St. Stephens Park Video

Published: September 28, 2022

We're excited to take you on a mini desk vacation to tour our Catawba County Parks with a series of videos produced by Garrick Lane of Table Rock Productions. This week, our trip is to St. Stephens Park.

Whatever you decide to do at this 9-acre park, don't forget to bring your dog. The park's signature one-acre off-leash dog park offers unfettered play time for Fido and has become a beloved hangout for locals and their four-legged companions. This suburban oasis on the outskirts of Hickory also features a playground, horseshoe pits, a paved literacy trail, and a wooded 1/3-mile hiking loop.

St. Stephens Park is part of the Catawba County Parks System which also includes Bakers Mountain Park, Mountain Creek Park and Riverbend Park. Learn more about each, plus the County's 50+ other parks, at catawbacountyparks.org.
