Beginning along Fordham Boulevard and extending west toward Eastwood Lake, University Place is the location of its namesake mall. As Chapel Hill's only indoor mall, University Place is considered the region's premier shopping destination. In addition to its shops, restaurants, and movie theater, special events -- including the Chapel Hill Farmers Market -- are held at University Place. Kidzu Children's Museum is located inside the mall. Another large shopping plaza, the East Gate Shopping Center, provides more shops, restaurants, and a Whole Foods Market.
At the south end of the neighborhood, Community Park hosts a community center and access to two hiking trails: Battle Branch Trail and Bolin Creek Trail. The park also offers a playground, a pavilion, picnic areas, a basketball court, and a community rose garden. Of course, University Place also reflects its location to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, located about two miles south of University Place.
