Things to do in Apex

Apex, North Carolina.  Named the “Peak of Good Living” and is ranked #9 in the top places to live in the U.S.  Living in this small town most of my life has made me realize that it has entertainment limits.  Most people think that Beaver Creek and downtown Apex are the only places with things to do.  They are poorly mistaken.  From the small suburban neighborhoods to busy highways, Apex has a wide variety of activities.  Whether it’s hanging out with friends at parks or taking a relaxing walk around Lake Pine, you’ll be surprised at what Apex has to offer.

Neighborhood parks (Bella Casa neighborhood-opening March 29)
Attend fashion trunk shows to see new clothing coming to stores
Walking/Jogging around Lake Pine
Kickboxing, dancing (open studios)- free instructional classes
Thrift shopping (Goodwill, Uptown Cheapskate)
Sports fields off Salem St. and Shakleton Rd. at the corner of Apex Peakway

Everyone should take advantage of some of these free parks and classes Apex has to offer while on spring break.
