But for more than 20 years, Indian Trail Park has also been home to Ten Bucks Theatre's Shakespeare Under the Stars series.

Audiences have gathered in the park each summer, sitting on blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy professional outdoor theater beneath the beautiful trees.

Now, that experience will be greatly enhanced with the new Indian Trail Amphitheater.

This outdoor venue includes a beautiful stage, perfect for everything from Shakespeare Under the Stars to music performances and community events.

People can still bring their lawn chairs or blankets, but there's now a third option.

Granite seats have been installed on the natural hillside, complete with handrails to keep attendees safe.

The seats are pretty comfortable, but attendees are encouraged to bring seat pads if they prefer something softer.

The venue has everything, including a paved ramp system to make it accessible to all.
