I work with the Town of Cary so here's my 2 cents...

Annie L. Jones Park - No. Baseball field, tennis courts, Scottish Hills Pool across the street.
1414 Tarbert Drive

Dorothy Park - No.
720 Griffis Street

Davis Drive Park - Haven't been there, but I doubt it.
1610 Davis Drive

Fred G. Bond Metro Park - Yes, fits what you're looking for. Great lake area, large grass area.
801 High House Road

Green Hope Elementary School/Park - No. Elem. school, Cary Tennis Center across the street.
2750 Louis Stephens Drive

Harold D. Ritter Park - No. Couple of baseball fields, large shelter, basketball court... no real grass areas.
301 West Lochmere Drive

Heater Park - NO
400 S. West Street

Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve - No. I did some volunteer work there for a class, pretty cool place if you're into that kind of thing (nature trails). They have a courtyard where you could sit and relax, but it's a small area.
2616 Kildaire Farm Road

Kids Together Park - ? No
111 Thurston Drive

Lexie Lane Park - No. Softball/Baseball field, small basketball court.
301 N. Dixon Street

Lions Park - No. 2 Baseball fields right through the trees behind Cary High School
815 Tanglewood Drive

MacDonald Woods Park - Possibly. I've never been there but I believe there is some grassy area there to relax. BBall court.
1601 Seabrook Avenue

Middle Creek School/Park - No.
151 Middle Creek Park Ave

North Cary Park - Possibly. Out off Cary Pkwy near SAS. Sand volleyball courts, bball courts, tennis courts... not sure about the grassy area but there is a large grass hill next to the beach volleyball courts.
1100 Norwell Blvd.

Robert V. Godbold Park - No, but I haven't been there in years.
2151 N.W. Maynard Road

Rose Street Park - No, no crowd but it's a small area.
110 Rose Street

R.S. Dunham Park - No. Tennis courts, playground, basketball courts, often crowded.
519 Walnut Street

Thomas E. Brooks Park - No. Great softball complex though. Future site of USA Baseball. But don't think they have much of a "relax" spot.
111 Brooks Park Ave

Urban Park - NO
414 E. Chatham Street


Definitely check out Bond Park.

Arboretum is great.

Lake Johnson is also, if you go on the unpaved (east) side. nice little trails, youll find a hill overlooking the lake where you can sit in the grass. it would be sunny in the morning, shady in the afternoon.
