Opened on June 1, 1990, Kernersville Lake Park has a total of 160 acres, 60 acres of which are taken up by the lake itself. Here groups and individuals enjoy the lakeside picnicing and the opportunity to fish from the bank or a boat. Children especially enjoy the brightly colored pedal boats and a chance to observe and enjoy the atmosphere of animal and marine life at this local water source. The Town of Kernersville owns the park property and has leased the land to Forsyth County to operate it as a countywide park.

It had been closed to the public for some time. With the funds available from the Town of Kernersville and some grant money, along with money from Forsyth County, the Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department took on the task of development and operation of the park. Though the park property is still owned by the Town of Kernersville, it is operated and supervised completely by Forsyth County. RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
