmade features that stand out. Decently marked & maintained. Parking is plentiful in the city Park at the trailhead. (Restrooms, picnic tables, etc.) There's a disc golf course near the trailhead, after which I crossed paths with very few people (1 couple walking their dog). The hike is well shaded due to the trees/forest. Walking surface is mostly pine needles or leaves, some roots, some gravel (placed by humans), no other rocks. Steepest point is at the start, for ~40 yards, probably 30-40% grade. Most of both loops are low lying, marshy. At times the trail follows a sewer easement (wide, cleared, flat), but not for long. Pine Loop (shortest) is the least marshy, with good boardwalks where it's wet. Access to Pine Loop from Holly Loop has a very good bridge over a stream. I could hear car traffic at times only on Pine Loop. Didn't see much wildlife, some birds but not many. Hardly any trash. Overall, a decent trail to get into nature. Tip: take an extra pair of shoes to change into for the ride home.
