outdoors SPECTATOR RECREATION If you’re looking for a sport that lets you do more of the cheering and less of the actual playing, Greensboro has that, too. The Grasshoppers, the Marlin’s Single A affiliate, play each summer at NewBridge Bank Park, while the pro Carolina Dynamo soccer team draws a devoted fanbase at Macpherson Stadium at Bryan Park every year. And in 2016, the NBA made Greensboro home of one of its new NBA D League teams. The Swarm (developmental team for the Carolina Hornets) played their first game in their new facility, the nearly 38,500 square-foot Field House, in November 2016. If golf is your thing, you can both tee off and cheer on the pros in Greensboro. Home to the Wyndham Championship, the city’s top-notch golf venues host both thrilling PGA matchups and provide opportunities for local and visiting golfers to experience their challenging and beautiful courses as well.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO PLAY? It might be a long walk through winding greenscapes, a run or bike through wooded hills or city streets, a night with a hot dog, some popcorn and good old-fashioned baseball, or something altogether different. Whatever your favorite way to play Greensboro has it, and the city is always adding more. To plan your perfect day or trip to Greensboro, visit www.VisitGreensboroNC.com
